well just started my first salt water tank. 30g need to get better lighting for it, the hood only has a 4k light on it. been going for a week now. not much else to say, got a few small, i mean tiny craps floating around. 1 snail, and some stuff i have never seen. like this hard purple stuff that is coming off the rocks like coral would. and some clear fan worm looking fans ( arms or what ever). 32 lbs of live rock, and 10 lbs of sand ( LFS ran out of live sand when i was there) so going to get more in a week or so when i get my water checked other then with sticks. cost 1 buck to get it check, so why not. but even after a week parameters are looking great, everything is low even when jump starting it with some food. made a ton of caves, the rocks have a ton of caves in them. the camera is not doing justice to the color of the rock though. hitchhiker snail + the purple thing on the right of the picture any advice would help since i am starting out. no sump so running 2 hobs at the moment, 15g and a 30g. heater and one water circulation pump. no protein skimmer yet, need to save some money before i buy a "good" one not cheaping out.

it will be a couple weeks

silverdale area, ill def look at it, but dos come with stand also ( forgot that) - just looked but only thing that is turning me on to the shops deal is the live rock that comes with it. not base rock, and 75 lbs is ruffly (really) 500 bucks.

hey just wanted a quick intro to my self, i live in WA, name is travis. 22 getting started in the salt water reef aquariums. read a ton, i mean actually read a ton, have 3 books down hour upon hours online ( with the grain of salt). just one quick question. 1000 dolor good for a 75 gal tank, lights, sump, pump, tubing, sand and 75lbs live rock. basically everything but fish and inverts. that a good deal? do not know the brands its all new equipment. its from a local shop, not offline. sells it at cost. well that is it, ill be reading a ton here also
