Hello, my My name is Matt. My wife and I and just set up a new salt water tank. We had a 55 gallon reef tank years and years ago, but weren't very successful at it. We are ready to try to enjoy this beautiful hobby again. We recently purchased a Coralife Biocube 32 with stand. A fairly local fish store (Aquatic Critter) helped us get started. We put in 20lbs of live rock, live sand, and purchased premixed water from the store. After getting the temp stable (per their suggestion) we put in 2 occilaris clowns. We have had the clowns in the tank for a week and the nitrite and nitrate levels are good and the clowns seem to doing well. They are swimming, eating and pooping. . We weren't told to add any bacteria to the tank, just add the two clowns. Hopefully all goes well. We love it so far and of course are very anxious to eventually add some corals. Patience. Lol. Thank you for allowing us to join the forum and we look forward to learning how to keep a tank successfully this time. :)

Welcome, and thanks for joining. Remember baby steps. What are you and your wife’s aspirations for the tank?

Thank you. We are hoping to eventually have possibly 3 more fish (royal gramma, tail spot blenny, and not sure on last one) and also several colorful corals (mushrooms, toad stool, maybe a candy cane, ?) Possibly an anenome, feather duster? We'd also like a cleaner shrimp, snail. That will probably fill the tank. Lol. Not real sure on our decisions, if they'd be good choices. Here is our tank now.
