New 72 Gallon Bow Front

Dave gave me a good deal, so this will be a fish only tank.

Setting it up

Check levels and sit and wait for lights to come in and the tank to season.

Should get lights in by the end of the week. Will prob toss in a couple of Damsels to help get the cycles going. Will add fish prob in 6 weeks. Already got some fish waiting on us that I purchased. Dave's "Plato", Pink Rhinopias(Scorpion fish) will have a new home, as well as the Marine Betta and a Red Grouper. Planning on getting a Dwarf Zebra Lionfish, and possibly a Porcupine Puffer. May add some kelp or mushrooms for color.

Are you going to feed live foods?

 

[Raquel12771]

Yep, going to get a 10 gallon with an air stone and small heater to house minnows for food. Planning on using the net method of feeding the scorpion fish, any that escape will be food for the lion fish.

If you are looking for some really cool Damsels to add check out the Sapphire Damsel, I have one and they actually change color when excited. I wish I had a few more!

These are just to cycle the tank, they will be eaten once the predator fish are added after the cycle. ;-)
