I like to ask my questions at the fish/coral stores and get the solution right then and there if I have any issues, but many stores aren't helpful cause they expect you to know everything. I don't know what I don't know lol but I want to learn!
Shout out to ♡ ～('▽^人) aquariumfishdepot.com for helping me along the way. I did not give up cause they never gave up on me. Asked me all the right questions to figure out what is the issue. They test all the parameters, got all my fish there. Excellent customer service. At least all the peeps that helped me!
[ Example ]
(●´⌓`●) "Help! Explains"
( •_•) "Parameters? Don't know? Can't help you!"
- feeling hopeless - tries aquariumfishdepot -
(●´⌓`●) "Help! Explains"
(⁀ᗢ⁀) "Hmm, bring your water! Let's test it!" *explains step by step* got products along the way, added my first fish with them, rocks, etc.
Anyway, after many more research and getting my feet into my first saltwater tank, I found this forum and decided to make a thread!
This is my journey°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
I am just an anxious person. I wanna test constantly lol but i don't want to visit the fish store constantly like a madman. Plus it's 10USD to get tested each time...so
Just sold my kidneys for the reef set hanna checkers. Once that gets here I can start asking questions online! Yay!
Problems I've encountered so far:
Light issues? Maybe. I'm renting a par meter that coming today ✔
My rock flower got suck into my powerhead (I cried) which I changed out to a safer option hopefully ✔
My tank is deeper than it is long so I got a light blade strip to light everything for future
Trusting coral shops!! I would get freshly cut frags and would not know and it dies instantly.
How I know this? I put the frag in my tank and the whole skin layer would fly off!
ಥ_ಥ "wHa?" *emails store*
(⩺_⩹) "It's in God's hands now"
ಥ_ಥ "Ok.."
I should've stop getting it from them.. THEN..
I brought 7 candy canes of different heads and colors. I should have like 3 different colors. I have 2 colors.(╯•ᗣ•╰) I brought it individually too. I didn't get to pick because I brought on the website and pick up in store.
Learn my lesson! Buy frags with me own eyes ⸂⸂⸜(രᴗര๑)⸝⸃⸃
(ง •̀_•́)ง So what's next
-Adding more small rocks till my fish throws it back
-Dealing with some algae atm so the testing will help with it
-After testing, see what I can do lol I don't get it till next week.
-Save up and buy from a good shop.
-Relax and watch the tank! I sprain my back doing these water changes lol!
future list️ (TBA)
-Moar Gonis/Alve!! MOARRR
-Mushrooms
-Different color frogspawn
-Softies down the line
-More hermit crabs
Thanks! -=≡Σ(((⊃ﾟ∀ﾟ)つ
Equipment:
-70lbs Live sand
-40gal rock pack + adding small rocks here and there
-lights: Amazon Smatfarm 95w + aquaillumination blade strip
-Aquatop saltwater 125g filter with protein skimmer
