How large is the tank? How many lbs of lr do you have in it? In my opinion, it looks like you need more lr. It is very sparce, which is common when starting a tank.
The tank is a 12 gallon eclipse. 10 lbs of live sand. about 20 lbs. live rock.
I'm going to get more LR today.
The trigger is going to a LFS where i am going to get the LR from. They are going to give me 12$ store credit for it. He is getting more and more aggressive as the weeks pass.
Have you done any lighting mods to thee eclipse hood? I started with an eclipse 6 and it worked great for a fowlr with some inverts. I hade 8 lbs. of LR and 10 lbs of sand. The hood kept evaporation to a minimum (I never had to topoff the water). Did you buy the marine kit or is it just a standard 12.
.
Its the marine kit. I haven't done anymods to the lights yet. this is my first try at saltwater. I have a 90 Gal. with 40gal sump in the works. when my 90 Gal is running im going to use my 12 as a qt tank.
Yeah thats what i've read, melosu58. That thing ate like a beast too.
So. I'm in the middle of setting up my 90 gallon tank. I bought a 40 gallon breeder style tank from petco today. I'm going to make my sump out of that.
Now that i have a way better camera phone i'm going to document my progress with that in the DIY thread as soon as i start.
