Getting close to being able to put life in my bowl of saltwater! did another round of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate test tonight 0/0/5-10ppm

will give it till Saturday and test again and if all looks good may pick up my first fish! :whoo:

may be a small trace of trites but that should clear up by Saturday if there is actually any never liked trying to match colors.

to be honest im not sure. I plan on a pair of clowns for sure and will probably get one other fish as well kinda thinking of a pistol/goby pair but i'm worried about the pistol and a pom pom crab witch from the get go of the tank is a requirement my the gf haha.

I would really like a scotter blenny but not sure if this tank is enough room.

coral wise it will probably be a missed reef.

So far, just feed the fish, emptied collection cup and now am running some top off water. I need to obtain and would like to purchase a smaller and squattier jug..

I may clean the glass when the lights come on later..

I'm thinking about giving this a try, what reactor are you using?

ZIGGY63 · Dec 18, 2014

Right now it's just in the filter sock in a media bag, hopefully next weekend I'll be starting up a brs dual reactor.

Rob.D · Dec 19, 2014

10 gallon water change, filled ATO box, replaced GFO and carbon.

We are all holding our breath for pics and details! :tongue:

Haha sorry for the suspense. Been busy we have a new 8 week old puppy and let's just say he's energetic!

I'm gonna pick up a another fish today and I'll get some pictures when I introduce it.

Promise this time!

Will be picking up a kessil 360 after Christmas (hopefully some New Years sales) and I'll start picking some corals.

And I'm gonna have to make it to a meeting soon.

Went through a round of tests on my smaller tank. Good thing as salinity was low.

Cleaned the skimmer on the big tank.

Starred at the other big tank.
