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.

Awsomesauce! What fish are on your list?
 
Awsomesauce! What fish are on your list?

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..
 
Sa has a nice breed of clowns that I think look cool, their called long fin clowns? They just look wild to me
 
Added my first fish yesterday will probably get it a friend this weekend! Checked ammonia today after feeding to make sure had no small spike.

gonna do first water change in a few once the water warms up

ill put a picture up when i get a chance to get the dslr so they are half decent.
 
What kind of fish did you get? made up 5 gallons for the top off bucket, and slowly starting to run Gfo.
 
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.
 
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.
