It's been a few years since I've done any saltwater tanks. My last tank was a 75 gallon with softies, shrooms, ricordeas, and a couple of fish. Since I tore that one down to move, I've got a 110 extra high FW angelfish tank, a 75 gallon african cichlid (males) tank, a 20 gallon guppy tank, and a 10 gallon cherry shrimp and angelfish fry tank. Up until recently, I had a bearded dragon. When I sold him, I got a 5 gallon AIO tank. After adding some sand and (dead) live rock, I cycled it for about a month and then added a couple of snails and hermit crabs. I gave it another two weeks and made my first mistake: I added palys! Another two weeks and I got a zoa frag and some GSP. Last month I added a peppermint shrimp and the only fish I'm going to have: a clownfish. I upgraded my light last week in the hopes of getting some bird'snest eventually. It's been a fun experience!
