New 30g Tank!!!

[Kakalakasha]

It's official!
I found a great deal on Craigslist for this setup, and decided against getting the 75g.

For $180 I got the tank, stand, 35lbs of LR, 30lbs of sand, a maxi-jet 1200, a magnetic algae cleaner, 2 things of frozen food, overflow, sump, return pump, and a 150w MH pendant!
And a Saddleback clown and a yellow tank, I know, right?
The kids tank was nice, but when I saw the yellow tang I flipped.
I got so sad, all he kept saying was how it hid in the corners all the time...
This transfer of tanks happened at 8:00 at night and I had no choice but to bring the tang home with me and put it in the 30g tank.
The next morning he was dead. :/
He had fragged and sold all of his coral, but I found a few single zoa polpys on some of the rocks.
There are a lot of pineapple sponges and a load of little white tubes which I'm guessing are tube worms or something.
There's some coralline, too.



Pictures!

Stinks about the tang . Nice tank though, with a 150w pendant you can turn it into a really nice tank!

Thank you! I like it a lot.
It seems so much more then a 10g upgrade.
I guess the only change in dimensions between my 20 and my 30 is height.
It's still 30" long and 12" wide.

Thanks, and that's what I plan on doing!
Can't wait to get a nice frogspawn right smackdab in the middle of the tank, infront of my little arch.

Nice find, I shudder to think what I have in my 30 buying everything new.

Yeah, I've been searching craigslist daily for about the last 4 months.
after 160 days, it finally paid off.
How many fish do you have in yours?

I have a couple occelaris clowns in atm. I have a YWG and shrimp in my 10 that I plan to eventually put in the 30, its just on hold. I want to drill the tank, which will require emptying it... so I figure the less stuff in there the better.
