Hello!
I am new to this site and to reefing. I met OceansX and a few other members (I didn't get their names, but very nice and helpful reefers!) at FJW the other weekend. They invited me to this site.
Recently, I purchased a used AIO from Craigslist. It's a Fluval 13.5 gallon... that really has 12 gallons excluding the sump area... I noticed a few people on this and other forums have/had one.
While fish are nice, I LOVE looking at beautiful, gorgeous corals. I guess that works out with my small tank, because I will only have two small fish and select soft and LPS corals.
Current stock (with history):
2 trochus snail- purchased 1 week ago
2 porcelain crabs- hitchhikers on the live rock I bought w/ the tank
1 anemone- came on the live rock I purchased w/ the tank... what kind? I have been told a rock anemone, but it doesn't look anything like the pictures I see...
1 GSP frag- a MARSH person convinced me to get a coral last weekend... this fell about midway on my list. I hope it is a good boy.
1 mushroom frag- I don't know what kind. Impulse buy.
1 Ruby Red Dragonet- I know, I KNOW! I am more than happy to explain my poor choice of fish if someone asks...
Past stock:
1 cerith snail; died a few days ago- hitchhiker with live rock I bought with tank
pH is sitting at 8.0 consistently, I would like to raise it
nitrates sitting at 20 consistently, I would like to lower them
I am excited to be reefing!
