Ok posted in members thread :fun2: plan is to have corals fish etc in this tank. Starting small with 20'gallons since I'm getting a new house in January so at least I can learn a bit this way first before going bigger. Waters cycling for five days now with the live rock and sand.
Not sure what changes I'm waiting to occur but I'm in no rush since I still need more equipment and a test kit. The tank does have about five baby hermit crabs eating on rock and a few tiny tube feather duster type worms that came on the rock.
The store let me take the live rocks they had in their display tanks dunno if that's good or bad but I thought it would give me a head start. Got the rocks at Noah's ark. And everything else at salty fin. Got lucky and found the used tank for 20 bucks. Never noticed how much rocks can actually weigh till I'm paying 5.50 a pound lol my debit card is still smoking a bit. Still need about ten more lbs of rock
