Grrrrrrr website just ate my original posting.....
OK real short this time.
Tank is set and up and running with all of my 37 gallon stock of live rock, a few shrooms, yellow polyps, toadstool. No fish, no hermits, no snails. The kids want 'NEMOs".
Please suggest hardy livestock we have $150 at Gerbers, Aquatic Specialist will donate corals, Coral Ranch donating corals and 'items'. For fish suggest hardy, flashy, out in front, low food consumers, that can be left alone for at least 3 days.
Please review the below list of items still needed. No fuge yet, tank has hang on skimmer, Rena heater, 305 Fluval, 1400 Koralia, 1200 Maxi, 36" PC light, 2 power strips, 1 electronic timer.
I really need some salt as I am using mine right now.....
If you want to see the tank please contact me with a date and time and I will arrange it.
Brian and Mike, I would like to meet with you to discuss maintenance as we are the closest, anyone else close to Bethel is also more than welcome.
I wanted to get the tank set, used my rock, some seed sand from 37 with Mikes sand, 1/2 my old water. Hopefully if there is a cycle it will be small. Most likely we will get a cleanup crew from Gerbers, or beg some from Aquatic Spec, or Coral Ranch.
Any input/suggestions are much appreciated. If we don't get a sump donated, I will build a 20 this weekend, I have the dividers already cut, just need to assemble. If you have a relationship with an owner of a LFS please coordinate with them and keep me in the loop.
