Posted a few other threads so I might as well post a build thread for the on-going tank.
First we started with the Fluval 13.5, when I ordered it I also ordered the in-tank media basket and a AI Prime 16 HD light
Soon after went and got 18ish lbs of dry rock and a bag of live sand.
After running for a few days discovered an aiptasia and some other hitchhikers ( bristolworm, feather duster). Took care of getting rid of the aiptasia
After a few days of running we had some diatoms
At this point I discovered a baby Rock Flower Anemone on one of the rocks
Started checking my water levels making sure everything was good to go before we added anything. Took my daughter to the fish store and at first she picked out a black storm clownfish but I couldnt justify 110$ for the first fish so we ended up with a Black Photon
and some snails
So decided our first fish needed a buddy and went back and got another
and also got my first corals-
Thats it for now, cant stop looking at different corals but want to give it some more time before I decide to go crazy.
