Jules' 4ft Newbie tank

julescity · October 7, 2007

After so much agro for the last 4 months, yes since June this year, from an original idea of a planted aro tank, I took a huge risk (and investment) to change my idea to marine. What you've got here is a sparsely populated marine environment, after 2 months of cycling (since mid aug)

Here are my tank and equip specs

1. 4x2.5x2.5 (built in cabi/chengal wood) + 2.5x1.5x1.5 sump

2. geismann t5s 59w x 4

3. 1/4hp artica

4. asm g5 skimmer

Livestock

1. 1 ordinary clown

2. 1 algae blenny

3. 1 zebra goby

4. 2 x maroon clown (mated pair - damn fierce - may wanna give up for adopt)

5. 1 damsel

6. 1 purple leather; 1 yellow leather

7. 1 bubble (its eating prawns!)

8. few rocks with mushrooms (green and browns)

9. 1 corcea clam (3")

10. 1 batch of sun coral

11. 1 hammer

12. 1 octopus coral

13. 1 Jewel

14. couple frags of sps (identify?)

15 something else (zoas i think)

I got started with the help of many reefers here, their advice, their freebies given to me when i bought livestock (yep, except for blenny n clown, everything else is bought from reefers)

got these from william muk. thanks william - can't seem to make it flourish like it did in your tank. how?? the red one's (what is it called again?) is near my return flow and near the surface while the green/whiteish one is a bit further away. I don't think they are dead as can still see mucous from it.
