My first reef (90g)

[Rikotek]

Hello to anyone who might read this.

I am excited to be starting my first reef aquarium after getting bored with freshwater.

Nothing much to report yet except that basic setup is complete
I have been lurking on these forums for a few months picking up very helpful information now and then, but this is a first post!

Equipment:

90g All Glass Aquarium without Sump (for now)

1X Seio M620 Powerhead for general circulation

Ehiem Canister Filter

2X Identical heaters of unknown wattage (but they do the trick)

54 watt (6 bulb) T5 Sun Systems TEK Light (Love it, was going to go Metal Halide but cost and heat were factors)

Unknown brand 6X1watt LED moonlight.

That's it so far. Currently cycling the tank with a 12lbs piece of liverock to get the process started.

I am planning on buying a protien skimmer as soon as I finish buying more liverock (I hear you need roughly 1lb per gallon of saltwater, so its going to be a little while, stuff's expensive


Anyway, I don't expect too much in terms of comments, just wanted to say hi, get myself introduced to the forums and have somewhere to point in case someone asks about my tank situation.

Hello, cheers and wish me luck

Welcome to the board Eric!!
Sounds like you are off to a good start. The Tek T5 setups are great lights.

Wow, thanks for the welcome

I have my first (albiet low quality) picture of my tank.
Still clearing out some of the murkiness and just letting the one piece of liverock start the cycle process. Will be buying more rock next month!
