Adding Fish

Well two days ago I got fish, some cheap saltwater fish. Got a few Damsels.

Adding Bacter Boost

Added this new chemical that was recommended to me by my friend, it is Weiss Organics Bacter Boost. It fully cycles a new aquarium in two days.



Here is a tank shot. The water is crystal clear.

Protein Skimmer

I installed the protein skimmer, don't have it running yet because i have no fish in the tank. Once the fish are added the skimmer will go on.

Adding Live Rock

My tank is cleared up and added live rock. Also started up my filters.

The heater is set up and on at 80 degrees and the powerhead is on.

Turned on bot my filters a canister filter (Eheim professional II) and a bio wheel filter.

I added about 40 pounds of live rock, hopefully by the end of January I have about 100 pounds of live rock. I can tell you one thing, the rocks aren't cheap!!

Adding Live sand

I brought 3 bags of live sand for the tank (other bag is being put in the tank)



You can see the water got cloudy once I added the live sand. Now got to wait till the water clears up.

I also turned my heater on and set it to 80 degrees.

At this point:

-Mixed the sea salt with the water
-Turned the power head on
-Added the live sand
-Turned the heater on at 80 degrees F.

Adding sea salt

I am going to use 1 bag of Instant Ocean Sea salt for my tank.

Mixing the sea salt with the water

Salt on the bottom of the tank

Now we turn on the power head to have the salt mix in with the water. Just wait till the salt mixes in with the water.
