I feel intimitated just throwing this out there for some reason but I really do want to be successful with my tank and it's inhabitants. I also need to spend my $ very wisely so in order to accept help from all you great folks, here goes. I'll add as I figure things out. I've had this setup with fish and rock since January but got it all off ebay and so some of it is just used because that's what it came with.
55g
maybe 3"
crushed coral substrate (vacuum out weekly w/WC)
maybe 60 - 70 lbs live rock?
130 watts actinic and 130 watts 10,000k coralife bulbs
protein skimmer was junk, just took it off last night
one power head but am thinking of more for my zoo's
HOB filter with carbon packs in it (used to have a bio wheel but I removed it)
coralife salt....1.024 right now slowly working toward 1.025 with my top offs which I do each morning with RO/DI water
Livestock:
electric blue damsel (my first fish and he hasn't done anything wrong yet..besides, can't catch him)
2 clownfish
lawnmower blennie
scooter blennie
10 astria snails
cleaner shrimp (although haven't seen him for a while)
3 blue legged crabs, very small
4 zoo's frags
1 green star polyp frag
ricordea
