Avalanche Wolf's 100 Gallon Fish and Reef

[avalanche wolf]

I have been into fish for a long time. About 5 years ago I started with my first salt tank ( 25 Gallon Eclipse setup ) With a lot of trial and error and porclin funerals , I moved up to a 55 and due to moving had to go back to a 29 gallon setup with a cheap wet dry/Pot skimer ( pot skimmer never worked right).

We scored a huge 100 gallon tank for cheaper than dirt cheap and have moved everyone over to it. ( when you only have 2 clowns and a damsel , going from a 29 to 100 they get REALLY small !! )

Equipment is pretty basic still with the following

4 16" bulb system with 10k and 2 atinic bulbs
Fuval Canister filter underneath.
2 402 Powerheads ( one high and one low on other side of tank )
Tank heaters
Digital Therm
Master test Kit

Current Tank Contents
2 Peculal Clowns
1 yellow Damsel
10 - 15 LBS of live Rock
2" Crushed coral sand

( Pics are alittle dark with 3 bulbs being replaced tomorrow so only have 1 atinic working right now )

Was going to edit my post above but can't find the button to edit it.

My large power head died on me today but was able to find 2 smaller ones for the mean time.

Added my TruVU wetdry/protein skimmer and for once in its life the protein skimmer is working for once !! WOOT

Last night the longnose got a porclin burual. I know better than getting fish from Petco/Petsmart and once again I got burned.

Tomorrow i pick up about 75ls base rock from a guy in town for $20.00 SCORE ! should help fill the tank up a lot. Dave from next door runs a 55 reef tank and is going to bring some stuff over for me to borrow till i get the tank going good.

Got my master test kit out by missing the booklet. It is 8 years old so i should buy a new set anyways.

Gravity is a bit low need to buy some salt.

3 Green Chromis Damsels
4.20lbs Fiji Live rock

I had nemo for about 6 years , was on his side this morning. Didnt know you could really feel this way about a fish

Will always be remembered

When i went into the tank he would always swim right up to my hand hanging out with me and was never afraid of me. He was the first fish i owned that i was able to hand feed as well.

Got some new critter for the tank today.

3 of the little guys fell off in the bag but seem to still be really happy about their new home.
