Thanks! No questions today....lol. I try to read first then ask...find some forums have same questions asked over and over so will try to avoid this! But will ask if it's allowed, good lfs in Calgary? I've been to all of them and good and not so great...bought some pretty pricey corals, hoping to find something more reasonable, big ones are stressful!!

Well, right now I love this hobby, I've taken over the tank...lol so here goes...
55 gl, 59 lbs rock-started with 20 lbs lr, added 10.5 and 29.5 dry rock 2 weeks ago, skimmer, tunzal filter (no sump yet), vortech mp 10 and 40, koralia 750. Livestock-1 of each bangaii cardinal, purple dotty back,blue green chromis and yellow tang(yes I know about the tang got him for algae), had a false percent clown but he jumped on sept long weekend. Have a lrg frogspawn, green bubble, button, fox and pink goniopora coral. I liked the goniopora but read about it after so I'm worried, but so far is doing well. Tank parameters are salinity 1.026. Ph 8.3, calcium 460, kh 8, phosphate 0.25, nitrate 0. Lights - 2 t5s and LEDs. I think the phosphates are up due to live rock, coraline algae is showing up, dry rock is flourescent yellow green right now. Oh nd great clean up crew and unknown red crab, not sure what it is, no one has been able to I'd yet. I will post pics later. Thoughts? Thanks

Oh my the "T" word in a 55G
 Better watch out who you tell that to there are a lot of expressive individuals who like to decide whats right and whats wrong. Welcome to Canreef! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask on the board (or pm). This site has lots of questions beat to death, but its still alright to ask them. This site is about people helping people in this very beautiful and rewarding hobby. As for the gonipora I had good sucess with reef roids, but many of them only last a year in captivity (some last much much longer though, so cross your fingers) Last edited by Wayne; 09-16-2011 at 03:23 AM.

I know, I've already heard from the tang police and know I will have to find him a new home eventually, he's awesome though, cheecky guy! I've just come through a rough patch with the tank and I'm by no means willing or meaning to stress or harm anything! Unfortunatley, we jumped in without much research, have made all the newbie mistakes but we've learned. I definitely appreciate all feedback, good and bad! Looking forward to chatting and meeting others, I don't know anyone with a sw tank so we've been on our own here. Like 2 lfs here, really helpful!
