I bought the tank/stand from a friend of mine. I haven't really seen any others like it with the exception of the Oceanic 45. I put in a small mushroom the other day and so far my levels remained 0:birthday:. I added 3 blue/green chromis & 2 peppermint shrimp. and levels still remained: Nitrite 0, Amonia, 0, Nitrate, 0, and PH went up to 8.2. These tests were completed 5 minutes ago, while the fish/coral was added 5 days ago.
I'm very happy with the way the tank is coming along. So far, there's a pretty nice balance. I do have to say that I recently made a rookie error. I was talked into purchasing a red gorgonian two days ago, not realizing that it wasn't photosynthetic. I don't feel that I'm ready for non photosynthetic corals. Anyone interested in a trade of possibly a small photosynthetic frag? The gorgonian is small...maybe 3'tall X 3"wide. Nice looking coral. From now on, I won't make impulse buys. I'll do my research first, then pull the wallet out.
Either way. The tank looks beautiful so far (in my eyes). Thanks to all that lent me a hand, whether that be information, or helping me set up.
