There's nothing in this tank but rock, yet I can't stop staring at it.

My chiller will be here Monday then the fun really begins.

I have had many tanks in the last 30 years and I am still thrilled and enchanted by a tank with just water. The time invested in letting the tank cycle and evolve is well worth it.

Awesome tank BTW. You'll save yourself a lot of money and self investment by waiting.

When I started my just filled 65 gallon tank with live rock I use to sit in front with a magnifying glass and look for my first bug or any sign of life. Slowly watched the tank go through its cycle. Lucked out because there was this one small zoa that grew kind of fast and multipled. With no fish in the tank the bugs were king and then all kind of things appeared. In all honesty it was probably the best time I had with the tank...

Very nice setup. It’s all worth the wait. I bet you can picture so much right now. It’s like an artist with a blank canvas.

The waiting never ends in this hobby;). Once you have it stocked you have to wait for the corals to grow.
