Hey guys, I'm Aaron. I'm 14 and hale from Alabama. Hmmmm where to start, to describe me, listen to this: YouTube - Trace Adkins - "Ala Freakin Bama" [ New Music Video + Lyrics + Download ] I have been researching sw fish for about 4 years now. Not really the equipment kind of guy, but know an ok bit about that. I have a 75g that has been running for about 2 years now, we have a guy take care of it, but uhh not for long

shhhhh.... It looks like crap due to a calcium drop. So anyways I got a 20H for christmas and set it up, I took water and sand from my 75g. I got about 13 lbs of base rock. Tanks been running 3 and a half weeks.

aquaclear 30 (gonna get a 70 and mod to fuge when I get some bday money)

Livestock:

13 lbs of base rock
1 Onyx clown
1 Black/White clown
2 blue leg hermits
3 heads of Armor of God
5 heads of Un-id
6 heads of radioactive dragon eyes
1 head of whammin watermelon

Now for the good stuff

Welcome to R2R! Looks like you've got a good start. What kind of corals are you planning on keeping?

OOO well I really like zoas and payls, but none of mine are opening and its ticking me off and tempting me not to buy more if they won't open, I am for sure getting either a hammer or fs. I want to get an acan garden going but that will be when I get some cash cuz those suckers are expensive. Hmmm some mushrooms and rics, few more LPS that i come across, deffinitly a green birds nest, maybe a clam, ummm some monti cap. Just w/e else I see at my LFS that I like. I would really like to get some darth mauls and possibly a blue or purple or red hornet if I have some extra cash.
