Hey guys, i'm a discus keeper who is new to marines, i want to keep a reef tank with a couple of small fish in a 64 litre (18gallon) tank, just to gain some experience. Any pointers such as equiptment, water chemistry, corals, fish. Greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi Mickey,

Your best bet it to head over to - http://www.masa.asn.au/phpBB2

Join up, introduce yourself and ask as many questions as you can ... Research is the key to marines and reef tanks.

Good luck mate.

If you want to catch it , try and find out what peice of live rock it lives in , fill a bucket of your tank water, and then blast it out with a strong power head .
