As everyone else said. .. slow down.. take it easy. This is THE hardest part of setting up your first saltwater tank. Since everything is up and running just relax and do a bit of research on various aspects that are relevant right now. The nitorgen cycle, how to get it going (there are LOTS...

Woohooo.. following along on your journey

Ohhhh yyyeeaaaahhhhhhh

First fish and corals going in! 2 clowns some trumpet corals, hammer, GSP, mushrooms, and xenia I think.. pictures as things get moving..here are some drip acclimating pix

Thank you!! I have been looking at getting a pistol shrimp to hang out with the watchman. I like the idea of another addition. I will have to keep researching before I settle on one. How do you think a dotty back would fit in with these tank mates?

Following. This build looks great so far!!

Thank you so much!! I am pretty excited. Now I need to either find a good online dealer or an LFS that is reasonably close to me (North Adams) so I can get started on my stock list.

I am thinking about stock for my 40(ish) gallon corner bowfront tank... Green Clown Goby Yellow Watchman Goby Firefish Clownfish (pair) not sure on type just yet, thinking ocilaris (spelling?) Then a mix of Zoa, Paly, Softies, and LPS in time.. Thoughts on this and the order of adding them?

@Chris A. - thank you for the reply!! I was considering the same thing, but I just don't want to mess things up. My previous tanks followed a very different (and longer) pattern. Perhaps I have learned how to set things up a little better than before? LOL

In an effort to get things moving along just a little quicker I grabbed a live rock.. not certain that this is the final scape but it sure is pretty

Following along!!! Beautiful Corals..

This waiting is DRIVING ME NUTSSSSSSSSSS LOL. It is to be expected. I know. I am not rushing. I just want to witness any sort of change.. So ran the first ammonia test last night. As expected 2.0 ppm... I am considering tossing a bottle of BB in there to move things along..... stupid...

Fixed the sand and rock work a bit. I still think I need a bit more rock. also added in a raw shrimp to get this cycle moving (not pictured)..

Beautiful tank. I am glad I took the time to read through. Man you have done some great work on this. I am eager to keep following along.

What an amazing tank!!! I have never seen one so small.

So ...I did a thing...

Thank you!! It is certainly not the prettiest thing. but it will serve the purpose LOL..

tested and the RO/DI works great!! Almost time to get wet... Last night after my homework was completed my wife and I tried cutting glass for the first time.. This cover is in three sections. Front is PVC sheet, then glass (plastic is there to protect from the rough edge and to help open...
