I've been into fish hobby for about 10 years but freshwater only. So I decided I wanted a reef tank since freshwater getting a little boring now but cannot afford to set up a medium size tank right away and want to test out to see how things are with a small one first. So I went on a little shopping spree and got these:

1. 1st gen Mr.Aqua 7gallon rimless tank with wood brace on the bottom at Tongs tropical fish in Fountain Valley.
2. Found AC110 for dirt cheap on local Socal craigslist and did a little modding but not to the impeller.
3. Went to Home depot and found this awesome little clip on refugium light for the AC110 refugium mod.
4. I also went to Socaltropical fish and got a mini tunze 106 for a great price!! and I'm very impress with the high flow that little thing can put out
5. Lastly I placed an order from Linen N Things.com for my Nova extreme 18" t5 Free shipping!!!

So I got everything ready and I was in a search for some live rocks and sand. A Local guy gave me a good deal on few pieces of live rocks, sand, and Chaetos. So I dumped all these stuff and start the cycle of my tank!! Now the tank has been successfully running with just few pieces of corals to test out and I'll be filling things up as time goes by.

Here is a video of my tank running on week one. As I am a newb in reef so I need all the suggestion that I can get for Do's and Don't.

and be sure to check out the information tabs on the left of the home page.

Looks pretty good! Just as a few tips, make sure you use RO/DI water for mixing salt and top offs. Very important to prevent nutrient build up and nuisance algae growth. Also, as this is your first tank, go slow on stocking the tank. The slower you stock it the better chance you have of keeping everything alive and happy. Keep up with your water changes. Read up on everything you are trying to add. I tried to watch your video, but the sideways capture of it kind of made me give up on it. Since you have a small tank try to keep stocking down to a single fish or two very very small fish (small gobies like neon or greenbanded come to mind). This will seriously help your chances of keeping the hobby enjoyable. Keep up on your water changes! Two gallons every week is what you should strive for. Don't grab an anemone. Just don't. Also your lights aren't good enough for SPS or clams and honestly SPS, clams and anemones shouldn't be kept until you are very confident in your abilities. If you have specific questions ask up, but it looks like you are doing a good job so far. Enjoy!

Thanks for the tips bro, lol I'm big time sorry about the bad video at the beginning, try to skip it forward till the middle of the video that's when I change direction on the camera. So yea I recently added these because I've got a great deal on them and couldn't pass it away.

My main question is: What do I dose my tank with? how often? and when do I start dosing since my tank is a week old...

As long as you aren't packed with stony corals (which as a first tank you shouldn't) keeping up with your water changes is all you need to do. No need for supplemental dosing. Go get yourself an API test kit that has both ALK and Calcium. If you notice your levels drop too much between water changes then you can start dosing a two part calc and alkalinity supplement like B-Ionic (great brand). Other than that. Don't add anything else. Thanks it. Two part IF you need it.

Thanks Paleoreef103!! Come on guys please chime in, I want to get as many different perspective view on my tanks

id be careful having your tank setup on its side like that, it looks like the water will just pour right out!
