ReadyReefer Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Alright so i decided to take down my first attempt at a SW aquarium because the chromis i was using to cycle died . After that i decided to detch the LFS advice and just use stuff that i found here and in books. the tank has already cycled on behalf of the aforementioned chromis. Here are the specs. TANK 10 gallon AGA FILTRATION Penguin 150 BioWheel. (ditched biowheel and am using back chamber for extra rocks etc.) 5-7 lbs of cycled LR LIGHTING 15 watt (to be upgraded later) HEATER 100 watt HOT CURRENT TANK INHABITANTS 1 pink margarita snail 1 emerald mithrax crab PLANNED TANK INHABITANTS 2-3 more snails 1-2 blue legged hermits 1 purple firefish assorted mushrooms and zoos (after lighting upgrade) and now for the pics let me know what you think Link to comment
ReadyReefer Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 get more rocks then. I was planning to but this was all the guy i bought them from was willing to sell I thought about ditching the mushroom idea and just getting something like a colt coral to grow up the back and then maybe xenia or gsp for the foreground. BTW i am dosing calcium and buffer Link to comment
ReadyReefer Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 ok i am not sure about the purple firefish anymore since i have done some more researching and read that they could be quite shy. does anyone have any suggestions for bright fish that would be content in a small tank. i was thinking about a perc but wasnt sure if i could take all the nemo comments . Also i got a raise in my allowance so i am going to place an order for more LR at the end of the month. Link to comment
irishtexan Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Its a great start! . Yeah you could go with a perc. or Ocellaris clown. Or some kind of goby. Active and colorful. Link to comment
ReadyReefer Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 I went to the LFS today to buy a calcium test kit and another snail. Well I ended up buying the test kit and a reef hermit. I wanted to buy a really neat yellow feather duster but my mom said I needed to save some money . Here are my parameters right now Ammonium = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 5 DOWN Calcium = 400 ALK = 2.5 pH = 8.1 Link to comment
