Wife's getting into the hobby!!!

[CoryDude]

Finally! Now, I have an excuse to set her up a tank. We were visiting Bruce at Aquatek (he was a groomsman at our wedding) and she saw the cutest pair of mated Ocellaris clowns. Once I saw that smile, I knew she was hooked!

Ordered a 60 cube reef ready and will be using the DSA neo-nano stand. Anyways, on to my point. Here's the equipment list I have so far. Any suggestions?

- Acrylic sump made for 24X24 stand w/filtersock
- Return pump, Eheim 1260 (can't do external pump since wife hates the noise they make)
- Tunze NanoStream 6025 & 6045
- Euroreef RS-80
- Sunlight Supply Tek 24" Fixture w/4X24 T5 bulbs

She's pretty much just going to have the clownfish pair and a BTA (due to lighting and ease of care) and aprox 50lbs of tonga lalo liverock. Think that's going to work?

Make sure you at least throw some zoanthids under those lights.

We all know how expensive this hobby can be! All of us also know how the wife likes to spend money........ Put those together and you are in trouble!!!

I guess I'm lucky, my wife has more time invested in our tank than I do... She also got hooked on a pair of mated Ocellaris clowns, but we have a reef setup.

Aha! We must have missed you during the day. I saw the clowns marked and saved for "Cory" and I thought maybe there was a mistake because I didn't know any other Cory customers. That pair is adorable. Good luck getting everything set up!

And brace yourself. All sorts of pretty new corals will start catching her eye and she just might feel the need to decorate :bigsmile:
