ThePremiumAquarium Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Welcome to the club! If you have a chance to get up to Salem, I have a ton of stuff at the shop that would probably interest you. Pretty much everything on your list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelhead77 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 First of all, Welcome! Second of all, in order to know what kind of critters you need at this point, please tell us a little about your tank. You say that the first one failed. Do you know why it failed? Have you fixed whatever went wrong the first time? A lot of us are more than willing to help you stock your tank, in fact, I'm in Albany and I have a ton of easy corals to help get you started, (and even an anemone when your tank is able to support it), but I think we need to know a little more first. What size tank? How long has it been running? Are the params stable? How much live rock? What kind of filtration. What kind of lighting? The more info you can give the better. Let us know a little bit more and we will be better able to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberlee Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 +1 need to know a little about the tank. Also if you do head to Salem I have some blue sea foam zoos and some Xenia I could frag for you. Both are hardy and would be good starters. Free of course, and Garrett has a great store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffy340 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 What do the blue sea foam zoos look like? I've run a search for them, but not bringing any pics up for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later down the road when a club member is getting started you have to kick something their way, even if it's a frag of the blue sea foams. Pass it a long, and share the love.

g81 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 The first tank was a 55 gallon corner tank bad lights better for fresh water i was unabkle to keep anything but fish. and green hair alge.. the new tank is a 55 gallon 30 gallon sump with live rock 1 50/50 96watt 1 actinic 96watt 1 250watt halide hangon skimmer that seems to work when it wants to. two cansiter filter together rated above 150 gallons tank is not drilled have a custom made overflow box to sump. tank has been up for 2 months i got a green bubble anenome from a buddy its been over a week its still alive. at night it shrivles up during the day it blooms fully. ate twice already (frozen krill) i have 2 clowns 2 yellow fin damsles 2 zebra damsles 1 emerald crab somplace in the tank. 2 HUGE engineer gobys and a feather duster thats still alive. water evaporates about 10 gallons a week roughly... i try to do a 5 gallon water change a week plus topping off. i also have est 80lbs of rock used to be alive never left water but nothing is growing on it. but green hair alge tank has a hood so alot of heat stays in tank, but i added a clip on fan in rear to keep heat down. i also have sugar sand. about 3-4 inches in front and none in rear the ingineers did not like the way i set the tnak up so they changed it for me. hope this info is helpfull. ill try to get some pics asap. let me know if you need to know anything else. thanks john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
