Killed-
1 green open brain (probably from a heat wave)
1 stunning elegance coral. It faded within a week of owning it. I don't think that they heal well from nicks and cuts in transport THis piece succumbed to a jelly like infection in a very similar manner to the brain only months later. I have had bad luck with corals that have skeletons similar to brains and elegance. I'm afraid I'm to clumsy and rough with them.
1 T max
1 banded pipefish (I didn't kill it the CB shrimp bit off its tail-It was doing good and I loved that fish).
2 firefish
1 (male) Bangaii Cardinal
Firefish and card both victims of the bloodthirsty pseudo
Use B-ionic daily, clean skimmer about once a week, feed about three times a day -more than the fish and corals can eat, clean glass and lights about twice a week. Also add about 3-4 gallons of water at a time about twice a week- I just dump it in and everything seems too like it. A lot of people would crap if they knew I did this but it doesnt matter.
Once you get past the initial few months of figuring out the ins and outs of reefin' its really simple and takes less maintainance than any FW tank I have ever kept.
