First SW setup

So as the title says this is my first SW setup and I am loving it so far - here is a brief description of my setup(im sure ill forget something) and a few pics, I have since made some changes with my rock and will have to take more pics once my lights come on for the day.

-40 gallon breeder
-40lbs of CaribSea’s Arag-Alive sand, 20lbs of Fiji Pink, 20lbs of I forgot the type
-50ish lbs of live rock, mostly fuji and tonga
-For lighting I had originally went with a Coralife Aqualight High Output T5 Fixture but after a few days of it being on the tank and reading online about proper lighting I ordered the same unit again(so that my $140 light would not go to waste) so currently I have a 4x39w setup
-I am using 2 maxi jet 1200 with rotating powerheads(not sure of the brand) on a wave maker
-AquaClear 70 filter with a Chemi-pure filter
-AquaC Remora skimmer with a Rio 800 pump(I plan to upgrade to the Maxi 1200 asap)
-LED moonlight lamp

Cleaner Crew

-14 nassarius snails
-4 mexican turbo snails
-7 margarita snails
-2 blue eyes hermit
-8 blue legged hermit
-1 scarlet red crab
-1 serpent star

I am going to get 2 cleaner shrimp today when the store opens

Coral

- I mostly have zoo's for the simple fact that I think they are cool looking(and i hear they are great for beginners)
- Frogspine(sp?)
- Few small mushrooms

Fish

- 2clowns - before I got the fish every time I brought something home my wife asked how much was all that? Now that I have fish in the tank, that she feeds and has named she is more excited about adding to the tank and hasnt asked me how much $ has cost - it worked out great.


Well I think I have covered just about everything, I look forward to hearing comments, suggestions or questions about my tank - thanks!

 

You are forgetting the most important item -- test kits.

 

Iv got that covered -

- Reef Master Test Kit
- API 5 in 1 test strips
- In tank ammonia alert - and Ammonia neutralizer, I havnt had a problem with ammonia but thought it would be a good idea to have the neutralizer just in case
- C scope refractometer
- digital thermometer

 

well they were out of cleaner shrimp but should have some more later this week - i also made the change to Rods frozen fish food - fed the guys a bit ago and they went crazy over the stuff

 

from what I can see it looks really nice! love to see some bigger pics.

 

Wow, the pics are tiny - I'll work on that and see if I can't blow em up a bit

 

Lets see if this works

 

Ok, so as far as I can tell if you click on each image it will blow it up

 

Looks good.

Oh, and it's Frog Spawn. Because the ends look like frog eggs.

Welcome to 3reef.
