actually with todays readings, it probably wont be to long. 1 ammonia 2 nitrites 3 nitrates. though just might not have started to spike the ammonia Cant remeber which one can be above 0 but still those are promising. evacuated a matis shrimp today, saw the little fugger diggin and dunked him in some fresh water, bastard came out and put the rock back in the tank. suprisingly big, probably 3/4 of an inch. flushed the bastard did the same with the rest of the live rock. chased out a couple of crabs. checked them, are good guys, put em back good news is no aptasia or whatever. at least as far as ive found so far. inspecting them with a magnifying glass. rock is suprisingly good quality. Just orderd 10 LBS more from a store down state, who gave me a much better deal than the local guy and the pics of the stuff they pulled for me is amazing! Also gonna send me some established livesand for me to start up the tank with

w00t!!!

Tank:


Night lights on:


Day Lights on:


only thing I dont like is that there is no switch for the night lights, always on, but i can kill either one or the other main lights, well both if need be by a switch. so thats kinda annoying but not really.

enjoy the empty tank

oh, new live rock on its way!!
