BMW1600 June 14, 2012 June 14, 2012 At the urging of the Quantum Reefs guys I figured I'd make a post I stopped by there last weekend and stocked up some more. We were given a 55 gallon corner tank a couple of months ago - complete, running system. The POs had hired someone to advise them/care of it and the guy just didn't know what he was doing, apparently, and they got sick of stuff dying. I changed the substrate, re-arranged some things, adjusted some things, etc. and I think I have a handle on it now. I have made some mistakes and lost some fish (put them in too early) and an anemone (h. crispa, stressed out from Petco, I let the temperature get too high for a couple days and he never got over it) but my corals are doing great Right now for fishies all I have is a cardinalfish and a chromis. I want to get a couple more clowns (I lost my first two :() and an anemone. I have bought most of my frags from Aquatic Obsession/Cozy Clownfish since they are just down the road from me. My kids and I really enjoy popping in. Some random pics. These are from my phone so they are nothing special. Cheers, Dave Manassas
Quantum Reefs June 14, 2012 June 14, 2012 Welcome Dave. Thanks for stopping by and chatting with us last weekend. It was a pleasure to meet you. Urging sounds like such a forceful word . I think the better word to use would be advised . Pics look great and your well on your way. You'll find that there are lots of folks in the Manassas\Gainesville area that are very helpful. Looking forward to seeing the progression of your tank... and eventual upgrade to a larger one

Thanks for the extra line and valve, too, I was able to figure it out and drip acclimate everything a lot easier.
