Thanks for the reply. I was wondering why it was so quiet here. I'll check out reef2reef.

Nearly 10 years ago, I set up my 75gallon for the first time, only to tear it down on its one year anniversary due to new job/training/relocation (I'm military). My reclass ultimately got canceled and I've been too bitter about the situation set up the aquarium since. I had just reached the...

Got a 20G high on craiglist for $100. Came with a stand, T5 lights, HOB skimmer and filter, koralia power head and a few extras. It will be my QT/frag tank. I know I'll need to update the lights and filter before I start frag-in. I'm a long way from that.

For my tank, I got a 6 bulb T5HO icecap retrofit and installed it into my canopy. The reflectors clip onto the bulbs and can be adjusted to push more light where you want it. If the spacing between bulbs is adequate, these reflectors could work. IceCap Single Lamp T5 Retrofit Reflector

Thanks, your's seems off to a good start. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I thought quarantining was to prevent fish with from spreading illness. I understand that the fish carry internal and external parasites, but if the fish is healthy enough to fight it off, isn't it gone from the system or in check to a point. Doesn't quarantining new...

Little fish, do you have a link to your qt? What ever I do, I plan on running it all the time and would like it to look nice. Canister filter or built in Filtration doesn't matter.

I plan on setting up this tank to qt future purchases both coral and fish. I just don't know what setup to get. Trying to spend around 150, and do something a little more exciting than a standard 10 gallon.

I'm looking at getting a 37 gallon eclipse aquarium for a QT. The dimensions are 20" long x 10" deep and 24" tall. I'm concerned with how deep the tank is. I do plan on keeping corals and anemone in the future. Would any of these be a better option? Fluval Spec V Aquarium Kit in Black...

I found these all over my tank. Very tiny. the snails are eating them LOL

Working on acquiring a quarantine tank. Then I will quarantine some live rock that I want in my fuge and hopefully a clownfish, spotted foxface, or coral beauty. I also like PJ cardinals and fire fish. Any of these eat pods? I don't want anything that with compete with a Mandarin for food...

Skittles enjoys fish gazing too. Starfish Feet! Algae shots now. Is this coraline? And the fish. 7 blue green chromis. They school together all the time and often hide in the rock. I have to entice them out with food.

Now for the creatures. I found one of my hermit crabs has 2 sea feather duster on it!! Here is a pic of both worm. the second one is to the lower left of the one that should jump out at you. LOL It's a little hard to see. I found a baby starfish today!! It's about the size of a dime.

Pics from today!! I haven't added anything in 2 months. I can't to get my birthday present this weekend. It's a quarantine tank!! Then I can get some more fishies! Let's start with some full tank shots.

Do you think she can see us? Look how white the shell is

These pics are from January 7th when I added the snails crabs and starfish.

Update: I have some pics from January when I added the snails, crabs and starfish. Readings have been great, and I've been doing regular water changes. I can't remember how to post pics LOL. It's been too long since I've checked in with you guys.

Did a water change and the 7 chromis are still eating and schooling. I did a round of tests before the water change and parameters look good, with exception of nitrates being around 5. I'll check the water again tonight as I continue to monitor the water quality. I lost another fish...
