First Saltwater/Reef Tank

Dycofree · Jun 2, 2018

Hey guys! My names Dylan and I have been in the fishkeeping hobby for over a year now and currently own a 125 gallon freshwater tank. I have taken the dive into salt/reefing recently and have a 29 gallon that is in the process of being setup. I currently have a few pieces of live rock with 25 pounds or so of dry rock on the way. I cant wait to scape it! I got my first introduction to hitch hikers today with a Mojano Anemone, which with the help of some members here, I quickly dispatched and sealed off its hole with super glue (aquarium safe of course). I am very nervous about bad hitch hikers as Im not fully informed of their capability of wrecking my entire system some day (worst nightmare), yikes. Any info on this would easy my mind! I am incredibly excited about this tank and plan to grow some soft corals, and house a pair of clown fish, a pistol shrimp/goby pair, and a fire fish. I might swap the fire fish out with cardinals, but i havent looked into them at all yet. Any tips/tricks you guys have would be AWESOME! Heres a pic of my setup and some other add ons including the Anemone that I had to remove!

More pics to come!
