PH Marine Fish Tank Thread
Discussion
Thought I'd start this up and see if anyone else on PH keeps marine fish? I've got a medium sized tank with a Clown, Candy Wrasse, Chalk Goby, and Starfish. Other inverts are a Blue legged Hermit Crab, and some banded Trochus. There quite are also various small critters in there that I didn't put in there who must have stowed away on coral frags I bought.
So what have you got?

I used to keep a 400 Gallon Reef tank, bred seahorses, and kept a 500G or so fish only with puffers, lions and the odd moray... I've also kept the odd mantis.
Ok I think you win marine fish tops trumps, I've got a Clown Fish!Always thought about getting some sea horses ( the dwarf ones ).

I didn't mention the 6*2*2 FO, the 3ft tank with a frogfish nor the 2ft cube with copepods etc to feed the mandarins in the reef and the seahorses.........Always thought about getting some sea horses ( the dwarf ones ).
Sea Horses are fantastic to have - but they can be short lived and my goodness they are stupid - they just watch the food go past their noses........... Mind if you can get them onto frozen......

For sure, I, well.. the other half, made that error with the tropical tank. Cave home from a few days away and the three week old tank had about 20 fish in it. Only 4 or 5 survived.
Talking of other halves, not long after I had my first marine tank I got some inverts, to feed them I used to drop small bits of raw fish in as you do. One evening I came home to find the tank floor covered in a stange white lumpy mass. I started to franticly remove the stuff as fast as I could when the Mrs wandered in........she then fessed up that she'd dumped half an uneaten fish pie in the tank as she thought the shrimps might like it!
