Welcome to the contest and thanks for starting a tank thread! Keep us updated as to the progress. Any plans thus far for it?

plans!! Oh... well, wait and wait some more. Be sure the tank is completely cycled, dabble a bit and have the water tested by a professional at my LFS before adding my CUC. Then the plan is to wait some more, add a small clownfish and down the road, when and if, I can successfully get some coralline algae... maybe add an anemone or some easy beginner coral.
I am really flying by the seat of my pants on this one and using pure ammonia to cycle the tank like I did with my little freshwater tank. So far there doesn't seem to be much for progress except the cycle is progressing nicely. Water tests last night showed low ammonia, high nitrites and low nitrates with a pH of about 8.3. A bit of brown dust is starting to appear on some spots on the rocks, so I guess it's on the right track. I have yet to see critters from the live rock, but might just be I have no idea what I am actually looking for! lol
