Nice tank so far

SarahBravo, don't let water hold you back, just buy some RO or DI water and add the salt, it takes minutes!

 

[Mr Miagi]

Nice stuff Ben! Did you get that LR from the lfs you work at or somewhere else?

All is going well, added first fish today, a "Yellow Bean Goby", looks happy enough!.. Continuing to test levels although they have already gone to 0, which i am a little sceptical of, but i suppose its a good thing..

Watch this space for pics..

awsome pics man....how about a full tank shot

yep just buy ro water @ your grocery store or have it delivered like i do. but if you can buy an ro unit cheap definitely get one. sw may take more time and be a little more expensive, but it's well worth it!

I can get R.O. water from work, although I don't want to cart hope bottles of it... And the thought of plumming in an R.O. unit doesnt seem possible at the moment.

I haven't used it so far and it all seems fine. Just used water conditioner to get rid of the metals and am using carbon in the filter which will help some.

your photos look great! but i would nuke that glass anemone (aiptasia) asap with some joe's juice or pure kalkwasser. it can quickly overtake your tank, sting the crap out of your other corals and/or fish.

 

[Adistar]

wow great tank.
i really admire great looking saltwater tanks, they seem to have so much care to them and everything... not to mention they are more expensive

 

[bunjiweb]

The star polyp has opened up really nicely now - very happy with it.

Got a 2nd fish today - a "Tail Spot Blenny", very cute little fella.

More tank/stock shots will follow soon.
