Hello everybody,
I kinda got into my setup in a rush not on purpose I have wanted a saltwater tank since I was a kid but could never justify the cost but a couple months ago my son has a friend that he works with giving everything away tanks, equipment fish everything so just couldn't pass it up he was supposed to keep the fish until I got set up and cycled but it didn't happen that way I got home from work and my son shows up with it all fish included poor things got down to 62 degrees by the time we got it all put back together so I got a short 50 gal and a long tall 50 gal two mature black Ocselaris, a Foxface and a Black Sailfin Goby a decent size rock with xenia that has not done well a couple plugs with I don't know what on them one of them is doing really well and a rock with some zoanthids I think fire and ice that spread well, a soft coral that I don't know what it is and a couple small mushrooms. Well I wasn't happy with a 50 so went and got a 75 and got it cycled and over the last week moved everybody in and a few new additions a pair of juvenile Damsels and a pair of juvenile regular Oscelaris we have around 35 red leg hermits, a bunch of snails that are too stupid to stay upright, 2 Brittle stars, 2 Serpent stars, a Pencil urchin, 4 Peppermint shrimp, 2 Emerald crabs and 3 Porcelin crabs and everybody seems to be very happy together.
Well I think thats it except I have LOTS of questions
