Day 1...

One year later...

Added this yesterday...

2 clowns and Just added my first coral yesterday...wanted a mature tank before adding corals and my LFS guy laughed when I told him my tank was a year old...He says why did you wait so long?

research research research lol...Eh, going from not having a clue to having a tank survive a year without a fish dying, id say rock on. Time for a bigger tank, have to wait till after the new year though. AAAAAAAAAAAnd of course, all comments and criticisms are welcomed lol. Thanks for looking

Well at least no one can say that you rushed into it lol.

Mostlydave · 12/08/2013, 02:20 PM

Looks great! Im hoping I'm in the same place about a year from now!

Drakon · 12/08/2013, 02:48 PM

Well done, I hope my fish are still kicking In a year. Unfortunately patience isn't one of my strengths. Again very nice!

StevieD · 12/08/2013, 03:38 PM

Waiting was the hard part, im impatient as well lol...Thanks for the kind words, I didn't think I would like a salt tank as much as I do, but its kinda fun. Its also a lot easier than most make it out to be if you do your homework. If you rush, your in big trouble lol

Wow! Your self control is amazing! Cycling almost killed me! Are you going to wait as long on your bigger tank!

StevieD · 12/08/2013, 07:58 PM

I hope not...I could start filling my 40B until I get my bigger tank, or I may wait so I don't have to move everything twice ya know...not like I would have a problem waiting lol

Wow, what self control! I keep getting hassled about adding my first fish & my 40 B has been cycled for 2 months. No point in adding a jawfish if the screen top isn't finished lol
