New Member, new interest, just saying hi and what i got

Hey Guys/gals,

Just wanted to say hey, and let u know a little about me. Just getting into salt water tanks and have decided to get into it and learn alot about reef tank. I have a 29gal tank with a eheim classic250 canister filter, 550gph power head, a glo 24" balast with blue and white light t5 HO.

I had my tank set up with sand and water with no live rock for 4-5 days and just got live rock two days ago. when i went to get the rock person selling it was shutting down his tank to move to the states and he gave me 5 corals.

He gave me a nice big chalice about 4-5", a torch coral, a chili coral, a hammer coral, and a bubble coral, along with some mushrooms. Unfortunately my rock has some fire worms in my tank and i woke up this morning after feeding my coral last night to notice one of the heads of the torch coral is half plucked out.

I am going to be trying to make a trap along with getting a coral banded shrimp.

I also have some fuzzy purple growing on my live rock. Talking to a local i was told to turkey baster it off, and that is what i intend to do. I will add pictures soon, i'm still new to forums so it may take me a little.

Any information will go a long way with me, as i am very eager to learn.
Thanks in advance for any help.

still need to figure out how to upload pictures

Use photobucket and copy the IMG code into the post. That's the best way since canreef gives such small space for pics

thanks will do that now

If you choose the IMG code, you can imbed the pics directly...

I also have a couple questions about somethings in my tank.

what type of snail is this? was told barnicle
