Wow...thats amazing. No fish in ther yet? Is it hard to start up? or herder to maintain after the start up?

 

[wooglin]

No fish, just inverts and crabs, and shrimps. It is not nearly as hard as I thought. It is expensive. I have about 1000 dollars invested in a 30 gallon tank.

all I have to say is wow

 

[c_paan]

1000 dollars....wow

but the end results look worth it though

Looks great How long until it's cycled and ready for fish?

We are trying to decide if we should turn our 65g into SW, but the expense may stop us for a while

 

[wooglin]

Dunno, maybee a few more weeks. It is cycled well now, but I am not sure If I am going to put fish in or not.

Nice tank. I have around $500 in my 10 gallon. It's been up for 6 weeks now.

That is absolutely great looking live rock, and I like the aquascaping too - no 'fruitstand' display here.
What were your biggest costs do you think? Lighting?

Would you mind telling us more about the setup?

What kind of skimmer? What type of lighting? Do you plan to make this a FOWLR, reef, etc... Corals??

But I wonder why you have an anemone so soon- they require lots of light (metal halide), excellant water quality, and a mature tank of atleast 6 months to a year. Even with that, they tend to not do well in captivity. That one looks pretty bleached, I'm afraid...

keep us updated!
