Hi all! I'm new - kind of. *lol* I registered on here a couple years ago, and never posted. Shame shame...
Anyway, after a few years of dabbling in semi-reef tanks keeping just some softies, and a few inverts, and fish I gave up. I killed everything, and no one seemed to be able to help me out. So I spent a few years reading, and reading, and reading some more. So I *think* I can try again!
Here's the plan:
HARDWARE:
33 g (If I find something bigger before I fill this up with water, then I'll buy it!!)
SKIMMERLESS! (for now, until my bioload gets too big)
Bare or SSB
2x36w T5 (have a 250w halide sitting around I might use)
2 - MaxiJet 1200
Reef Crystals salt - might change to IO sine it's cheaper
Have API test kits mostly, a couple sucky Hagens
ANIMALS/PLANTS:
30 lbs dry base rock
15 lbs LR
Softies
LPS
Pair of True Percs
Blue Mandarin (if I can find one that eats prepared foods)
A clam maybe
A tube anemone maybe
The usual clean-up crew...maybe a bit more heavy duty than usual as no skimmer
