Just inherited a bunch of animals


Cousin is moving to Texas from Florida. His wife has a 150 gal tank with a bunch of stuff (Several brittle stars, leather coral, some fish, a ton of rock (about 200 lb's.) I just introduced them to my 75 gal with VHO (2 Actinic and 2 Super Daylights). The tank is a flat tank with about 28 inches of water from the lights to the bottom. Running a Berlin Skimmer 24x7 with frequent cleanings with a 350GPH pump and a 10 or 15 gal wetdry. I have noticed the turbos dying and also one, or more brittles. It has been a little over 36 hours since the transplants. So far so good. My water is good, always has been. The fish seem very happy and have adjusted well. I need to feed 2x 1 inch clowns, a 1 inch damsel and a Royal Gramma. Also have a large leather coral?? and some polyps and a rock anenome??. also have 4 urchins in the tank. Trying to understand the feeding of these creatures without overloading the balance any more than I already have. But again, all seems pretty good. Thank goodness for the skimmer.

feed them forumula 2 flake, mysis, and pretty much everything you would feed your normal fish, as for the corals/anenome you dont really have to feed them but give the anenome silversides...that should make him happy and i dont feed my corals so i cant help you there...you are very lucky to get all that stuff, especially the rock...

I had 20x 1 gallon baggies with animals and the rock has mushrooms on it. She did nothing to keep the tank going except feed it. I am hoping that I can prevent too much loss of life in there. Wish me luck.

I took the rock but it was void of much life. Only some small feathers and a few polyps and some small sponges. Took all the non-rock animals.
