Very first SPS

[excell007]

I got a few softies and LPS about 6 weeks ago and all of them are doing well and actually growing. So I decided to bite the bullet and get an SPS. For $20, what can go wrong right? Here it is after a day in my tank.

You're absolutely right. I mix blue and black bucket red sea salt, i used to do 50/50, but now I have to use more black to maintain Alk level.
