Cool! Let the party begin

by the way if you use the IMG link from photobucket it will show the picture instead of just links. It's the bottom one in the choices.

 

[tektite]

Here you go

Looking good so far!

 

[TX...r33f]

Thanks tiag & tektite. Do yall think the cycle would take as long as any other bigger tank? Or will it be short, because of the little water it has in it. Either way i am fine waiting because i want to do it right.

 

[tektite]

Size of the tank doesn't affect the length of the cycle much, the sand/rock you used is more critical. Were they live sand/rock or dry?

 

[steveb]

Looks nice! What are you using to cycle the tank?

 

[TX...r33f]

The sand is live & the rock is live. For now i just threw three pellets of food in the tank. i dont really know if i should be doing more or less.

*Also another shipment should be comeing in today so ill post more pics.

Let it rest and do your test everyday to see where you are.
Most of all take your time.
What are you planning to have in there?

 

[TX...r33f]

my plan is to have no fish ,but maybe a peppermint shrimp. Other than that i plan to keep soft corals. Such as green star, mushrooms, zoas ect:. I think it would be cool if i could keep a plate coral. i had one in my 45g reef setup befor i sold it.

okay i think i got it now thanks again

 

[d2mini]

You might want a small fish or two. I have a small black clown and a paired goby/pistol shrimp in my 6g nano, along with a fire shrimp, a bunch of snails and some small blue leg hermits.
Fish poop = free coral food.

 

[Diesel]

AHHHH, test kits are a + on new setups.

 

[ReeferMike]

LookS cool man

 

[TX...r33f]

Thanks everyone, i am just trying to plan my stocking list. i know i want a peppermint shrimp or something along those lines. But what about fish? i dont think any fish would be happy in this tank. what do yall think?

While your tank is cycling, mean while bring a visit to FJW one of our amazing sponsors and you will be not disappointed.
And in a few weeks you can get some fish.
Clowns, small wrasses, cobbies will work fine.
