    Well I got my tax money.... So naturally I went out and bought me a saltwater tank finnaly after months of research. It is a JBJ Nano Cube 28 gallon HQI. I got a killer deal on it from the lfs everything with a stand for 600 which also includes a 100 dollar store credit so really it was 500. I had made about 20-25 pounds of live rock about 6 weeks ago which i had curing in various buckets I only used about 16 pounds of it and i ordered some sealife live rock as well. I put in some black live sand and it is now sitting and sitting.. just daring me to put something in it. I am not going to even contemplate fish or anything until the middle of july at least... Well i will get some pictures up once the water clears and you can see my amazing wet rocks. I will just pretend one of them is a frog fish for now.

    And where are the pics???? You know, this behavior is not and will not be tolerated. How can you expect us to be happy for you, if we dont SEE what you have acquired. Man, these kids today just dont get it. <<< Luna is looking for his ticket book to write him a citation.>>> ;D Luna

    It only took my tank about 24 hours to clear up, there really isn't anything to make it clear faster, just time, good luck, sounds like your already on the way to success

    Usually a couple of days, but if you run a skimmer and carbon, should be less. Luna
