In mid October, I found a used saltwater tank that came with everything I needed to start up. Guess what? I bought it.
   After I set it up:   Took me about 2 weeks to fill the tank with water. I used RO water that is tapped into my sink for drinking. Shoulda got an RO/DI system...o well. Last edited by -=James=-; 11-17-2009 at 06:01 AM.

Next was the sand. I bought 50lbs of aragonite sand.
 and then some live rock:  then some more live rock:  Just spent a couple hours trying to put the rocks together. It seems really cramped so I threw a couple pieces of rock in the sump along with the gorilla crab I found. Not exactly happy with this but it will do for now. I am not using any rods or anything to keep the rocks together. I have aquarium epoxy...should I use that? Any creative thoughts on how to aqua scape this? I left the liverock in the tank for about 3 weeks and, since the rocks were already cured, I dont think I got a cycle. All the organisms and inverts from the rock have been living ever since and my ammonia & nitrite = 0. My temperature is around 81-82 when the lights are on and drops to about 78-79 when lights are off. Is this okay? I am in the process of installing more fans.
