dling Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Yeah I really wanted to do it, I had all the salt, coral, pumps, tank, stand, etc brand new. I paid about $250 for the whole setup at a company that was going out of business. I was still living at home and didn't want to move it and stuff, so I ended up just selling the stuff. I was going to put live rock in it, two clowns, and a few other fish that I forget now... I might try again someday, when I have a bigger place.. I hope you do,its a great hobby. $$$$$ Yeah, I had mainly softies (mushrooms, polyps and xenia) but just recently picked up some SPS frags...lol it never ends Good luck with the sps. Thats what I'm into now, trying to get them to grow and show some good polyp extension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j2t Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Good luck with the sps. Thats what I'm into now, trying to get them to grow and show some good polyp extension. I haven't done any dosing to this point, but I have a feeling with the SPS I will have to start a schedule. It was hard to pass up 4 frags of SPS for $15 though, and give it a try.

I dose B-Ionic part 1&2 plus Magnesium every other day . I going to do a test for cal,alk and mag every day this week to see how much of each is being used so I can get a better idea of how much to dose to maintain a stable environment . A bit late in posting. But it is very cool dude! Never to late for something good Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dling Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 To day I'm going to frag/fragment my dunkin coral .I will use a dremel tool and disk to cut it into three sections. Then I can tread to LFS/local fish store for some goodies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dling Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 This is the coral I'm speeking of. I did this last weekend and plan on doing it again two more times. One of the pics is just after the cutting, the others are from today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dling Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) A smaller aquarium might work for my sister Yeah, I love the addition of coral. They make everything in there seem more natural. I would start with a 10 to 15 gal with fish only first. Corals require special needs and it can get expensive. Take your sister to a local fish and show her some of the saltwater fish you could have in either of those little tanks.That will help to win her over. I recommend you to find a forum like you did here to get the Q and A's on what you decide. I like the http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/ lots of small tank info and great folks.
