Edit: Current FTS (1/2/20
):
Please excuse the mess while I try to figure out how to correctly use this forum.
I grew up with freshwater tanks (my favorite growing up was a smallish Discus tank with aproximately 8 fish), and decided now that I have a stable income and some extra time and money that it was time to start a mixed reef tank.
I decided to put it at my office, since that's where I spend the majority of my waking time (and I also want to show it off to everyone that is unlucky enough to come into my office).
With all that being said, I decided to go with the 150 SC Aquarium full setup. Here's some pictures of what was sent to me:
More pictures of the tank going up in my office:
This was my first attempt at plumbing anything, and I decided to make a few modifications to what came with the setup to include a ball valve (I have no idea how the Herbie system that came with the tank was supposed to work without a valve, but I digress):
Rocks and water going into the tank:
My basic temperature controller. I mis-measured the heaters, I did not intend to put them in the first chamber, and I may switch this up later:
Added Dr. Tim's One and Only + Ammonia Mix as of October 5 -- Let the cycle begin!
