I just converted from freshwater aqua scaping to saltwater reef. So please do guide me!

Tank size 60×35×40 (given)

Chiller: hs 28

Pump: dymax 102

Media: bio home grey, and ceramic rings and etc.

Wave maker: wp25 s3 pulse mode

Light: led light that has 27 blue and 21 white light. Dimmer function and timer.

So, how this started.. It all started because I was looking for a cabinet. However one of my friend found someone giving away a marine tank set.

Was playing around with the rocks given to re scape the tank..

In the end I chose this due to space constrain.post-23514-1401274832223_thumb.jpg

Welcome to the forum! Great to see a new reefer! Very soon, u will find out how addictive this hobby is :thumbsup:

Just some advice for the scaping. Depending on what you plan to keep, you might not require that many live rocks. My tip will be to have 2 main structure of live rocks. Keep the rocks from touching the glass, and leave some space for at least a toothbrush to scrub algae off the glass.

IMO, too many rock for a small tank n keep rock away from the 3 glass wall to enable u to clean with ease.

What does imo means? And yeah. I would be doing some shifting later! =)

The shape of your rock scape will also affect what kind of corals u be able to place on it and movement of water thru it and also allowing fishes to roam and had hiding places & own territory in your tank.

U need to play around with the rocks u hv & remove those that u dun need & choose the scape u like. Of coz u need to shape it by stacking to create caves and crevices and valleys to allow water to flow thru to minimize dead spots.

Hmm.. I do agree with what you said, but the left side is a huge live rock.. can't do anything about it. I'm planning to keep lps, clams and zoas for the time being.. but I am gonna wait for another week before adding in more corals just to play safe. =) since I'm at it, you guys got any corals to spare? Hehe..

I added this gorgeous orange yuma along with a few other corals such as pipe organ, green - purple yuma and gonio from a fellow reefer on the 3rd of june, but unfortunately, it melted in less than 3 days for the yuma and others died in 1 week.. I don't know what went wrong.. such a disappointment, however I've already let my tank be as it is and cycle for another 2 weeks.. ammonia and nitrite currently 0.25. Hopefully soon I can add in Corals..
