Hello from Australia
We have taken the plunge and "invested" in our first marine tank and are super excited at the possibilities that lay ahead.
Here is what we have:
* Red Sea Reefer 350
* Aqua Medic K2 Protein Skimmer
* Eheim UV350 Steriliser
* Aqua Medic Eco Runner 2700 pump
* Maxspect R420r 15000k LED lights
* Eheim Heater
We ran the tank for 3 weeks with no livestock. Once it had stabilised we got 1 clownfish and 2 blue-green chromis who have been perfectly happy and healthy and waderful to watch for hours! Once these had been in the tank for a couple of weeks, we added 2 zombie snails, 2 trochus snails and a hermit crab to start the cleanup crew.
On Thursday (about 6 weeks after the initial fish were introduced) we added a second clownfish, a bengaii cardinal, a zebra-striped dartfish, a starfish and some extra clean-up crew (2 smaller hermit crabs). All appear to have adjusted beautifully and are swimming and eating well.
Attached are a couple of photos of the current set up. Any and all comments or advice most welcome and appreciated.
