First SW setup: Update.

[ewurm]

The salinity is perfect, about 1.023

I added some biomedia to the filter, dumped in some BioSpira, and added three pounds of live rock. Also got two Damsels to cycle the tank. They are doing surprisingly well. I got a Blue Chromis and a Yellow tail. They are doing surprisingly well, they ate after an hour in the tank. Also, I didn't know SW fish changed color so much. They both turned a dark greay in the bag, but were back to full color after I dripped them for 20 minutes.

I will add some inverts. Right now I am cycling with the Damsels, then I will get rid of them and get some clowns. When I feel confident I may get an anenome for them, and if that goes well I may do a small reef. If it doesn't go well, I will ditch the SW setup and kill myself, I can't stand to fail.

just add them when you go into advanced and then manage attachments, and then find you pics and upload them. jpeg files are best

yea you should get some inverts. reefs are awesome, and you can still have some good fish in there too. cause fish only in a 20 cant really be monster, so whats the point? do some pretty aquascaping with corals lol
