Greetings tankmates!

Hello! I am excited to begin the saltwater experience and return to fish-keeping. I last had a freshwater tank at 11 years old. Due to the childhood 'trauma' :-/ of losing my entire tank to a heater setting mistake after a water change back in '75, I have not had fish since then. My little catfish and neons and African frogs will forgive me now if I move on and try again with a bit more attention to detail .

Petco snared me with their cheap tank sale (got a long 20 gal and 40 gal breeder). About $750 bucks later with various online merchants :-X I am beginning to cycle the 20 gal with 40 pounds of CaribSea live sand and about 60 pounds of dry Fiji rock.

I am planning a peaceful tank with a Starry Blenny, and the symbiotic pairing of a watchman goby with a banded pistol shrimp. Will first add maybe three 1" porcelain crabs, a few electric blue hermits and some snails.

Beyond that I don't know yet!
Suggestions welcome and peace out!

 

Welcome to 3reef, sounds like a nice initial set up.
