I'M NEW AT SALTWATER, BUT I'VE HAD THIS TANK GOING STRONG FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS. HOWEVER IT WASN'T ALWAYS SO MUCH FUN. WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE TANK AFTER ABOUT A MONTH THE TANK CRASHED. I LOST EVERYTHING...FISH AND LIVE ROCK. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF GETTING THE CULTURAL LIVE ROCK FROM FLORIDA. THEN RESTARTED FRESH AGAIN FIGI LIVE ROCK,NEW STARTER FISH. FOR ABOUT A MONTH EVERYTHING WAS OKAY,THEN HAIR ALGAE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE BALAST FOR THE BLUE LIGHT WENT OUT. COULDN'T FIND A BALAST TO REPLACE IT :wall: SO WE UPGRADED TO A METAL HALIDE .STARTED WATER CHANGE TO TWICE A WEEK. NOW IT IS FUN TO HAVE SW TANK THIS SMALL. I WAS ABOUT TO THROW IN THE TOWEL. AFTER ALL THE PROBLEMS BUT PERSISTANT PAID OFF:headbang2: . HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES.. 1TRUE CLOWN, BLUE CROMIE, 1 BURDUNE FANG BLENNY. ABOUT 12 POUNDS OF ROCK.
