Default "Let there be light . . . and snails!"

At the start of the week - after all the water parameters had been stable for about a week, we added the substrate and had the expected sandstorm - a little over a day later everything settled and was looking good.



Once the sand settled we checked the water again and with everything good we installed the two radions and we now have light!




This afternoon I hooked the lights up to my computer and programmed then - not exactly simple as the software really isn't very intuitive - but I got it figured out.

For better or worse we have started to add livestock! We put in 5 turbo snails this afternoon and have picked out a Royal Gramma and a Percula to be our first inhabitants. They are staying at the LFS to ensure they are healthy then sometime next week I imagine that we will bring them home!
