Hey All~
I'm new to this board but not to saltwater keeping. I had to vote other too, as one of my tanks is a semi-reef with a few corals and the other one is still cycling but will house a chocolate chip starfish and I haven't decided what else yet!
The first tank is a 55g that has been running for 3 years. DSB, about 60lbs of LR. Corals are few and are placed high up in the rockwork as I only have 220w of PC's on this tank. Most corals are various mushrooms including ricordia, some button polyps and porities coral. Inverts include turbo and astrea snails, a brown cuke, queen conch, olive snail, several large featherdusters, numerous small ones, blue-legged hermit crabs, also one unknown crab. Fish include yellow tang, ocellaris clown, blue damsel, black dartfish and a mandarin.
The other tank is a 20g with regular NO lights (50/50), crushed coral and some large shells. Also has maybe 8lbs of LR. This tank will have the starfish but my mind keeps changing on what else to put in there. Maybe a skunk cleaner shrimp, maybe an urchin. As far as fish, I'm leaning towards either 2 green chromis or maybe a royal gramma with a 3 stripe damsel. Or maybe a single orchid dottyback (I will have to rethink the shrimp if I go with the dotty)........hmmmm........
