Hello, my name is michael and at the weekend I set up my first fish tank.

Posted Image

It Is 40 gallons. I borrowd two buckets of water from jason because I did not have enough. Jason gave me some lights but 1 went like this....It flickered, smoke, bang and fire :)

I want to keep in my fish tank is:

Gobies
fire fish
red spotted blenny
dunkens
marsrooms
shrimp

This is my skimmer...

Looking good michael...nice clean start

Is that skimmer not incredibly oversized? I stand to be corrected though...

What, a deltec 902 for 40 gallons? Think sump and skimmer combined!

Welcome to IR Michael, I take it the tank is linked to your dad's tank hence the skimmer as I recognise the skimmer and ozone beside it. :)

Hi Michael,

Welcome to the board ;)

Looking good and I like your list of fish and corals but you should also add an Acan to finish it...... I've got alot of nice ones so when you are up and running I'll give you a frag ;)

Michael, You're welcome. Just let me know when you are ready.

Jas, you do not have a new tank - you know what happens to boys that don't tell the truth ;)
