Going good I have spent pretty much the spent day researching different SW topics.

Have you got a tank up and running?

 

[Calmwaters]

Only if you have written yourself a note so you don't forget, and forget where you put the note

I may or may not have done this before maybe even several times...

What, you don't remember?

No not yet but I have one I'm going to be getting next month. It's almost 8 hours from me but a friend is meeting me half way with it and a bunch of rock. I am getting what I think is a really good deal on it. It's 125 gallon acrylic with pretty much everything to set it up except for lights and a heater for $700.

That sounds like a good deal.

I'm pretty excited about it. Told my friend today I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas.

What are your plans for the tank?
What fish?
Mixed reef, LPS or SPS dominant?

I'm planning on doing a mixed reef but want to start out with only fish and corals and mushrooms that are considered easy as this will be my first SW tank. I know I want pulsating xenia and zoas. Clowns and then I'm still trying to decide what else I am going to try my best to stock with captive bred only.

I started out with some easy corals like a leather, GSP, Duncan, Xenia and now I am working my way into some harder sps corals. So far all good.

Oh I like Duncan's and GSPs as well. I like lots of color and long flowing tenticals I'm still learning all the names.

Make sure you put your gsp on a rock island so you don’t regret it. This is mine that I have had for over 2 years. I love to watch it flow.

If it is growing on the back wall of your tank how do you remove it?

I love it!!! And thanks for the tip!

I’ve never had it on a back wall but many people do it and love it. I think the best way to remove it would be to use a razor blade and scrape it but I would shut off all flow so you don’t lose any that will colonize somewhere you don’t want it to be. Maybe someone will chime in that has done it before.
