Hey 15yr old (almost 16) newbie here

flairbear04 · Nov 27, 2020

Hi everybody! I’m a young (16 in December) newbie here. My dad did a lot of freshwater tanks, but this is both of our first time doing a saltwater tank. We have a 32 biocube. (Side note: yes we are probably overstocked my dad likes getting new fish a little too much even though I say we have enough and loves to get them without doing much research!) We have a fire clam (hard to keep yes I know! Refer to side note) 4 orange ocellaris clownfish and one black and white one. Again I know not recommend but they really do seem to get along besides some problems I’m having with my black and white one. I’ll start a new thread on that one. 2 blue chromis. A diamond goby. A royal gamma. A purple firefish goby. Lots of snails and hermies. 2 Feather dusters. A coral banded shrimp (he’s getting way to big!) Two coral that I have no clue what they are and possibly dying? A little duncan with 3 heads(for lack of better word) and a hammerhead coral. And an orange sponge that is probably dying. And lotsss of questions. I’m really looking forward to all of your advice and help!

If I sound mean I’m not trying to be I’m just a little overwhelmed and want my little fishies to be happy. So I’m really excited to hear all your advice and help.

Welcome Aboard R2R brother glad to have you here much luck to you, very cool ur starting young, this is more satisfying than video games and more challenging

Welcome to R2R. Lots of clowns in there but I understand where your dad is coming from. I don't think I ever met a fish I did not want haha.

Definitely do some threads in the forums to tackle each question you have. You can also post some up close pictures of the corals in question that you think are dying. You will get lots more views and assistance.

One again, welcome to R2R. Glad you are here and look forward to seeing your posts.
