Hi guys! My name is Berg and I’m from Colorado. I am very new to reef tanks, The only reason was because I am working with a genus of freshwater goby (Stiphodon gobies) that mature in saltwater for a thesis paper. I set up a 1.5 gallon with live rock and sand and water from a friends mature tank. The only purpose was to raise the baby gobies. I noticed a lot of what I thought was possibly corals on the rock, I texted him and asked and he said they were zoanthid corals! I asked him if she wanted it back and he said that they’ve been spreading in his tank like wildfire and I should consider it a gift, after observing them in the tank for two days and seeing the process of them opening and closing, eating (he came over and showed me how), and just being in the tank I was totally hooked. I’ve started putting together a 10 gallon tank, and I have a list of things I’m buying for it, can anyone give me opinion or advice on it?
List:
Carib Sea ACS00110 Crushed Coral
NICREW 30W Reef LED
Salinity Refractometer
Instant Ocean Reef Crystals bucket
MarineLand Penguin Bio-Wheel 150 gph
DaToo 50 watt heater
Anything else I should get? Anyone willing to help mentor me? I’m very excited but very nervous.
