Hello, I can finally claim I have a tank. The display tank it's 100cmX50cm and the sump is 70cmX40cm, I decided to put 9kg caribsea live sand just so I can have a nicer look. I have 20 kg of dry, I think ceramic, rock and 10kg of pukani live rock. For lighting I have the maxspect 160w and for flow I have one gyre xf220 and one jebao SW-8, as for now I'm happy with flow, but if not enough I have another jebao to contribute. It's been cycling for only 2 miserable days and it's already filled with life, I've seen some feather dusters, there's some mushroom corals, unluckily, some aiptasia and I guess different type of filter feeders. I put 50ml of seachem stability for the beneficial bacteria and my LFS gave me two bioptim to feed the bacteria, supposed to give one 15 days after the installation and the other one 10 days later. The salt I'm using is the coral pro salt and I have a bubble-magus curve 5 as my skimmer. I also have 10 bio cubes in the sump, where I plan to have a refugium. There's still some stuff I need to get, but as for now I'm very happy. The cycling is going to be eternal and will crush me not to be able to add some more life. The LFS is going to gift me 4 soft corals frags and I would love to hear some suggestions, I was thinking about gorgonians, organ pipe and zoanthids. As for now, I want to get a one spot foxface, a pair of maroon and a dwarf lionfish, but I don't seem to get the fuzzy dwarf, which is the specie I want to get and instead can only find zebra lionfish, do you find any big difference between them? Thank you very much.
