Hello all!
My name is Jazz, I'm new to marine aquariums! I've sort of jumped in with both feet though! I'm 24, married and work full time. My wife works part time. Now for the important bit!
I was tasked with babysitting my mate's tank while he was away for three weeks. It was just a matter of feeding every two days and topping up with fresh water if it dropped below a certain line he marked on the glass.
A few months later he wanted to upgrade and I wanted a tank, so I bought his from him. It's a Kent 94litre all in one thing. I apologise for my terminology I am yet to fully understand the differences in marine/reef/saltwater etc.
I now own this system, have done for about 6 weeks. It's got plenty of live rock and the following livestock from the first I bought to the most recent:
1 x Chromis (to make sure the system was safe)
1 x turbo snail
5 x Mexican hermit crabs
2 x clown fish (plec?)
1 x cleaner shrimp
1 x blood shrimp
1 x mithrax crab
1 x brown feather duster
1 x blue cheeked goby
1 x silver belly banana wrasse (just bought yesterday)
6 million bristle worms (approx.) hence the wrasse
Casualties which don't include the above are 2 turbo snails and one Mexican hermit which I'm suspicious about, I think I was sold just a shell...
I'll upload pics at some point, I'm using my phone now.
My question now is regarding feeding. I have flake, little ball things and frozen foods. How much how often?
My goby has recently started making the tank cloudy, do I get more turbo snails to get rid of the settled dust or are there any other options?
