Five months ago today I decided to start my first saltwater tank. I bought a bare bones setup with just the equipment, tank, sand, some decor, and a coral banded shrimp. (Dry rock added by me) a month later I added two clowns and the month after that I added a royal gramma basslet. The clowns have been in for four months and the basslet has been in for three months. I am running a fluval c-4 HOB filter with 5 stage filtration, dual led strip lights, and 3 power heads. The tank has been doing fantastic and I have had no problems so far. I'm addicted!
