So my tanks cycled, got some inhabitants and a CUC, couple fish in QT and was messing with the camera while doing maintenance today. (That's why it's a bit dirty in some shots). First time with an aquarium or a video camera so go easy on me. BTW most of the colors are way off. Looks much nicer in person.

After ALOT of reading and planning - me and the girlfriend built ourselves a stand and settled on a 40 gallon breeder as our first tank. We got it cycled and picked up a few things along the way (mostly from friendly locals). Saturday we picked up a pair of ocellaris clowns from a reputable LFS and got them QT'd. Still working on the aquascaping and finding the corals their happy places - think Ricky's happy where he is. All in all, things are going well and we're fairly happy with the tank so far. :)

RC had a big hand in the success of this tank so far. Hope you enjoy the video - it's my first:

Cool. What kind of lighting do you have? I like the yuma!

I just have a 2 x 39w T-5 fixture running 1-12k and 1-50/50 (stock bulbs). I'll stick with the easiest softies for now so it will do me fine (except bulbs). And by time I'm ready for something a little tougher, hopefully, the prices on LED's will have dropped significantly :)
