Reefer Madness
Hello, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Daniel and 3 weeks ago I decided to convert my 60 gallon freshwater aquarium to salt. I had been a freshwater hobbiest for a little over 2 years and decided I was a little bored with it, so I made the jump.
It was a bit of a start up cost but I love every aspect of it 10x more than freshwater. I am basically glued to my tank now and wouldn't have it any other way.
I currently have 60 pounds of live rock (supposedly fiji), I started off with 2 clown fish and 1 lawnmower blennie. I also have 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 blood red fire shrimp, and one peppermint shrimp. I have a few snails, about 7 hermit crabs, red tipped and blue leg. After a few days I bought 2 leather corals (supposedly) and a set of polyps. I might have my terminology wrong there, but I'm still learning.
I'm looking to buy a diamond goby in a couple days and possibly another coral, but I'm not sure what to buy. Any suggestions would be nice. I attached a picture of my tank as it is. One of my leather corals' polyps have been closed up for 2 and a half days now. I am not sure whats going on with it.
That about sums it up. Thanks in advance for the info I'll be getting from these forums.
