Hi all,
Bought this tank about 2 years back and was just sitting at home waiting to be setup. Bought it on impulse looking at the wonderful setups around and then realized what I am getting into. Started learning about the hobby ever since sporadically whenever I could find time and have been lurking around various forums.
Finally took the plunge today and set it up. Haven't made any upgrades or customizations so far.
Day 1:
Joined sgreef. Got a bag of sand some 6 kgs of live rock. Added water over it. Water is slightly murky. Have turned on the wave maker and the halide lamp. No change to the filtration setup [stock : ceramic balls + carbon + sponge]. Specific gravity is 1.022. Protein sink yet to be setup.
Let me know what you guys think of it. Do you suggest any changes to the rocks formation ? What's the usual time frame for the water to clear.
