oops! and my clean up crew, i.e. hermits, emerald crab, snails..

I know my damsel was my first fish in my original 8 gallon cube, before I decided to return him for a clown, took me nearly 30 minutes to catch him in my cube!! when I moved my clown into my 20 gallon I caught him with my hand cause he so tame

Did you get your tank this weekend????:biggrin:

My hand up to the elbow trying to catch my wallet while it sank to the bottom. :lol:

I started up with one blue damsel and a clean up crew of half a dozen snails and hermits.
I went a little crazy on corals frags on start up and now that my tank is thriving the corals are completely covering all of the LR.
I picked up a Pom Pom Xenia and a Pulsing Xenia both. They are beautiful but they spread like the plague.

My regrets....
The blue damsel is a huge bully and he seems to get worse as he gets older.
All of the corals are doing great but the tank is starting to look crowded. Next time I will pick and choose the corals more carefully and grow out large colonies of each.
I will never again have any Xenia in my SW tanks...or any other similar coral.

I don't remember the first thing I put in but my biggest regret was a piece of live rock with some colt coral on it. Wouldn't wish that crap on my worst enemy!

Colt coral is my plague. It just keeps fragging itsef and spreading all over. I got the xenia to stay put in one rock and has never spread beyond that.

LOL Greg! Best one yet!



My first fish was a cinnamon clown, added over 8 years ago... I still have him(now a her!) :mrgreen:

Hahahahah sad and soooo true!

First thing in my new tank were hermits and snails and an emerald crab soon se shrimp then my fish
