My man's cousin just upgraded to a larger saltwater tank, and is giving us his 30-g setup for free. Just when I set up my little 10g tropical project, more fish on the way. But we always wanted to start getting into saltwater; had no extra cash to do so, and l feel lucky. He is giving us "everything but the fish" but works at a local pet store and will point us in the right direction for some fish.
I guess the tank now holds a few fish, the coral and live rock, and a lot of algae Any suggestions? We might get it this weekend, or this week if not. I know we should keep the water from it (bring it home in buckets, right?) I am going to read-up more on this too, as I don't want to jump in without knowing anything; though I have a friend around the block that keeps and can help us out.. I am excited though!
All this, and we are also adopting a few gouramis, tetras, and algae eaters from another friend! (going in different tanks, heh.) I will be living in a pet store (minus the financial profit!) in no time.
