MaineReefkeeper Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Ordered my reef cleaners pkg today. I used bio spira when I added the water. Approx 5 gallons came from my dads reef tank as well as a bit of the rock and I added some sand from his tank as well. I had a diatom outbreak in no time after the new live sand and the sand from my dads tank was added. Haven't been updating all the little things that go on behind the scenes. He let me borrow his test kits so I didn't have to wait for mine to arrive. Which luckily my Marine Depot order showed up today finally after the the order originally got damaged in shipping. Order was originally all placed May 5th. With this order I finally got my light too!!! Yay!! Still no arm from Current though. So I will get the light on it with the legs for now. I'm hoping to start putting some coral my dads been holding for me in the next day or so. Finally some good progress!! Have somewhat of a plan on where I'm going livestock wise too.... 6 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 That's all good news. Are you plans a secret or a surprise? Quote Link to comment

Going with leathers and maybe one Lps for the center piece depending on where I am with the $500 cap on livestock. Fish I am still up in the air. The fish I want would run me 200 or so dollars for the 2 but I think that'll eat to much into my coral budget. So still tossing fish ideas around. 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Sorry to hear about the damaged shipment but hopefully you got the replacements without too much delay. Have you heard back from Current to ask for your shipping address and such? Quote Link to comment
