:rasta: Sorry, not that kind of reefer.
My wife got me a saltwater tank for my B-day from a friend of hers who couldn't take care of it anymore. I don't know much about it but have been hitting the forums for knowledge and amazingly haven't killed anything yet. When they brought the tank over (3 hours away) they killed a yellow tang, some kind of angel and a sea urchin but I never knew them (the fish) so it is what it is. The fish that survived were 2 Blue Chromis, 2 Clowns, a Sand Sifter and a Brittle Starfish although I haven't seen the starfish since we put it in the tank. There were some corals too but I don't know the name of them yet.
I did make a trip to the local fish store about 40 mins away and got another coral, an electric scallop, a peppermint shrimp and a Picasso trigger fish. I've wanted a Picasso ever since I saw one when I was a teenager. My wife named the trigger Fred Flintstone and he has quite the personality. The peppermint shrimp dissapeared about 30 seconds after he got in the tank and I haven;t seen it since, I think maybe the trigger ate it but who can say.
The tank is a 90gal and came with a protein skimmer plus 2 bio-wheel filters. I want to get a sump but had a bit of shock when I priced them.
Anyway, I'd love to hear about your set-up and see some pics. Here are some pics of mine so far.

The scallop, you can actually see the electricity in its mouth! Not in the pic but in the tank.
