Advice: The hobby is addictive and very expensive. Do not overstock - the experts were right. Stay away from anemones. Go slow and be patient. - I was not and it cost me dearly.
Fish Kept: 1x maroon clown, 1x mandarin, 1x damsel, 1x sea urchin, 2x turbo snails, 3 hermit crabs
Corals/Plants: I honestly don't know the names of them. No hard or soft corals. The simple things: mushrooms, star polyps, pulse corals (arguably not simple), tubeworms, and a clam.
Tank Size: 30 gallons
Quote: The only things that happen quickly in a fish tank are bad things.
