Added water and live rock. Also adjusted flow patterns so that I would get the flow patterns I wanted with the live rock set up.

I love Angels and Butterflys :(

 

I am going to do a 40g Breeder below it in a few months time, got some Euphyllia's growing at work in case I do a reef then.

 

Whiteshark, I am not doing a skimmer. I never have (although if I get enough grief I might have to change my ways...). I am going to grow some Caulerpa in there, hoping to help keep things balanced.

Right now there is 1x65 10,000k PC and 1xRoyal Blue PC (each 65w).

 

I will be doubling that once my canopy is made.

 

 

So what fixture? Current USA Satellite? It looks great!!!

Tank cycling verrry slowly. I rushed it. Damn, my bad. The animals I added are eating and are quite active, live and learn I guess.

 

Isn't it a bit wild that we can buy living things for a couple dollars?

 

Will update again once tank has finished it's recycle.

BIG NEWS!

 

So I picked up another ballast and two more PC bulbs. I've decided I am going to go reef with this tank. 4x65w PC is the amount I now have. I especially want Green Star Polyps.

 

I'm going to move my spongeface crab to a 5.5g to live with a Pom Pom.

 

The Long Spine Urchin will be moving to a Cardinal breeding aquarium I will be setting up with a guy at work.

 

I'm pretty pumped.

 

Also, I finally got a Nitrates reading tonight. I believe the cycle is finally happening. My fault it has been so problematic.

 

Here are some pics of the new ballast (which will be fitted into a canopy my buddy is making me).
