Our box of Ocean

Okay as promised I got pictures. I did get started until this evening due to a family birthday but I got the stand built and the tank about half full of water and salt. Its got a Koralia 2 and a heater in there to keep the temp up.

I will top the other half the tank up with water from the tub in the morning and do a small water change. Then in the evening I will move everything over.

The specs on the stand is 36" tall and the tank is 24" tall with a foot print of 20" square. The plan will be to eventually turn this tank into a Seahorse tank for my girlfriend.

Now for a question. As recommended I went on a hunt for a 10000K bulb but couldn't find one. I did however find a white actinic with a colour of 10000K. Will this due or do I need a full spectrum daylight 10000K?

Here is a height comparison, I am 6 feet tall.

I cant wait to get this new tank up and going.
