Hello. I am new here, but I have been dealing with reef aquariums for 12 years. We have been preparing for this project for almost 2 years and finally the tank is getting filled with water. I came up with the idea to start a youtube stream from the first day of salinity (monday 07.02.2022). Commenting viewers would have an impact on what method the aquarium will be run (I have not specified it yet), what life will be introduced, etc. The broadcast is already live - . I had to mess around with the camera a bit, the image comes out too blue, but I will continue to fight.On Sunday, the first life at 12:00 - snails, some live rock and maybe some anemone. The matrix and the seachem stability funnel have already landed in the sump since yesterday. The wavemaker works so I let go of ideas with additional circulators.

If you're not experienced, i would not recommend adding anemones so early on.
Also, very cool idea. I suggest that you buy an orange camera filter so that it can block out the blue light so that the stream would look much clearer.

Hey, thanks for your advice. The 50% of the water is from other stable tank that works for around 5 years. The rocks are dry. From yesterday I started to add stability so I think saturday will be enough to put in first anemone. Quadri are hard ones 
I also ordered from amazon camera filters set. they should arrive tomorrow

If you can, take some small rocks/bio-media/sand from the old tank to the new one so that the new tank can be populated with all the types of bacteria you have in your old established tank(s). I know you put in old water already, but most of the bacteria are on surfaces, not free floating.Hey, thanks for your advice.
