Wife has been jonesing for a Saltwater tank for years. We jumped in with a Biocube 32 in Jan. I've been trying to learn as much as possible, so that we don't have to have a service. I haven't had anything to crazy happen just yet. Almost lost it when I experienced the diatoms for the first time, but then found out it happens to the new tanks. Small clean up crew knocked most of it out. Have a couple fish. 2 yellow tail damsels, peppermint shrimp, 6 line wrasse, couple blue leg hermits, a couple of snails and coral frags (zoas, Duncan, Favia, pipe organ, ricordea, torch). Lost a diamond goby, may have eaten everything there was to eat. Another peppermint shrimp, he vanished, we then saw his shell sitting at the top of the scape. He may have not been hiding very well when he molted and being all soft, likely got eaten. But that was not such a sad loss, that guy was very aggressive and killed at least 3 snails of various types.

Testing weekly, all things good, at least I think
Water change every other week.

So far so good.
