Reef Keeping

[kmatrixg]

Anyone here have a saltwater or reef tank?

Just started a 10 gallon nano reef (pictures coming) after spending 6 years mastering fresh water. Reef tanks are infinitely interesting and the expansion is neverending. I can't wait to see what this thing looks like in a year.

So far it's been up about a month, and I have 3 corals and a rock covered in mushrooms. Not positive what kind they are, but positive they aren't the popular ricordia.

-Also got a blue damsel from a friend, and just purchased a scooter blenny - by far one of the most interesting species of fish on the planet, part of the goby's/mandarins group.

Mobile invertebrae include 2 scarlet legged hermits, 5 electric blue hermits, 1 emerald crab and 1 peppermint shrimp.

I had 2 emeralds, however it got eaten by... some kind of rock monster.

Updated with pictures... Nobody here has a tank? Really?

Might be good to get those fish that love algae or the snails. Watch out with snails though, they can go nuts reproducing

Yeah I've got a nice algae bloom coming, should be blowing up soon with coraline and other stuff.. Snails are crazy and I'm not a fan really, I had an outbreak in my 55 gallon - literally thousands of snails all over the glass. Ridiculous.
