I dont know that much about salt water tanks but that looks awesome love Winston very handsome do you have any other plans for the stock list.
 
not really sure probably a goby or a blennie for sure maybe a pistol shrimp and goby to go together who knows
 
You definately don't have too much current in there, looks like your off to a good start. I'd some kind of backing so you can't see the equipment behing the tank.
 
Nice start ! How long has the tank been set up ? By the looks of it it's not been that long. I'd leave it as it is for a month or two and see how things go. You'll most likely go through the usual cycling phases....cyno, algae, diatoms...etc. Wait till all that passes and then look around for some additions. I think a goby/shrimp combination would be a great idea ! Also, look around your area and see if there are any active reef clubs around. They are a great source of information and used equiptment at great prices...not to mention coral frags.

Have fun !
 
its been about two and a half weeks and i definately went through a huge diatom bloom so i bought 9 smaller hermits and they cleaned it in the course of a few days what should i expect next is there a typical order that these blooms happen. on another note coraline seems to be poping up all over as well as a some green colours, red and a greenish blue as well.


i really appreciate the advice
