Fish are surprisingly doing fine. I got scared here & there because every once in a while they would seem to almost shiver like they were having a seizure. Its still only a week that they've been in the tank so we'll see.
As for pics, I need to find the manual for my digi cam. I always let it...
2 days ago, started with the diatoms
today noticed little "bugs" on the glass, did some research and now I assume they're copepods.
I'm going to have to invest in a magnifying glass ::)
Well, I found a hitchiker in the live rock. Its a little crab. I tried taking pictures but can't get the lighting and focus right with my digi. I may end up needing to find my old 35mm.
Anyhow.... after doing some surfing, I see that hitchhikers are common and I may never know what kind it is,l...
lol oh, distance-wise. Well what I was more interested was their agrocrete rocks and grunge and stuff, not other stuff.
and i would LOVE to drive a lamborghini -- if i get a bigger reef tank can i make huge profits selling frags? breeding clownfish?
Has anyone had any experience with GARF (Geothermal Aquaculture Research Foundation)? I really like their site and would like to purchase their starter "stuff".

I explained to my dad (in my extremely limited way) about how the chemical process needs to go. Not sure he understood but he DID understand that the $50 he spent on the clownfish might be for nothing more than garden...
Ok, so i've learned two things....
1) No matter how much you research, you still feel like you don't know what you're doing when you set up a new reef tank and
2) Don't add up your receipts -- you don't really wanna know how much you paid (and how far you still have to go)
Well it's been 4...
Ok, to answer your questions....
I live in Mt Tabor -- a section of Parsippany in Morris County
I bought the tank A(All Glass 20 gallon rectangular - lost my paper with measurements) and equipment from Dover Pet Store in Dover. Hopefully I will be picking it up this Friday. With it is 2 65w...
I just want to say "hi" to everyone. I am in the process of starting my very first reef tank -- I don't even have the tank yet, its on order and should be in this Friday. It is only a 30 gallon, just to make sure I'm actually able to maintain life.
More to come (mostly questions), I'm sure :)...
