Fill day!

I got this tank for my birthday from my boss and amazing work team as they know have wanted to make the leap to salt for a long time!

I decided to make a trip down to Perth Aquarium gallery to get 2 tubs of salt water, some rock and some sand to get this project on the road and cycling.

I planned to use the dead rock and use the shrimp method to start my cycle... Later I changed my mind...

Got home, added sand, rock and water and it looks pretty cool!

After a few days, I decided to pull of the dead rock and replace with live rock I bought on gumtree.

Live rock starts coming to life immediately with little pineapple sponge, bristle worms and after 2 days pods...? I think that's what they are!

More to come! Stay tuned

Good one . . I love watching nanos starting up, it's always an interesting beginning to a reefers journey.

I was thinking ultimate plan is one really nice anemone and a pair of clowns along with a goby/shrimp pair. I was hoping to have something really simple and stunning...well that's the plan! No doubt there will be some learning curbs along the way as well as some heart break hahaha!
