where are your updated pics w/ the live plants? :)

very true! i've seen a couple stores... but most are not particularly informed. anyway... i just added another 6 lbs. of live rock. i'll update once the water settles.

i also just bought a "stealth" 50w heater and a protein skimmer (the oceanic one) gotta hook those up tomorrow w/ the rocks.

updated pictures here's new pictures now that the water is clear: i'm going to buy another 6-10 lbs, of rock tomorrow, then update the pictures.

30 FISH?!?!?! in a 46 gallon? Waaayyy too much! The rule is 1" of fish per gallon, just for them to survive... not even to thrive. I'm guessing your fish aren't like 1" each... Your fish are probably 2-3 inches each... so i'd say you should only have 15-20 fish maximum. 15 should be good...

thanks guys. actually, when i woke up this morning, the water was like 90% clear, and now it's looking perfect. i even found what looks like a baby feather duster hiding on one of the rocks! now i have to go buy another 6-10 lbs. of live rock to add to the collection, so i can let it all cycle...

depends on how big your fish are and what else you plan on putting in there. also think about how much sand and rock or decorations you have, as that displaces some of the water capactiy. a 39 gallon tank should be about 36-37 gallons of water w/ normal "filling" the general rule is 1" of fish...

thanks man... some people have been telling me one week, but i've been seeing more and more saying one month. i guess i should be more patient! :) thanks for the advice! the anemone was a long shot. i'll probably stick more to shrooms and a couple frags, then letting them grow. i'm only buying...

if you're looking into that, should also looking at adding some substrate or live argonite reef sand... what do you have on the floor of your tank if you don't have sand? you should post some pics of your 55 gallon tank up (or both if you want) :)

live rock help is low maintenance. once a regular rock has been "cured" it is live and will just thrive in a saltwater tank. you don't need to feed it or anything. just normal water maintenance like you should be doing anyway. it will help build the proper bacteria to help maintain water...

so i hear! i'm definitely keeping all receipts and warranties for this bad boy... got it all in a little pouch inside the stand. thanks for the welcome!!! any advice on what order to start introducing more rocks, coral & fish? i have 20 lbs. of the live argonite reef sand and 4 lbs. of live...

ok... so i am completely new to saltwater tanks. i just bought a 14 gallon biocube and am setting it up for the first time. i was an idiot and added my live reef sand substrate first before adding the water and mixing salt. so it was crazy cloudy when i mixed it up (obviously). didn't think...
