Calmwaters First Saltwater Build

[Calmwaters]

I don't think I have shared a full tank shot in a while. It looks kind of empty still... one picture is with the lens filter and one is not.

QT crew is doing great there is also a lawnmower blenny but he's shy and stays in the rocks most of the time.

I hope you don’t mind if I share a picture of my tank on your thread.

Fish have arrived and so far everyone seems to be alive and well! I will post more after they acclimate and settle in.

Here's my new little ones the Exquisite Wrasse is hiding and the Leopard Wrasse picture is dark because I left the lights off and it had buried itself in the sand before I brought them their first meal. Any of the white you see is not actually on them its food floating around. The pictures really don't do them justice but I didn't want to stress them out too much trying to get better ones. The orange on the Tomini's fins is really bright and pretty and the Chocolate is really a bright yellow. I seen each of them eat and do far they all seem to be doing well.

Absolutely beautiful fish, I wish I could see them in person but you know that whole restraining order thing you have on me and all.

Well if you would just promise not to try to steal my fish I might could lift it... ROFL

Your tank may not be ready for those Acropora yet. Be prepared to lose them.

Your tank may not be ready for those Acropora yet. Be prepared to lose them.

Do you think they may be okay since technically the tank was cycled when I bought it and moved it to my house? It's been in my house close to 6 months and was setup several years before that.

If everything is stable and kept stable, yes. You can put Acropora in a day old tank successfully if everything is stable.

The only thing that hasn't been stable each time I test is the Magnesium but since I bought it I'm hoping it will be ok.

Temperature, pH, Alkalinity and salinity all need to be stable.
