It has arrived! Day 1, Red Sea Max Nano

[Hemlawk]

I discovered this hobby about a month ago and Ive become addicted instantly. I finally got my tank and set it up yesterday. I couldn't be happier.

What do you think about this Seascape? Is it too clustered for coral?

Would be pretty cool to fill that cave with anemones or something

It looks cool. This is an exciting time. Enjoy.

A couple considerations, that is hard to see in pictures, are leaving room to clean between rocks and glass and dead spots for flow.
I have an IM 10g. And right under the return nozzle and back wall is one for me.

Beautiful bengals! Oh, and the tank looks nice.
What corals do you plan to keep? You might want to remove that top rock to give them more room to grow vertically.

I'm should be starting a Max Nano soon also.

Thanks all

Since this is my first reef, I'm going with Soft, mushrooms and some LPS coral. (I want a Torch, gorgonian., Hammer, fogspawn, Green star, Neon green nephthea, etc)

Fish, probably 2 clowns and 1 other pretty, peaceful fella.

I had a yasha goby and pistol shrimp. They are fun to watch.

I just got home from work and my office STINKS!
I guess this is normal for the cycle process?

I use dry rock, live sand, bio-spira and 1 SHRIMP from the seafood deli.

 

[Jason mack]

How long has the shrimp been in there ?? Have you tested for ammonia??

 

[Hemlawk]

Shrimp have been in there for about 20 hours. Ammonia 0.5 ppm
When should I remove it?

When your ammonia reaches 1 ppm .. you should remove it ..
