I've been in salt for just over a year - have a 33 gallon tank. Sump and skimmer are in a room behind the tank.
Seven fish - lawnmower blenny, purple firefish, two clowns, yellow tang, bicolour angel and six line wrasse.
Corals include orange tree sponge, red chili sponge, hairy mushroom, blue/orange/brown ricordia, gorgonian, pulsating xenia, two rose bulbtip anemone, colt coral, torch coral, orange zoo, green zoo, green bubble coral, blasto, caps, green star polyp, candy cane, green/red/blue mushrooms and a flowerpot in a pear tree.
An urchin, crocea clam, cleaner and peppermint shrimp, snails and crabs also inhabit the tank. Sand bed with 75 pounds of live rock. Have sand and live rock in sump.
Other information - along the way I had been in freshwater fish for eight years. I had about 150 to 160 hours of learning in after five months in the saltwater hobby - this included time for setting up the tank which has fish, liverock and corals. There is a learning curve in the saltwater hobby! Fortunately, online forums are helpful and there are also many veteran hobbyists in Regina and area - newcomers to `salt' in these parts also seem to have a strong knowledge of options and ideas for our hobby.
