Hello fellow aquarium enthusiast's! I have a 47 gallon Salt water with 10 fishes. 3 chromis, 2 clown fish, one is a clarki and He is the biggest! 2 elegant black and white striped damsels. a puffer, a sea star and a striped blenny! Oh and i cant forget a 4 inch Royal Gramma! Having fun with rocks and new decor ( asian house with large opening, fish love it ). But how do I blow off my live rock? Also have one cobalt blue damsel,, Never do water changes but add 4 gallons of spring water weekly which is treated with conditioner.

Welcome. A turkey baster or a small pump attached to a stick works well.

I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
