Hi everyone,
I am extremely new to the hobby and learning more everyday. And I'm also setting all of this up as budget friendly as possible Thanks for stopping by and reading about my first saltwater tank.
So I bought a used 45g that came with live sand and live rock. The tank was drained that day. I removed everything from the tank and cleaned it. Cleaned and dried the live rock - threw away the live sand (didn't want to take any chances).
During that time of cleaning rock and buying supplies to set up the tank. I used the tank as part of my Halloween decorations
Here are the rocks as I had them drying in the sun:
Finally the day came when I could start cycling my tank:
I was a little short on water so I went back to my LFS the next day and got more along with some more live rock
Now it's cycle time.
