Very new to all this- jumping in at the salt tank at my school (with help) trying to learn about all this stuff these past few months. Im looking for new additions for the tank all around- inverts, fish, and coral ;) Recommendations for the tank/ info as to where i can be learning about all this is greatly appreciated!
Heres some info as to the current setup:
Tank was moved and got new additions as of 7/25- so around 6 months running
210 Gal display
Sump- Proclear RedFlex 200
2 fans/pumps Sicce Syncra SDC XStream
Pump- Sicce Syncra SDC 6.0
3 lights- AI Hydra 32 HD
2 ATP Titanium Heaters 500w
Octo classic 150 INT skimmer
Powder Tang
Purple Tang (getting rid of him..)
Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish
Starry Blenny
Cardinalfish x1 (2 of them died :( will prob get more soon)
Flame Hawkfish
Royal Gramma
Melanurus Wrasse
Blue spotted mexican jawfish
2 clownfish (i dont know exactly what they are, theyre black,white, and orange w spots)
sea cucumber (getting rid of him, he doesnt do his job lol)
some snails
some little itty bitty starfish
Skunk cleaner shrimp
2 banded shrimp, 2 peppermint shrimp (allegedly... i havent seen them in awhile...)
2 hermits (unfortunately i also dont know what they are)
Toadstool
some zoas
(there are some others- not just softies- but i dont know what they are :/ )
I will need to see what all supplements and water-care type stuff we have/use - i just know we daily feed the fish pellets and frozen mashed fish, and every few days put in some liquid for the corals. (i know thats super vague- i really need to find out lol)
So- Mainly im on the lookout for more corals to cover those base rocks since theres alot or bare rock showing! Also mostly looking for more cleaners. Thought it would be fun to have something for the clowns to host in- and maybe more fish like another jawfish, more cardinalfish, etc. A starfish would be fun but i know it depends on some things lol.
Regardless- im open to any and all IDs, recs, info, and anything esle as im very very to all of this and trying to gain knowledge and experience.
Theres a lady at the local aquatic store that comes in to help with this tank every week-thus how weve made it this far lol.
Thank you all! looking forward to being a part of this community
