Hi everyone. Testing out this forum. I'm on a few other forums, but I have not found one "personal" enough to suit my taste. I'm still listening to the podcast backlog and enjoying every minute of it.
I've had fish tanks for years, but only first ventured to
SW last year. My 12G Aquapod Nano has been up since 11/07. All softies. So far so good. I upgraded the stock pump to a MJ-900 and added a second return w/ a Hydor-Flo on a MJ-606.
I've been keeping simple stuff:
True Perc
Peppermint shrimp
LARGE Emerald crab
Zoa's
Mushrooms
Xenia
GSPs
snails
hermits
(Picture is VERY OLD)
I just change my setup again this week. Upgraded to a 70W 14K
MH. I removed most of the ruble from the back of the tank and added a Remora Nano. The tank is still acclimating to the new light (via some egg-crate) and I have not gotten any skimmate from the
skimmer yet.
I'll add new pics as I take them..
My two N00B questions:
1. Where can I get good cheap water jugs? I tried MSC and Grainger but they want $50+!!
2. What should I be "feeding" my tank? I have marine snow, zooplex, phytoplex, and a LARGE assortment of frozen foods. I have been giving the tank a little of everything just because I don't know any better. I hand feed the fish, shrimp, and crab frozen foods. I also dump a piece of seaweed-on-a-clip twice a week.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
