I love waking up to this every morning!
Feel free to let me know which picture is your favorite!
All of them lol. What lights are you using? Water changes? Are you dosing anything? What's your routine like?
I'm gearing up to start a 20 gallon reef myself. It'll take a LONG time to get it to where your tank is though. Honestly, this is such an amazing tank. You have to start entering it in the saltwater tank of the month contests. It may not win right away, but it "will" win before long. I can't see the photos all that well on my iPod (outside ATM) so I'll have to recheck them on my PC later.
Once you're out of brine shrimp you should switch to frozen mysid shrimp. They're way more nutritious than brine. It takes a little less of the mysids to give fish and LPS corals more nutrition. Less food for more nutrition is a big win win. If you aren't already using a vitamin supplement like VitaChem you may want to look into it. Lots of the people who have used it for years will swear by it. I certainly do. It's totally optional.
How many fish are in this tank? I can't
imagine it's more than two or three from the way things are going. I firmly, wholeheartedly, emphatically believe that one of the keys to a great, healthy and easy to care for mini-reef is a light fish load.
Once I get all the equipment in I'll start up a build thread, too. This will be the 6th reef tank that I will have setup (not counting all the ones I helped setup for other people). It's still at least a month away so...
Evansimp what kind of light was on your ten gallon and how much was it
Did you let the water oxygenate for at least 12 hrs prior to your w/c
