So I went to my LFS today and I got my water tested, they tested it for free too because I am there so much Anyways, my tank never went through a large cycle because I went slowly from freshwater to brackish water to saltwater. The tests came out as following: 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 8.2 pH, and an sg of 1.021. I added some more salt just now so right now, the tank is probably about 1.023. My setup is as following: 20 gallon high, 20 gallon iron stand, aquaclear 150 hob filter, aquaclear 50 powerhead (270gph), hagen elite powerhead (60gph), all glass/hydor 100 watt heater, magfloat algae cleaner, a perfecto glass canopy, and a just made lighting fixture with one 15 watt fluorescent strip light 10,000K, and also 2 coralife 50/50 20 watt bulbs. This puts me at 55 watts over my 20 gallon high. As for rock and coral, the tank includes: ~15 lbs of Fiji Live Rock, ~10 of some type of blue mushroom, 1 large green fluorescent mushroom, many small feather dusters including brown, blue, white and red ones. Then, for live stock, I have: 1 small mono argentus of 1 inch in length and height, one small yellow-tail damsel of about an inch, 4 Astrea snails, 4 nasarius snails, many MTS, small bristle stars, a mithrax family crab, and many other critters hiding away in the rocks. As for the mono argentus, I will trade him back once he gets too large. Right now, it is still a juvenile and has been loving it in my tank with great colors and is eating very well. The damsel that I have is fortunately not too agressive. Occasionally, it will nip the fin of the mono, but this is not rare, and both of the fish have great colors. As far as fish go, are there any other type of fish that I could put in my tank, maybe only one more as I know that in saltwater you can't populate the tank too well because of teritorial issues. I may be interested in a clownfish or others, please suggest fish. Pictures will be posted soon I hope, probably tomorrow.
