So black friday rolled around and my parents insisted they get me something for the holidays, after going from store to store all day and finding nothing of interest, i have always enjoyed going to the local petco and checking out the reefs they have, after going home my sister inlaw told my parents the only thing i was excited about was the reef, so my parents drug down two 29 gallon tanks from their attic and told me to go to the store and get what i needed to start the tank, after talking to employees at two separate petcos, and customers at petco who had their own reef tanks, and a ton of research online i started my own reef tank, currently not enough live rock (ordered more on ebay waiting to show up, along with drift wood), after week in, i have two clown fish that seem to be healthy so far ( been three days) but i ordered a couple frags (black friday deals) from world wide corals, i know rushing is not the direction to go with a reef tank, but wwc has agreed to hold my order till the 13th, i have heard of insta tanking though, i have 40 pounds of the caribsea arag alive, currently only about 10 pounds of liverock, with 25 pounds otw, i was researching keeping dolomite in the tank to help with calcium and alkalinity so i have some dolomite in the tank, current ammonia lvl is 1ppm have some ammonia trapping filter media (realized i forgot to clean my filter yesterday hoping after cleaning, the ph and ammonia stabilize, i have a peen plax cascade 700 filter that should show up in the mail tomorrow, i will also continue to run the tank hanger filter, i have the second tank filled with RODI water (started first tank before i ordered the rodi) i call it my emergency water and i have two gallons of what i call oh crap emergency water that is sealed, also i have a 15 gallon tank i want to grow algae in, and kinda want to create my own skimmer (with a 3d printer) of sorts to go into the algae tank. im always anxious about everything so im gonna post photos of everything i have got for the tank so far, and feel free free any criticism or anything else i might need for my reefs that will be here on the 14th, i may have over ordered or repeat ordered, but i wanted to take advantage of black friday pricing and have what i might need in the future, then to wait and need it at full price later, i know i can be scatter brained sorry and thx in advanced, mainly looking for advice on mildly instatanking for frags, and any other input is appreciated, frags already ordered from World Wide Coral will be here on the 14th, dont know how long they will live in a bag!
