I have heard and read many great things about this website community. After a 4 year break from salt water aquariums, I have started a new adventure with corals. I purchased some used equipment, tank and stand with the hope of taking all of my "learning failures" from the past and finally having a reef tank setup. I have a 40g breeder with a 15g sump. Technology has changed quite a bit from 4 years ago, and is much better "budget friendly" than the past. The tank has been running for 3 days now, with 50lbs of dry rock, 3lbs of live rock and 40lbs of live sand. The cycling process has begun, and will wait for at least 1 week (hopefully by then my ammonia is 0) before inserting CC in the tank. I will try to post pictures tomorrow.
