Just an old country boy trying to get my wife's sw tank all set up. I use to have one a long time ago and having trouble remembering everything. The worse part about it is trying to get it set up, teach her as i go, and drive my big truck. Well for starters i have a 46 gal bow tank with two emp. 400 and a 80gph pump. I have around 25 pounds of live rock, 4 damsels, one yellow tang, a whole bunch of snails, 3 emerald crabs, about 8 blue legged hermit crabs, and one brittle star fish. My wife went crazy for fish will i was out on the road this time. The only thing i have a question about was this time when i came home the tank had a brown stuff(brown algae i think) on the tank and on the sand. My wife said it just appeared and i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Also a peice of living rock she bought has now got barnacls on it is this a bad thing and do i need to get rid of them. The rock also has feather dusters on it. thks twotall
