hope you spent some time reading up on the hobby before you added water.

Many posts on many topics on Canreef already, but something specific you're wondering about?

Lets see....hummm If you all ready filled up with water, talk two pounds of live rock and a small shrimp (dead store bought) lie down for a 3-4 week take a nap and check back when you get up....You will get my small attempt of humour within the next 5 posts

Do you plan on a reef aquarium in the future? Or are you only going to have a fish only?

Here is a link to a decent fish selection that you can find at many of the local fish stores. Have a look at different types of fish and shapes that are appealing to you; to help us narrow down the hundreds of different species that are avaliable for sale.

welcome buddy

before adding anymore fish let your tank stabilize its too close to a cycles end too add anymore bio load, your system has to even itsself out and will take a few more weeks again.maybe consider getting some cleaners like snails crabs or shrimp possibly some beginners corals like mushrooms

its very important to let your system work its magic without us interfering for the first few months,monitor your water keep an eye on your livestock you have and be patient it will cost you wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy less in the long run
