Alright Gladly!

 

The tank is at my high school because my parents specifically told me that I could not start an aquarium at home until december (Parents )

 

so i asked my science teacher (who is also a reef enthusiast) If I could start one in his class room while I was waiting to setup my aquarium at home

 

He said it was fine and even gave me the tank and clamp light

 

The tanks is 31 days old

 

Its started with about 3 pounds of fiji LR from premium aquatics

 

Then a week later I added 4 more pounds also from PR

 

Also added about 1 inch of Live sand from an established aquarium (Thanks Mr.Meany!)

 

let it cycle for about 3 weeks

ammonia-0 nitrites-0 and nitrtates-0-5?

 

Added a tiny blue damsel (named Bloo) about 11 days ago

 

and I got the emerald crab a few days ago

 

everything is looking good so far!

 

What kind of lights are those?

 

The one on the left is a 13 watt 6500k florecent

 

and the one on the right is a 10 watt 50/50

The Damsel did that

 

He dug a burrow underneath his favorite rock

 

He's kind of camera shy

I just graduated high school and started college, my parents were the same way... "You need a bifg aquarium for saltwater and it'll be way to expensive, no!"

 

So one day I found NR, and a few months later I went out and got a 10g and a bunch of noob hardware and snuck it into my room, after a few more years of research (I am very patient) and messing around with tanks I put together at school, like you did, I now have a wonderful tank! Good Luck!

When I bring it home I plan on getting an actual lighting fixture

 

 

do they sell 20 watt 50/50's that will fit in a regular bulb socket?

 

Thanks!
