Hi! Another newbie

[VickyS]

I'm Vicky. I'm in Surrey in the UK and have been keeping fish on and off for ~25 years ... albeit fresh until the last 7 years.

I have a small 60l tropical and a 4000l pond, but my pride & joy is/was my marine. I say is/was based on this thread that I posted earlier today :-(

My tank is going through a 'come-back' cycle after some pretty heavy duty clean-up. Once that is done, I should be running with ...

• 400 litre/88 gallon
• Deltec MCE600 HoB skimmer, Maxspect Gyre Flo XF330 & Live rock

We have suspended floors and I don't trust the floor with the additional weight of a sump
Religious about maintenance, testing & water changes

Population currently in hospital tank

• Marine Betta/Comet
• 2 black & white clowns
• Sand sifter star
• Red Serpent Star
• Blue leg hermit

(just lost leopard wrasse, blue tuxedo urchin, red stripe dwarf angel, achilles tang *gulp*, group of damsels)

Current parameters in 400l

• NH4: 0.4
• No3: 0
• No2: 0.5
• PH: 8
• Salinity: 1.025
• Temp: 27c
• PO: 0.14
• Mg: 1400
• Ca: 400
• KH: 3.0/ 8.4

Anemones terrifying to have in a tank for the exact reason you mentioned in your other thread. I'm sorry about all that loss. It stinks. I'm glad you joined us. You will love it here. Show us some pics and please include a photo of your pond! I love ponds. Welcome to R2R!
