[Demm]

well i started my saltwater tank several months ago now. here's a pic of what the tank looks like right now. not adding to much to it right now because i am moving in 2 months, and i dont want to get anythign that wouldnt make it thru the move.

-pincushion urchin
-sailfin blenny
-emporer cardinal
-caribean zebra hermit
-condy anemone

-maxi jet 1200 powerhead
-seaclone 100 skimmer
-aquaclear filter with carbon, phosphate remover
-50/50 lighting

gonna be adding alot more live rock soon, and a couple of clownfish after the move.

Looks awesome. What kind of live rock are you aiming for to put in there?

is that nem getting enough light?

well i am using a 20watt 50/50 light right now. yea i know i could do alot better (29 gal tank) and will soon. i've had the condy for several weeks now and it has been doing great. it planted itself where it has right now and has been there every since. it's eating fine, it's full of color. so for now i'm assuming that its happy.

as for the live right i'm not sure. i have a couple of regular live rock (whatever that is, the normal $5/lb) then the rest is fiji live rock. i'm not really looking for a certain kinda, i'm more looking for the shape so i can kinda put together a "puzzle" of what i want. gonna be stacking some after the move.

are you only using a 20 watt light. wooowwww and the nem is doing ok lucky
how long have you had it for again and how much was it

 

[Demm]

i read that condy's dont need alot of light. the guy at the fish store said it was ok with that light at a minimum. it was only 10 dollars. i've had it for close to a month now.

only 10 dollars but an important part to the environment and a life none the less. Its good that it looks healthy (i think it looks healthy, i dont know what healthy is besides the obvious bleach and guts everywhere) but most lfs (not all) just want you to buy stuff and dont really care about how healthy the thing will be. Maybe your lfs is different but i have like 20 lfs/lps near me and only 2 care about the fish, and sometimes there are exceptions of "caring about the fish"
