Thank you so much for the welcome guys this is the tank so far

 

[Shnetts]

Welcome!!!

 

[ChrisfromBrick]

did you start with all dry rock? You’re in for a wild ride, just be patient for the first year.

 

[gilbydan]

Yea I was advised too but after reading I think I was advised wrong but I do know I'm in this for the long haul

 

[ChrisfromBrick]

what are your plans for it? Coral? Fish only?

 

[gilbydan]

Hoping for both

 

[gilbydan]

Would it be too late to add live rock now or just wait it out??

Not at all. Do you have a sump? Looks like you glued up that rock scape but nothing says you can replace with live rock which will cut your tank maturation down considerably. Even moreso with ocean live rock

I know I'm late, but welcome to the community Dan!

This tank looks to be non-reef ready (no overflow to sump). I recommend a hang-on protein skimmer such as Icecap K1-100 to help with water quality.

No I run with a canister filter fluval fx4 but no sump the cupboards isn't big enough as the centre is solid oak and it's only the centre rock archs that are glued
