hello from Alberta

Welcome fellow Albertan! I lived in Calgary until I was 20.

 

Another albertain, I'm living in fort McMurray, welcome to 3reef

 

Welcome! I'm a transplanted Newfie living in California. My brother is presently working up in Alberta. Small world.

 

Here's a few pics of my setup, I plan on rearranging the rocks one of these days. It's pretty frustrating trying to get them set up nice, as I'm sure you all know!

Still waiting on lights, I have 2x 120w (20") Maxspect Razors on order that should be here in two weeks hopefully.
Advice always welcome!

 

Copied this from my post in Id this, thought I'd put the info here too.


Just finished a water test, and for the first time I'm seeing a slight amount of ammonia...

Ammonia 0.6 (usually 0.1)
Nitrite 0.1 (has always been same)
Nitrate <5 (has always been same)
Phosphate 0.25
Calcium 540
Ph 8.25
Sg 1.025

Temp about 80 F

I had the live rock in rubbermaid tubs for two weeks before I was able to add it to the tank. The big pieces were in a tub with a powerhead and heater, the rubble pieces were in a tub with a powerhead but no heater.

Water and live rock have been in the tank for just over 3 weeks, and fish for just over 2 weeks.

 

Looking good.

Creating a scape can be extremely frustrating.
