I introduced myself to these forums yesterday. Thanks to all those who made me feel welcome.
Apart from a protein skimmer, I've got everything I want to get (to start, at least) for my aquarium. What is everyone's opinion on a good protein skimmer? My tank is 90 gallons, saltwater.
My snails are hanging in there. I've got a couple strange things living on my rock, which is fine by me. I'm getting more and more pods by the day.
So now the hardest part begins... letting a month or so go by to let everything evolve. I guess it's a good opportunity to talk about fish. I understand it's best to start with more passive fish first, and introduce the potentially more aggressive ones further down the road. So what are some examples of some passive fish?
Ideally, I don't want any fish that will get too big. The biggest I'd like to see a fish get is 6 inches. Having looked at the fish at my local fish store, there's a few that caught my eye. I don't think they're the type you'd introduce first however. That being said, I liked the Flame angel, Coral Beauty angel, and there was an 8-line wrasse that looked pretty cool too. Clowns of course, who doesn't like clowns? Oh, there was a grey tang, it's fins were orange - very cool looking fish! Anyways, is there a good site I can go to to just research fish?
So... the waiting game... ugh. It's gonna be tough. :)
