Very new to the saltwater hobby. My tank has been running for 2 months now. I still have not added any coral because I need to get lights for my tank. I currently have the following.
55 gallon tank
Marine land light bar
OCTO HOB 1000 classic protein skimmer
55 lbs of dry rock
Partial cuc added 3 weeks ago at first signs of diatoms.
2 clowns added 2 weeks ago
1 yellow eyed tang added 1 week ago
1 blood or fire shrimp added 1 week ago

Good looking tank! Welcome to the hobby! Now open your wallet lol

You will probably want a different light if coral is what you want

 

[Todd_elb]

I am definitely getting a different light. But it works for now. I will get one r 2 in a couple weeks not in any hurry to get coral and kill it.slow and steady wins the race right

Cool setup..just a little advice I would spread the rocks for better flow and more room for corals that being said welcome to the greatest adventure/hobby and good luck.

Can’t help with the video, I can’t load them in either.

Your scape is very nice. Work work work lol. It’s good work though. Can’t wait to see it as it matures.
