First Saltwater Tank

[MarkoD]

check out what i just found..... looked at my tank and saw a rock moving across the sand.... upon a closer look.... a hermit crab somehow survived the move

Looking good those blue damsels are mean little buggers and will terorize most new tank members they are completely fearless once established. Not sure how the cichlid food would work out I wouldn't do it unless I had for sure confirmation it was ok for your fish cheers

I've fed it for years, no problems with it. Krill is a large ingredient in it.

When i seen your thread on 780 i thought they were both FW, glad to see your in the SW hobby now! Tanks lookin sharp!

I like the aquascaping job The damsels can be a little aggressive so becareful of what else you put into the tank. I would check at night time your collection of copepods before you get a scooter blenny. They are said to eat mysis, like mine did in the store. As soon as he hit my tank he has never once touched any type of food I have ever fed.

heres an update

added a piece of dry coral to the middle. its nice and thin and filled the middle spot nicely


went to LFS and they told me a good beginner coral would be a frogspawn.
so i bought a small one to try it out.
i put the little rock it was on just under the sand.... is this ok or does it need to be moved onto the liverock? it does get current at the bottom (the little things move around)


also got a fluval G6 to replace the emperor 400 HOB filter.
any suggestions for bio media that i should use?
