Default My tank odessy

Well after lots of planning and a couple of false starts over the past couple of months my tank is finally up and running I took my old 33 gallon fresh water tank cleaned it up then proceeded to aquire stuff I needed and with the help of a friend who sold me some stuff ended up having a great start

my tank stuff

33 gallon standard tank
25 lbs live rock
30 lbs sand and substrate
Aqua c remora-s Hang on skimmer
powerhead 850gph
100 watt ebo jager heater
LED lights --- Home built kit


Now I had a major problem with where to put my tank due to the fact my house is very bright ended up changing some curtains and gave myself a darker corner but it worked set up my tank filled it with the sand and rock and a day later was looking good



then the wait began after 3 long weeks my diatom bloom came and once the bloom hit my tank started turning brown



8 long days later my tank was more brown than white and the bloom was finally over got my CuC and this was the day I put them in my tank



7 days after getting my CuC its looking better and now second cycle is just beginning and this is my tank today



hopefully in about a weeks time will have my fish in there then coral soon after

Hope you guys like what you see so far

Thank you
