My empty tank...

Yes I know this is a beginners tank, any suggestions?[

 

[DEEPWATER]

Welcome to MR ,,LIZ!!!

Enjoy the site ,lots of good ppl here

 

[nanoreefer22]

Possibly ditch the fluval and add some powerheads. Also a background makes the things inside the tank stand out a lot more .

mmmm.... welcome ms liz!.....:grouphug:

hey Liz welcome to Manhattan Reefs

Your tank looks like a good start. I agree with Kris, the clear background is distracting to the rest of the tank. There are some cool decal type backgrounds that go on with soap and water then peel off when you want them to. if you want the link let me know.

p.s. , were going to get you to upgrade the prism skimmer sooner or later

HaHa! These guys do turn reefing into an addiction. My tank is still on order, but I haven't read the news in weeks because I spend all my time surfing the net for reef stuff:goldfish2

2weeks till tankdown and counting

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

News? What is this news thing? I know work, family and reefing!!!! I know nothing called news.

Oh welcome to MR Where in CT are you?

 

[jenniebutterfly]

very nice tank. since you are a beginner i would suggest some type of hardy tall coral like pulsing xenia or a nice tall leather for the areas with low rock work. but your tank is very nice and clean looking

 

[jenniebutterfly]

oh and as for the news, turn on channel 2 as you are cleaning you tank and just listen to it i forgot what reading was when i got into this hobby

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Again with this news thing, reading that's what you do here to find out info on reefs right, and mag's too? Ok I know what reading is LOL I read alot of reef stuff every day.


BTW nice looking tank too sorry I forgot to mention that.

Nice tank, looks like you are off to a good start.

If you decide to stay with the canister filter and not get a skimmer, make sure you clean/remove the media on a regular basis.

Also, be check out the marketplace as people are regularly giving away leather corals, kenya trees, and xenia that would be perfect for your tank.

Welcome... i think the tank looks really good... i love the clean look display...

ur doing an excellent job... keep it up..

i started out almost the same exact way with the same exact stuff but i had a cascade cannister filter on it... and the prizm skimmer.. lolz.. and i had a reg. 29 gallon..

as nanoreefer (kris) said def. do all that (great advice man)
power head - more water movement def. a plus to have
Background - if you want to do so u can add a black or dark blue background that u can tape on or if you want to get into it u can buy rustoleum latex paint and use a 4 " sponge roller 7 coats of it lata it will look awesome.... the choice is up to u.... (and it peels off very easy.)

also think about getting urself a good skimmer if you would like, it will help the tank so much more then a prizm..

i forget are u looking to eventually put alot of softie corals in there...
