So it turns out my tank was perfect! Added some livestock finally :) the green star polyps opened after a hour in the tank! And so did the zoas. I put the clowns in at the same time and they are already "dancing" here's some pics

I also just found another hitchhiker. A small Asterina star on the glass.

So I'm confused. Testing results Nitrate 20 ppm Nitrite 0.3 ppm Ammonia 0 ppm Ph 8.0 KH 80 ppm GH 180 ppm Salinty 1.020 All the results have been the same for almost 3 days... I never had a ammonia spike to the slightest. I have tested ammonia from Day 2 everyday. When I added my water from Day...

Thank you! I can't wait to have it stuffed with coral and add some livestock. I'm in the process of upgrading my lighting and I have a small HOB protein skimmer being shipped. I will have to modify skimmer to work with my tank but should work out great.

Day 6

Finally! My tank is up and running like a champ. 16lbs of rock, and 12lbs of sand!!

Thanks for the tip. Can I push it for two fish and a shrimp? Lol just add them slowly? Like I said above my tank came in yesterday. I'm going to start my cycle this Sunday! I'm going natural route, live sand, live rock, a dead shrimp. What do you think about bottle bacteria? I have heard good...

What would you recomend? I just received my aquarium today! Finally

Thanks for the advice!! I will definitely check it out. I'm thinking about stocking with catalina goby, black and white clownfish, blood red red fire shrimp, and clown goby. As far as coral, I'm planning on mushroom of course, finger leather, some buttons, star burst, and much more. Also decided...

Hello everyone, my name is Josh and I wanted to post today and get as much feed back as possible. Today I ordered a fluval edge 12 gal and this will be my first saltwater tank. My plan is to make a nano reef. The tank comes with lighting and the filtration system. I need recommendations for...
