So 2 months in. Tank values seem fairly stable. Still a bit if GHA but my 2 sea hairs and lawn mower blenny are keeping it in check. Ordered a duel reactor (on the way); LFS talked me into adding a bubble tip anemone. It seems to have found a happy spot and looks really good. I have read that not a great idea for such a new tank so I hope things work out. I have a pic:



A couple if frags are growing so must be doing good:



And the new tank mates :

Im building a very similar tank and was wondering if you just placed the live rock directly on the base of the tank and added sand after, or if you placed the live rock on a base.

Hopefully the Aneome works out. However a new tank fluctuates quite a bit (regardless of our testing). Usually a good 6 months should pass before you add an anemone.
Here is a bit of info to get you started, there is more but it is not geared towards a beginner.

Congrats on the new tank BTW!
