Introduction:

Hello to all just wanted to post up a little write up on my tank. Sorry if theres any mistakes or if I put the wrong things in the wrong section on here. Been thinking about setting up a tank for a year or so. I finally pulled the trigger and bought one from a friend in October of 2010. It was still set up and ready to go only thing it needed was a light. Live rock and live sand all came from his established tank so it helped speed up the process. Thanks for looking Ive included a few pics of my progress thanks to all for looking and please any info or feedback compliments or concerns let me know. Im still taking baby steps here so if you see anything im doing wrong let me know thank you.

Maintenance:

I keep a pretty tight grip on the maintenance of the tank. I do a 15% water change once a week. I like changing small quantities more often to lessen the shock on the tank. I replace the carbon about every month. I clean the glass every other day. I clean the skimmer & pumps biweekly. Change filter floss and clean sponge in chamber 1 weekly.
