Reefing newb
hey everyone. I am new to both salt water tanks and this site. I never really had to go through the start up process with my tank. I actually got my tank form my brother in law when he moved out. He took his 55 gallon tank but left his 30 gallon. My tank was started with salt water from an already established tank and came with everything for a starter tank. In the tank I have a gold tail damsel, a sand sifting star fish, a shrimp (not really sure what kind), a snail, and a hermit crab. When I first took over this tank you couldn't tell anything was living in it because the damsel never came out. Since taking over the tank I have manged to get all the living rock and sand arranged so that all the critters are happy and the Damsel stays out until the light is turned off at night. The tank was neglected by both my brother in law and my boyfriend, who also has a 55 gallon salt water tank. Since getting the tank I have add 5 new snails and am hoping to add a pair of maroon clowns soon. Once I gain some more experience I will be adding a Dwarf zebra lionfish. I have already done all my research about adding him to my tank and know that I can't have any fish that will fit in his mouth that is why he is going to be the last fish that I will add.
