Hi there

Post by Mirrorpad »

A big hello (sorry couldn't find the smiley that waves).

My name is David from the UK. I have owned various freshwater tanks from an early age and as of 10 months ago, after a lot of reasearch, moved onto marine tanks. I have been lurking for the last 2 days as i was considering breaking down my reef to get a Porcupine puffer.

My current tank is a 5'x2'x2' with 3'x18"x2' sump, 80 Kilo LR.
My current fish are;
Fu Manchu Lionfish (Dendrochirus biocellatus)
Flame angel (Centropyge loricula)
2x Common Clowns (Amphiprion ocellaris)
Magnificent Foxface (Siganus magnificus)

Various Snails,Crabs, Shrimp and Corals.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum!!

Porks are nice ;) That is one of my dream fish.

What are going to happen to the other fish and corals after?
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

Thank for the welcome.
I'm friendly with my local fish stores and have a few friends with marine tanks, so rehoming wont be a problem.
i have been talking to a member on here about my plans and he recommended a 6' tank for porc although there are several references on here to 4'x2'x2' tanks being ok.

Any advice on tank size would be appreciated, 120gal+ comes up alot but no actual dimensions.
