bit of an update...

still waiting on the zeovit rocks. I'm considering a skimmer. maybe an aqua-c remora. heard good things about it and i'd rather not have the skimmer in the tank interfering with the light. Limited tank space as it is.

I'm still debating whether to get some liverock to seed my rock again. I'm finding live feather dusters on some of my rock so I'm thinking it might still be ok.

no pictures yet because the tank's not officially "up" yet.

oh and getting my potassium up to 380ppm or so is a PAIN!

ok I set up a remora skimmer and took a picture. Lots of microbubbles atm cuz the skimmer's breaking in. I'll be running the HQI for 6 hours a day as I wait for the zeovit to come in. I'm seeing feather dusters come out, little ones. It's nice how I haven't been able to see any pests

here's a picture of the tank. Because of the tank's small size I was really able to play with the depth of the rocks in the tank. It's too bad you can't really see the way the rocks are arranged from front to back. The straight on photo doesn't do it justice:


here's under the tank. the little 10 gallon's my top-off resevoir:


I will be dosing zeovit, k-balance concentrate, amino acid, and 3 part trace daily. If I find I need calcium I'll begin dosing calcium/alk daily too.

I've got my watch set for 10:30pm each night to make the dosing part of my regular daily habits. I want this tank to turn out well so I've gotta get into a routine.

My coral decisions will probably be LPS colonies (no frags) and ricordia and duncans. I have a real small tank compared to my old 120g so I can stock it with real nice coral at a fraction of the price it would have cost me in a larger tank.

Getting excited!
