Greeting to all!
I am new to this forum and somewhat new to tanks as well. My interest started about 5-6 years back to start a saltwater tank. This led me to begin working with the LFS. After both looking at the start-up cost and reading about the investment in time, I simply decided that I was not ready to take a “plunge” into the hobby. While the idea still remained in my head it wasn’t until a recent chance visit to a different LFS that I decided to move forward. This was back in January. I now have a 75 gal saltwater reef tank. Since that time I have added “some” livestock, LPS and softies.
Present List
• Pair B&W ocellaris clownfish
• Blue spotted watchman goby w/ companion pistol shrimp
• Dwarf flame anglefish
• Exquisite wrasse
• Scott’s fairy wrasse
• Yellow fin fairy wrasse
• Algae blenny
• Midas blenny
• Fire shrimp
• Cleaner shrimp
• Serpent sea star
• Sand shifting star
• Pink sea star
• Feather dusters (2)
• Coco worms (3)
• Red brain
• Green bubble tip anemone
• Clams (2)
Lost
• Blue spotted jaw fish (2), my favorite, this one hurt.
• The first male B&W clown
• Purple fire fish (I think the watchman is to blame)
I stumbled upon the forum a few days ago and have already learned a lot. I am still new to the hobby but hopefully I can contribute as I gain experience.
I have been working exclusively with Jay’s Aquatics. If it wasn’t for Jay, I probably would still be thinking about the idea of having a tank.
Regards,
NHman
