My Very First Tank...

[zurc]

hi,

just wanted to share my setup...

tank: 60cm x 22cm x 33cm (unfortunately, this is what my available space allows me to have)

filter: eheim 2211 with eheim substrate pro, rena filstar 1 (not yet in the picture)

air pump: rena 100 (i love this... it's soooo quiet...)

light: 30W fluorescent blue light (i'm starting to think this one's not good enough...)

sand: coral sand on top (around 4kg) and a crushed coral at the bottom (around 2.5kg)

residents:

4lbs of live rock with two leather corals

1 clownfish (i find this guy easy to feed... chomps on any food i drop off the water)

1 coral beauty angel ( a little picky on the food... but appetite still ok)

1 yellow-tail wrasse (i'm a bit concerned about this guy... i forgot everything i read when we went out to buy fish...)

future additions to this tank would be more includes live corals by this week... so that my damsels in quarantine will have a place of their own when they get transferred over...

feel free to suggest that will beautify our tiny ocean...

thanks,

zurc

Welcome to SRC.. hope to see more updates from u soon

Welcome to the club bro!!!

Nice little setup... em... u mentioned Damsels? What kinda Damsels? How many? Coz Damsels can get quite territorial in a small tank, so you may find them annoying once they accustomed to the new tank... but since your tank is quite small, catching them out later will not have a problem.

General rule: It's easy to add in fish... damn hard to retrieve them especially once your tank is established with corals and all

i've got two damsels... one is the usual blue damselfish and the other a blue velvet damselfish (the color is almost black with 3 stripes...)

actually we wanted a flame angel at first... but the shop where we saw it was selling it a a very high price (S$95)... then we saw this quite unique-looking fish (we didn't know it was a coral beauty at that time) in the other shop we visited and it was quite cheap (S$5).

Flame for $95?!? Lucky you didn't buy... way way too expensive... if you 2 damsels still not inside your main tank... you may consider giving it away

damsel... i think the best would be not to have em. when they find a place to settle down. they will be territoral.

yup...95... wait 'till you hear nemo's price tag... a whopping S$90! and clams were going in for S$150... but the guy was boasting that their clowns were australian and that partially contributes to the price... well anyway, another shop was selling clowns at S$3... but judging from the shop's look, they're probably catering mostly to malls...
