I decided to put a journal on this forum too for the ineterest of others, so without furthur ado, I'll be keeping a planted marine aquarium - it will be aquascaped to the best of my ability from my previous learning of creating natural freshwater planted tanks. So - here is everything from September 14th to present:
-------------------------------------------
The tank I'll be using is an ADA 120p cube garden. It's aprx 70ish gallons.
I'll be using the Tek light 4 bulb 48" fixture.
Bulbs will be:
1 Geisman 11000K, 1 Giesman Actinic+, 1 6700K, and 1 10000K
The filter will be a fluval 405
(2) Koralia 1s for water movement/aeration.
Skimmer = Remora
The aquarium was previously setup for CO2, so, with research, I will continue it's function on this setup.
I put about 80 lbs of live rock in the tank last night with a 120 lbs of substrate (Caribsea Bahama Oolite).
The substrate is 6-8" deep in the back and aprx 2-3" in front...
I also have a Jebo 36W inline uv sterelizer and a Hydor inline 300W heater wich may or maynot be needed.

This is a link to the beginning of the saltwater setup I've had for a few months now:

This was the system that turned me on to marine planted because of that top seahorse tank.
