New to Saltwater Aquarium

[ChrisDowns]

Hello,

I'm new to saltwater aquariums. Had freshwater many years ago. Always wanted saltwater but never got around to it until now. Bought an Aquatop Recife Eco 40 gal. Set it up two weeks ago with live sand, Caribsea Life Rock and premixed RODI saltwater. Water tests with Red Sea kits all in parameters for mixed reef. Put in two clowns yesterday. Seem good so far. Haven't started skimmer yet. Told I could wait a couple weeks after putting the fish in after the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate cycle. Would like to add some invertebrates in a couple weeks but that might be too soon.

Any comments on my process so far?

Thanks.

I am as well! Welcome and good luck

Welcome to R2R

I always thought that water movement is important. You can consider a wave maker before the skimmer.

I have a wave maker - Hydor Koralia Nano 425. I added Instant Ocean Bio- Spira before adding the clowns.

Thanks everyone. I'll keep sending updates.

Welcome to R2R! Slow and steady wins the race. Tank looks like its off to a good start. Have you considered adding any supplemental bacteria?

 

[jalewis]

Haven't thought of that yet. Do you have any recommendations?
