I did re-do the layout and am planning on the black on the back soon. Thanks for the input.

Anyone?

So, I have been cycling the tank for about 3 weeks. Fishless cycle, feeding flake food and have a raw shrimp. 41 gallon tank with sand & live cured rock. The highest the ammonia reached was 1.0. The highest on nitrates was 10 & nitrites never raised. Is this normal because of the live rock? I...

I am fairly new here. Have been lurking for about a year. I have experience in freshwater, however, have just taken the leap to saltwater :) What I have is a Fluval Osaka 155 (41 Gallon) Tank. About a week ago I started the tank with sand, salt water & Live rock, which it mostly cured & best...

Ammonia up to 1.0 :) Still need to check the rest... But looks like we are on track ;)

Thinking I need to spread it out some. Is it OK to have it touching the sides / back for stability?

Not sure about the rock layout for sure.... Open to suggestions :)

Thanks guys, I was reading the hydrometer the wrong way it should have been 1.025 ;) I rechecked it today and it is very slightly above 1.024. Will check them again tomorrow and see if there is any change.

Got the tank going about a week ago, put in the sand, live (mostly cured) rock. Finally got it aquascaped yesterday & added more saltwater in today. I only have a partial kit that came With the tank set up, I will need to get others to complete it I guess? Anyway. Salinity is 34 Ammonia is .25...

Thanks Joy for that info. I will be sure to keep it in mind on my tank plans :)

Very cool! The clown fish will be the first ones we get as well. Did you get an anemone?

Got it all aquascaped today... Finally! Lol Waiting for things to settle again. Should have pics tomorrow ;)

Thanks! Got it aquascaped today,waiting for it to settle again. Should have a pic tomorrow ;)

Hopping tomorrow I can start aquascaping, since I kinda just had to get the free live rock in. The pic doesn't do the rock justice, lots of good color, just covered right now with a layer of sand.

That seemed to help some, still cloudy, my thoughts now are about it kicking back up when I go to aquascape. Any thoughts? Should I do a partial water change this early in the set up?
