Hi All
Just started with my marine tank about 6 to 7 weeks ago.
Its a little pico tank which holds about 40 liters of water.
I have had fresh water fish for awhile now and was practically "donated" the complete Jebo R338 with all acc's for R150. Thought it was time i started a salt water tank and here i am.
The tank has been cycling for the 7 weeks with really nice cured live rock.Also to boost bacteria i used Seachem Stability and a Purigen filter for the ammonia/nitrates,etc.
Life in the tank seems to be good from day 1....lots of bristle worms(2 over 1 inch big), and some rock life...microscopic feather dusters to me and a few tube worms.
The rock came with Sundial snail aswell which has survived thus far aswell.
About 1,5 weeks ago,the wife got me a yellow tail blue damsel, as she thought it was mad of me coming home everyday for the last month too look at my rocks...so now i have a fish aswell to look at. Fish is eating well and so far no signs of stress.
I intend to create a mini reef tank.
I have modded my tank and installed a 10W Aim Marine Blue moon light in addition to the 2 daylight CFL's. This was done for the coral growth.
So far so good.
Will take some water to Jungle Aquatics tomorrow to test it and see if i can start putting in some soft coral.
Well thats me.
Thanks
