Default Tank

How long has your tank been running?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Thumbs down Too fast

You need to slow down. If you added livestock after a week of being set you are asking for issues.

Slow down. Add no more until you watch the tank for at least a month.

If this is your first salt set up.... I can tell you patience is a virtue. If you rush it... you are going to lose a lot of livestock and money.


Take your time. It will pay off. Inverts are sensitive creatures to begin with.


Let your tank cycle for a month regardless of what your test results are. There is always possibility of die-off in the first month.

Tank has been up for over a month and a half now, I watched the cycle it wasn't a big one but still had a small one. I have been watching levels constantly and it seem to be stable so I added a small cuc and left it. This was 4 snails, peppermint shrimp, cleaner shrimp and a week later the urchin.

My black clowns are still in qt and seem to be doing ok other than weird spots which no one seems to know what they are.

I also check the levels every day and I know to be slow.
