wow started these on 5/16.... 32 biocube and 13.5 fluval sea evo... they are now cycled, ammonia 0, nitrite, 0 and .25, nitrate 10 and 40 respectively , getting ready to do water changes and hopefully add fish next week..... i have a list of what i would like for each... have a few questions though... in the 13 gallon evo, is that too small to have sand sifting goby and a blenny? not sure how aggressive they are.... and should i add clown pair to the 32 gallon first or last? due to aggression.. if last is a watchman goby a good first fish or would a long nose hawk be better... not going to add corals till all my fish are added and tank is better cycled. and i'm using safety stop on the fish before adding them to the tanks because i don't have room for a quarantine tank in this small house.

Hello from a guy who just decided to jump in to a 265G salty water project with absolutely no experience. I believe I am about 2 weeks away from putting water into the tank. So yeah I am definitely a newbie

Beautiful and creative rock work. Is that little one glued to the glass?
wow I’m very impressed

It WAS glued to the glass, the position of it just caught too much “stuff” trying to enter the filtration section so I had to remove it.
 
Howdy, this is my progress! Few steps backwards but enjoying the journey, apart from my burning wallet

Here is my recent build, 150 gal aqueon tank, started in April 2020. Redid the light shelf last week, I couldn’t stand the lights being uneven from hanging them. Currently, there are 6 fish in there, 2 percula clowns, 2 blue green chromis, a Gramma and a yellow watchman goby.

So I’m just a newbie. Set my tank up in January and let it cycle. Began adding fish in March/April. Just starting with a few corals, so I’m nowhere at the level most of the folks here are! LOL. But I love my tanks. I currently have a 55 gallon and a 29 gallon Biocube, which has my seahorses in it. I’ll Also be getting a 90 next weekend, thanks to my niece who upgraded. Anyway, here are my pics.
