Hello everyone! I’ve always wanted a saltwater tank but never had the time to make the investment earlier in life. I’ve had some health issues this past year and gained some free time. I decided to take the plunge and six months ago purchased a used 29 Biocube just to get my feet wet. Well, I now have nine fish, a fire shrimp, a star fish, a dozen clean up crew and a couple corals. I’m addicted. LOL I just purchased a Red Sea Reefer 350 and will be upgrading in the next couple weeks. I will be asking quite a few questions and stalking the forums to learn all I can.

I’m a little heavy on fish and feel like the upgrade is necessary at this time. 2 sissortails, 3 fire fish, 1 baby hippo tang, 2 clowns. Oops that’s 8 fish, not 9. They are all small but definitely pushing the bioload.
 
I would agree :D the blue tang will get big, and fast!
