Thank you very much - we are very pleased with how it is looking. Again - thanks to Subman for the inspiration - he has also done a great job.

Default Almost ready to go!!

We have been doing regular water changes and testing the water since we got the SW in the tank. We have been using Salifert test kits. As of last night the levels have been stable for three days at the following:
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 are completly open to ideas / thought on what to add first for a cleanup crew.

Thank you very much. I'm really looking forward to finally seeing life in the tank as well - it seems to have been a long time since we started this journey.

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!
