Congrats on going to saltHi all!
I wanted to properly introduce myself before I start posting on the forums
I have been keeping freshwater fish, and 2 Axolotl's for a couple of years but always shied away from saltwater tanks. I just remember when I kept fish as a teenager that the saltwater business seemed really confusing with all these measurements and expensive equipment. Well, Im a little older now and actually enjoy nerding around. So the family took the plunge and bought a Fluval flex 123l saltwater tank.
switched the stock pump for a sicce syncra sdc3 and have got intank filtration baskets on the way. Jebao slw20 as a single powerhead, although i havent set it up yet.
the tank just finished a 21 day cycle today (fishless, wet live rock and added bacteria, decaying shrimp as an ammonia source)
So, the new inhabitants bought from the LFS today are:
2 clownfish
1 file fish
2 trochus snails
2 hermit crabs
Now we await the ugly phase, then we are super excited to add some softies and lps
Best advice is to be patient. It is really hard to have an empty tank and wait - especially when new to the hobby. However, if you start adding corals too soon, you’ll soon have an empty tank again and wallet. Corals thrive best in an established tank. Good luck to you and happy reefing
