| Griffey's 54 Corner Saltwater
I recently started up a saltwater tank. Sometime around late February 08.
This is my first tank ever and I must admit...It's a great time. I figured that I'm 28 and married...time to settle down and pick up a couple different, more relaxing, hobbies. ahahah 
These are my tank Specs...

14 Turbo Snails
50 Blue Leg Hermit Crabs

I have been treating one maroon clown for a case of Marine ICH...I have been soaking the brine shrimp in Garlic Xtreme for about 30 mins before I feed the fish. I was told that it was a slight case of Ich and that the Garlic would boost their immune system and help the clown fight it off. I have been doing this for about 5 days now...and it does appear that it is reducing the spots that I see on him. I only see them in the morning when I feed them and now the spots have moved to the edges of his fins. | |

| I am always up for suggestions and advice. I am a novice at this and I don't claim to know it all.
If you think I'm doing something wrong please advise me...as I have now stuck about 2K into this "hobby" and I don't want to see anything go wrong because of operator error. LOL
Thanks.

| I don't know too much about SW setups, but the tank itself is looking great.
Is the Maroon hosting in the anemone there? That's something I think really looks great in SW tanks.
Good luck with everything | |

Good luck with everything | Yep...that's exactly what the Maroon is doing. They said there's a possibility of the Maroon and bubble tip not pairing...but that pic was taken about 15 minutes after I put the anemone in there. I guess I got lucky with that.  | |

| Thanks guys.
Pic one in this post was taken last night before I went to bed. I thought the bubble tip was dying...
Pic two in this post was taken this morning when I got up. Everything was back to "normal".
The size range from about 1" diameter last night to about 4.5" in diameter this morning.
Is this normal acting by the bubble tip anemone? | |

| I'm glad it's doing better. It's a beautiful bubble tip. I'd post a question over in the SW section on it, to get the best advice.  | |

| Looks very nice, corner tanks can be a little hard to work with because of the shape. Good job! | |
