This is my first attempt with a SW setup. I have some help though ... JinxXx0085 hasn't done a SW set up either but she's going to help me with mine! :dance:
Haha JinxXx, GOT YA! :joke:
So far I've got:
29 gal tank/stand
Cyclone Backpack 2R - filter/protein skimmer
Aquaclear Powerhead 30 - plan to add one more powerhead
Stock heating and lighting - this will change, but since I'm only keeping sand at the moment I'm not worrying too much about it.
The tank has been filled
I've added sugar-sized aragonite sand
Oceanic salt has been added to a spec grav of 1.021
The pH as of yesterday was around 7.9 (I'm using Kent Marine Superbuffer-dKH to bring that up and will test again later today)
Jinxy took some pictures for me. (Thank you Jinx! :bowing: ) The tank was a bit cloudy because I had a slight buildup of salt/sand on the inside walls from the initial fill. We cleaned that off best we could and this morning the water is completly clear.
Next step will be too seed with live sand and add some live rock.
