New girl's 90L nano

[tina.ferrari]

Hiii all

My names Tina and I'm fairly new to this stuff. I have always wanted a marine tank for as long as I can remember. I thought we can all agree, they are absolutely stunning. I have had fish tanks in the past but I wouldn't call myself an absolute "expert". I held off on the marine tank till I'd learn more. 5 months ago, my partner bought me a nano reef as a present. Aside from a hair algae bloom, everything was going great till my tank cracked a couple of days ago
Luckily my LFS stayed open for me till i could get there. Ended up getting an aquaOne 90L nano reef.
I joined this forum to improve my knowledge base as i still need and want to learn more and i have sooo many questions!

I wont write up tank and equipment specifics just now.

Stock:

2 very small clowns
1 coral banded shrimp
1 stromb snail
1 trochus snail

Just saw a clam that must of hitchiked on the live rock. Still yet to identify.

Just live rock in there for now. Will add some corals when i can. Again, i need to learn more.

Looking forward to becoming an expert in this hobby :P
Cheers

(Will add a couple of photos)

(Using this as my personal journal so I can keep ttack on things). Noticed a couple of aeptasia in the tank. Thinking about putting a peppermint shrimp but may be difficult because of the coral banded shrimp. Will as LFS when I can get there. Skimmer not producing much skimmat even though neck in collection cup is dirty. Skimmer works differently after I clean it even though i dont touch adjustments. Bubbles heavily die down. Started producing less skimmate after first rinse of collection cup.

Hi Tina, if you go to your photobucket picture and copy the img location by clicking in the box:


Than paste it in and it should look something like this:

Code: Select all

Then just paste each picture on a new line and you'll be away.

Got a sea urchin today. Looks like a purple urchin? To help with algae on glass. No other issues in tank
