Hey all.!.

I bought an acan lord a few months ago and it’s now, one of my fav corals.!. The color isn’t crazy but I love to see how plump it gets.

Top 5 favorite coral for me also!!

Just thought I would share my params 

These are for your tank?  What are you getting for just the salt mix?  Is this a new batch?  Never hurts to test new bathes of salt before changing water.

Recently I’ve come back and have started a nano.

Looks like the Gorgonian is doing well!

Yes it has been in the tank for two years wet the hole time. 

I’m interested, pm sent.  

Welcome back! Looks good Zach!  

Have any pictures? Been thinking of adding some fish.  

Hello,  have you kept the rock wet? 

@Parzifal marital bliss achieved!! Lol 

Tank 4,  5 gallon.  Just because I wanted to see how cheap and simple I could get.  

Tank 3, 40B (2019)  was supposed to be an upgrade for the 20 tall, but when I started putting in tester coral they would melt.  So left it alone as a fish only for awhile, 2 Bangai cardinals.  The Clownfish were added recently.  Still some growing pains but coming along nicely now.  
The kenya, toadstool and gorgonian were moved from my other tanks, they were getting to big. 
Still working out where to place coral, so most of the coral are still sitting on the bottom.  
First time seeing a clam was at Premium Aquarium in Salem. I fell in love and new I wanted one some day.  This little Maxima will hopefully grow and take up the space between the rock structures. So far so good!

I could never manage more than one saltwater tank.

 

With a low bio load, maintenance isn’t too bad. Top off, feed the fish add a few millimeters of Alk supplement.  

Looks great!  What did you use to glue the pieces together?  

Tank 2, started 1/1/2020  22 long AIO 

Tank 1, My first tank, 20gl Tall.  Will be 8 yrs in a couple weeks!  
mostly softies and a few LPS.  The Clown fish and Yuma mushrooms are original inhabitants.

Thank you! Ringo the Blenny has been a fish I’ve always wanted.  Great personality.

With that said, I hope y’all don’t mind if I come in with some questions about some of what’s changed in the hobby.  

I have a well also.  Can be a good thing or bad thing.  Water is the most important ingredient!  Good to hear your well is squared up and ready to go! 

I heard there is a support group and this is the place to go!! 😁

I see the advantages and disadvantages to going small vs large. 

 

Lots of research!  A reef tank can be complex or simple.  I prefer simple.  

My suggestion would be smaller tank first.  This hobby can be tough, has a  steep learning curve and most quit in the first year.  

If/when you decide this hobby is for you,  your smaller starter tank can still be used for a frag tank or quarantine tank.
