Hey Folks. Just this weekend began establishing my first reef system. Bought a 24 gallon Nanocube and about $1000 and 2 days later I have saltwater organisms living in my midwest family room.

Current Liverock with "crab-catcher" and stupid Damsel acting as bait in the glass (I think he's trying to commit suicide as he keeps swimming into the crab-catcher right in front of the giant Gorilla Crab cave)

I bought mostly Pukani live rock and after adding Bacter boost for 2 days the water chemicals suggest I have completed the first cycle. I added a damsel today to help continue the cycle over the next 1-2 weeks. In the mean time I have found lots of critters living in my live rock. Mostly bad guys from what I am reading. I'll post about my hitchhikers in another thread.

Anyway, cheers. This is a fantastic hobby.
