Just starting

Welcome to R2R!!! Looking great so far what are you thinking of stocking it with?
 
basic starter package... softies and LPS. Start with standard pair of clowns, watchman, cards, and royal gramma. Taking things slow. I‘ve cycling my QT and MT for about 3 weeks. Will add clowns to start.
 
Clowns still in QT. One of my clowns has a small black dot on his fin that I’m watching. Making sure it isn’t fluke. MT is ready and cycled. I’m getting anxious!!!

Fish are still in QT. The black spot on the clown faded away. This made me concern it was some sort of parasite..maybe fluke. I started Prazi last week and just finished a 7 day treatment. Did a 90% water change yesterday. I’m thinking of starting copper today.

They are so tiny!
 
Welcome and looking good!
 
Clowns go in the tank this weekend. I installed an Intank basket in the left chamber hoping to reduce temp. The temp was unaffected. The temp is still at 79 with lights off and 82-83 with the lights on which isn’t ideal. Still trying to figure out a solution to lower temp w/o removing the hood.

I ordered coral (probably more than I should of) this weekend thru the WWC sale. They arrive in 1 1/2 wks. I’m trying to decide if I will setup a QT for coral or put those in the MT. I would need to purchase an AI prime or something more affordable for QT.
 
new update.... The tank is progressing. I added my clowns, invertabate, and coral to the MT. I recently Got my first algae bloom.
