Hi!
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Sara and I recently got into saltwater tanks. I started with a 20 gallon in Jan. '08 and then quickly upgraded to a 125 gallon reef and 54 gallon FOWLR. After a few bouts of algae and ich in the 125, I've finally gotten things under control. I QT everything now since I lost almost all of my fish to ich and kept the main tank fishless for 7 weeks.
The reef tank has several sps's, a frogspawn, acan, favia, maze brains, candy cane, duncans, zoanthids, a corky finger gorgonia, and a big RBTA. I went kind of coral crazy. So far there are a pair of skunk cleaner shrimp, orange linka starfish, a strawberry crab, a pair of perculas, a bullet goby, neon goby, green mandarin, and orange shoulder tang in the tank.
The 54 gallon is a little bit more crowded with a talbot damsel, spotted mandarin, bicolor angel, redheaded fairy wrasse, a pair of clarkii clowns, and a convict tang that I'm going to put into dad's tank when he gets bigger.
I got interested in saltwater tanks when I took invertebrate zoology at UF. I saw the university's reef tank and fell in love. I'm actually helping maintain that tank and a few others now too.
Ok time for pictures!
