Hi all!
My name is Lee, and I'm from Corpus Christi, Tx.
A few months ago i more or less inherited (long story) a 180 gallon salt water aquarium from a friend of mine. It had a canister filter, protein skimmer, custom hood with several kinds of lights attached, multiple powerheads, and a bunch of live rock.
Most everything survived the move (i've lost 2 fish since then....combination of no heater, and a petco fish bringing ick into the tank). I have 3 blue damsels, a foxface, a dragon goby, a cardinal, a cleaner shrimp, and some little guy my friend caught at the beach! As far as corals go, i have a flowerpot, a ton of asparagus coral (i think), a few featherdusters, a hammerhead, some mushroom polyps (i think), a mushroom coral (i think), a pulse coral, and either a frogspawn or a.....drawing a blank....long tentacle coral?
I did freshwater tanks for about 10 years and loved it, but had to leave the hobby when my family moved around a lot. too big of a hassle. i have never done salt water though. my friend was supposed to give me a quick rundown of how to take care of everything, but he ended up leaving town before he could really tell me much. i'm learning a lot from some books i bought, and research on the web. But i stumbled upon this forum yesterday, and it looks like a great resource. I have a few questions, and i'll check thru all the forums here. hopefully they've all been answered already. And thanks in advance for any advice I get from you guys!
