Well, the swap is complete... Over the weekend my friend delivered some new inhabitants for Surfquarium in exchange for all of the Xenia and Mushrooms I've been exporting to his tank. I've been wanting to try more scleractinians (stony corals) in Surfquarium, but didn't want to spend money on things I'm not sure will do well. Apparently some of the frags I received weren't doing as well as hoped in my friends tanks, so we both agreed to try them in Surfquarium, where at least we know that Xenia and Corallimorpharia do well. As a result Surfquarium is now home to a variety of Scleractinian frags (Echinopora sp.; 3 different Acropora sp.; Pocillopora damicornis; and some Ricordia sp. - All pictured above). Hopefully they all do well, though I'm not sure if my lights are powerful enough for the Acroporas and possibly the Pocillopora. This will be the source of continuous monitoring over the coming days and weeks, and I'll provide updates as they come - I'm hoping for all the best.

Hello, I really like your aquarium ecosystem.
I've always had freshwater tanks, but I'm trying to start a small(10-30 gallon) saltwater tank soon. Are there any pointers you can give me?
Also, did you use sand or crushed coral in your tank?
If you have a chance to give me some information just email me at weirdtop360@hotmail.com.
Thankyou!
