Hello everyone,
Long time freshwater, n00b to saltwater.
I currently have a 29 gallon freshwater cichlid tank that's been established and running (relatively) maint free for years.
I've just changed my 55 gallon oscar tank to a saltwater tank.
About 2 weeks ago, I filled the tank with salty goodness, threw in 40 lbs of 'live' substrate, 35 lbs of previously live rock, and 40 lbs of currently live rock. I also bought a $.99 hermit crab who'se about 2 inches across his shell.
Anyway, the tank set for a few weeks, the hermit crab loving the space, and then 3 days ago I bought 2 damsels and stuck in there. Those guys are loving it. Swimming constantly, trying to eat anything they can find. I also got a few crabs and snails to stick in there, and am currently considering a clown.
Right now, my tank has a 35w flourescent bulb that's been in there for about 5 years, so coral isn't necessarily an option, but in the near future, I'll probably change that. I'm a DIY kind of guy for most things.
Just wanted to say hi. Oh, I'm located in 'central' jersey, in the Princeton area....well, actually 1/2 way between Princeton and New Brunswick...but we get the luxury of paying the Princetonian taxes.
