Hello,
My name is Sara and i began my tank on 4th october 2018. I am super happy to have my first tank and look forward to all challenges it brings with it. My tank is a eheim aquastar 63 marine kit(63l-around 16 gallons). Started with 2 pounds live rock and another 7 dead and sand between 1-4 mm. Also ruining a small skimmer witch I am planing to upgrade, 2 power heads and one small filter for filtration media, using carbon now.
I am also dosing artificial bacteria from aqua-forest. Would appreciate any advice :)
I attached some pictures oh and sorry if my English isn't perfect it is not my first language.

Sara, remember to go slow. I used DR. Tim bacteria and ammonia and took about 3 weeks to be cycled and ready for fish. I will suggest to start with one or two fish first and then wait for the ecosystem to get a little more stable to add corals, specially hardy corals. Any question don't hesitate to ask. We are here to help you.

The 52-week internet series of videos found at BRS (Bulk Reef Supply) should prove both interesting and informative; it will take you through the hobby from the ground floor, up. Have fun!
