tonymarcus1117 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi all I'm new to saltwater and new to the forum I have a 36 gal. bowfront about 3" of substrate, 40 lbs. of l.r. marineland hob filter, eshopps hob skimmer, and compact flourescents. in the tank I have 2 maroon clowns, a coral beauty, a marbled blenny, and a very small niger trigger, also some fox coral, starburst zoas, and green tip branching hammer coral. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I am already on the lookout for a larger tank this is really addicting ! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtrident Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Welcome Tony! Should be fairly easy to find a bigger tank, I am still cycling my bigger tank now. Can't wait to see pics of yours. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 First off- Welcome! Secondly- Watch your water parameters you are pushing the bioload of a 35g tank w/ that many fish. Start looking thru the classified section for tank/equip. for your upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePremiumAquarium Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Welcome to the addiction!!! Sounds like you have started much the way many of us did What are your plans for your upgrade? How large, equipment plans? Going to run Halides, T-5's, CF's, LED's, Plasma, Combo? Just remember that the bigger the better in terms of both stability, ease of care, and what you can put in it. Get the right equipment the first time so that you don't have to spend tons later. Do lots of research. This is a great community and will be super helpful for you, welcome!!! Now I wanna see pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
