Hello eveyone.I had my 50 Gallon tank for about 4 years now.When i first got it i was really into it.I set it up with just the basics.40 Lbs liverock,Seaclone 100 skimmer,AquaClear 300 power filter,two AquaClear 301 powerheads,Just the basic 50/50 coralife bulb.I let the live rock cycle,and added some fish slowly.Couple clownfish,damsels,royle gramma,5 cleaner shrimp,star fish.Pretty good chunk of change.Everything was going good for about a year.I went to the pet store and loved this trigger fish i saw,so i bought him and 3 red hermit crabs.3 months later the trigger fish ate all my fish accept one Damsel.I think the red hermit crabs ate fish too.
So i gave up,i left the trigger in and never looked backed.I have maintained the tank for 3 years,Never added any fish.The tank is very healthy hints only two fish.Until last week i decided to take the Trigger to a pet store and give it to them.
I got 1 Tomatoe clown,2 Common clown,3 Domino Damsels,6 yellow tailed Damsels,for now.Im really looking forward to upgrading the whole system.Im looking to a Reef fish tank.50/50 Fish and coral.
I know a little, but not alot.I need to get a better lighting system.Thats the #1 thing.Ive been hearing alot about a Sump protein skimmer,and was wondering if thats a direction i should go in?Or is my system ok for corals?
Thanks,any advice or criticism on what i should do.
