Just In!

Hey guys - Im new to the site and excited looks like a good one! I am just getting back into saltwater. I had started 2 tanks in the past with my girlfriends and then we split up sad because the tanks were always at their house so they went too. Ive learned and finally have one of my own. I had an ich one day to start up a nano so i started researching. Before long i found out that a really nice nano was expensive!!! I found a really good deal in the local paper and took it as soon as i saw this tank. I have a 36x36x21 CUBE (117 gal.). I had 55s before but this is so much nicer. Just started so it has only water with one fish inside. I stubbled upon a Double whiptail bream (banana fish) and put him in, hes doing fine. sand is on the way. So anyway I was on Reef Central and discovered Marco Rocks (which look really nice i think ill be picking some up soon) and on his site was the link to Reef Sanctuary, so here i am- going to surf around

Re: Just In!

Welcome to the greatest place on the net for saltwater.

Your cycle is going to start all over after you add LR and LS, I would not add any more livestock until after your cycle is complete. It will add unnecessary stress to your fish. If you are not using RO/DI start looking for it at your local grocery store and such, you can avoid some of the problems I ran into such as high calcium, PH and other elements in your water you do not want.

Re: Just In!


keep in mind that Marco rock contains trapped organic material and will cycle the same as regular live rock as it decomposes
