Yesterday I set up my first saltwater tank after 4 years of keeping freshwater and after months of research and buying equipment here it is!
I'm using a par38 led bulb with a gooseneck bulb holder, a hydor koralia 240 power head and a 125 gph hob filter with activated carbon. I also have a clip on blue led light for morning and night and about 12lb of live sand and 17lb of live rock.
The tank after adding sand
And now, from the side
The live rock came from a friends tank with some Kenya tree coral and some coral I can't ID. Also there is a snail I cannot ID. If you know what either of these are please let me know! and It opened up today and the inside was fluorescent green.
I will try to update this as much as possible but it will be slow while the tank cycles. I'm hoping to keep soft corals and eventually some LPS. I am new to this so I will make mistakes but please forgive me and tell me how to do it right !
