Hi guys, thanks for the compliments. I started to post here, but then decided to moved it to the LPS forum. You can follow it there, I've posted a lot more pix there. Well, most of you are wondering where's the fishes. I started out buying a tank just for fish only. I fell in love with saltwater after that darn Nemo movie came out. I was more of a fresh water guy before this. So I didn't know what I was doing when I decided to drop 1000 on a tank.

I was told to let the tank sit for a month before getting fishes. Well, I didn't know about the cycling phase. After having an empty tank for two weeks, I got some damsels as I was told, then within a month, I went out and bought every fish I can get my hands on. Well, let's just say, if you name the fish, I would probably tell you that I've flushed a few or most of them during my 4 months of learning. Then I got on this site. If you follow the thread below, you will notice that I have quite a nice collection of Acans, so, the fishes are not too good for these guys. I tore down my tank twice to catch the Damsels, Yellow, Purple and Blue tang. I tore down my tank to get the lemonpeel. After a while, I figured I'm too tired to be doing this. So, now I have a pair of clowns and 1 anthias. I've lost quite a lot of fishes over the years. But since the tank is stable now, I don't like to put any fish in that would disturb my corals. Plus, I feed a lot, so not having much fish to grab the food from the acan is a major plus.

Your tank look very nice. It takes a lot of work to get to where you like it. How big is the tank? Where are you in Orange County?

[vpham24]

Bugs, the tank is a 150g, this is my 3rd one. Started out with an 80g fish only tank, then you know what happen when you get into saltwater tank. I'm in westminster. You can follow more of this thread here.

Yeah! I know what you mean. We all started out with a smaller tank. In no time, we ended up with a bigger tank. I am also in Westminster. I would like to come by and take a look at your tank sometime.
