      The sky is the limit as far as adding gadgets and doohickies on these tanks.
      But I'm just trying to figure out the bare minimum and/or best value set up. Much like koi.

      And then fish and corals. It seems like everything eats everything given a chance.

      I think the reef hobby has even more acronyms than koi and ponds.
      Looking forward to watching it all come together!

      Thumbs up Tank full

      I’m messing with my light settings....and have no idea what I am doing.
      I just found someone’s settings online and copied it

      I guess I’m waiting for the tank to cycle and then buy a fish. I used api quick start for marine aquariums but it expired 2/19. So I don’t know if it’s doing anything.

      DaVinci Clowns

      Aka Gladiator clownfish

      These little ***** are super expensive. The regular clowns were on sale 2/$15...but these popped out in a tank of 300+ clownfish. In fact we found the second davinci in a secret corner tank away from the displays.
      There are a ton of designer clownfish but these look the coolest while still sporting somewhat classic look.

      I hope I don’t kill them

      Yes I’ve read that a lot has changed in reefing in the last 10 years especially the lighting

      not a lot has changed, but lighting yes, We had metal halides that made evaporation a pain.

      I thought the idea of reef tank is to have tons of live rocks. Typical live rock looks purple from the coraline algae growth.



      I hope you didn't pay too much for your not-so-live bleached rocks.

      Come on pumpkin, I am Mr. Thrifty....formerly Mr. Google.
      Live rock brings lots of good things as well as lots of bad things. I do not have the experience to fight the bad things so I chose to start from zero.
      Besides, dry rock becomes live after time. Also its about 1/3 of the price of live rock and you don't have to stick it in a tub for 3 months cooking the yuckiness out.
