![]() ![]() NH4 - <0.25 NO3 - between 2.5 and 1 PO4 - 0 The plan for today is to add the substate - we have 60 lbs of Nature's Ocean Substrate - argonite reef sand. We will rinse it well before adding it. We will then let everything settle, do another water change, further tests and then I think we will be ready to add a small cleanup crew. While all this is happening we also will set up our quarantine tank. ![]()

We put in the sand today - pictures likely tomorrow - once the water has cleared we will do more testing and begin to add some life!

![]() One step at a time things are getting done! We have completed our mixing station.
![]() I built a stand for the 20g Brute Cans to sit on - there is room under the stand for two buckets of salt. The right Brute is insulated and is for the SW - I have added a spout to make it easier to fill buckets to take upstairs. In the SW can is a heater and used Hydor Koralia powerhead. The left can is for fresh RO/DI water. I do not yet have the spout added to that can - but it will come eventually. Each can has an auto shut off float valve. Our RO/DI unit is a Puratek. I have plumbed the lines so that I can fill both at the same time or switch between them. On the right of the panel I have a power bar that everything plugs into including an overhead floresent light. If you look carefully, you will see an electrical box just under the panel - that is for a light in the adjoining room. Though it can't be seen I added vapor barrior over the electrical box just to make sure water and electricity don't meet. (I figured that would be a good idea ![]() Thanks to Nate for the idea of insulating the SW can! Our next step is to install the Radion lights over the tank - maybe there will be fishies by the weekend! ![]()

![]() 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 ![]() 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! ![]()
