Hello to everyone here @ SRC!

Its great to join the salty side as i have always been into planted aquascaping! Feels great being an hobbyist once again! [is it true that if you have planted aquarium background, it would be much easier to get a hang of marine in no time?]

I would like to leave a journal of my own here for keepsake and to share with everyone. Btw it is also my first time doing a marine tank. I have limited knowledge on this matter and i have read up quite a fair bit [Mostly from this forum]

I have prepare almost most of the equipments more than a month ago and finally had some time to do it today.

Tank Dimension: 5ft x 2ft x 2ft

[i am a ADA inspired fan, thats why the tank is braceless all round crystal,low iron or what do we call this]

Did the salt mix, PurReef Salt from AquaMarin /w 1 wave maker to stir it for a start.

Added a very important live bacteria from PRODIBIO to do cycling.

I would be signing off. Will update this thread soon.

Hi to everyone again!

Here is the look of the scape while cycling.

post-23880-0-62964500-1412605624_thumb.j

Still cloudy at the moment due to caribsea live sand added in.

Here is also the system of water storage.

Crystal Pro Ro/Di filtration to keep fresh RO water and salt mixed water for future use.
