Uh oh I hope I'm not over run lol

Cool thanks, so no worries about this guy? And how is he surviving if my tank is just a week old? Enough bacteria for him to eat?

Hey anyone know what this guy is? Found him in my tank the other day. Its definitely a little snail but is he good? Bad? I dunno if I should worry about him.

I think its beautiful right now cuz it means things are moving along nicely lol

Ok, yea I did get my rock from the store down the road. But u guys must know what its like starting your first tank, youre bound to make mistakes u know, im just going off a collective amount of info that im getting from about 30 different ppl.I wasnt planning on adding anything else. But the...

Cool thanks again rob, I was already thinking f putting more rock in there somewhere but as of now my LFS is kinda limited on rock until they get a new shipment in. But I will definitely look for a nice flat piece for some bottom corals. And check this out I came home from work yesterday to wha...

Ok thanks. Hopefully it might survive but just in case I didn't drop a lot of money on it, about 35 bucks, they only thing that made me antsy was because in the love rock I bought I found two emerald crabs and its been about two and a half days and they are okay. So that made me hopeful to...

Ok check out day 3. I added live rock and even my first coral. Good or bad choise? What do u guys think?

I hope I didn't make a bad buy. But I also bout that live rock and there were too emerald crabs attached that I didn't know about, they have been in there for almost two days and seem to be just fine. Is this rare? Or is it a good sign meaning that my water is in good condition?

What is a GBTA? Check it out, this is what I have so far. I decided to buy a pipe coral, it looked pretty and seems like they aren't too hard to keep alive and I got it pretty cheap. It was either this or a mushroom.

Thanks for the info Rob I think im gonna do the safe bet and start with one clownfish but as far as corals go im still kinda lost on what are good coral to start with besides LPS or SPS, i forgot which one is the easier one Bubble corals have kind of stuck out in my mind as one of the corals i...

I believe they are all LEDs here is what my lights look like

Hey guys I just wanted to share that I finally got my tank up and running for day 1 of cycling! It even came with a protein skimmer that I had no idea about. Anyways, I got things going without too much trouble and anything I had questions about everyone was very helpful so I just wanted to say...

Hey salt would upgrading the lighting in my biocube with the extra LEDs that it already has slots and is set up for be enough for other corals or would i need to replace the entire lighting system completely? Because it has extra slots for 4 more LEDs i believe or is even that still not enough?

well thats awesome though, i was always worried that i would be stuck with whatever i chose and thats it so at least i know you have a chance to experiment and not just lose the money you spend on fish. do you have any suggestions on corals i could start with?
