My first 45g Updated DIY intank fuge and pictures

I will def look into them when these start to go. Im sure im going to have to buy more dry rock also theres only 35lb in there right now. When i get my salt next week im going to do a 25% water change and hopefully that will fix my nitries or atleast bring them down a little and then maybe have to order a cleaning crew

 

The only epoxy i could find that would cure underwater is, pc marine epoxy putty. How do i know if its safe for my tank?

 

If your already using zip ties and got things tied down I wouldnt worry about it.

Only things I use is the tried and true glues: silicon, super glue gel & the 2 part epoxy I got from the LFS. I forget the name but its the 2 part red yellow stuff.

 

I only have 3 of the rocks ziptied the rest i couldnt get to. Ill check with my lfs but i doubt they would have anything.

 

checked levels again ph 8.0, ammonia 0, nitrites 5.0+, nitrates 20.

 

That's exactly where I am today, the end of week 3.

 

Do you have any fish in you tank?

 

so im trying to decide on which fish i should get and i kind of have a list of what i would like not sure if they are all compatible or not, and if there are to many for my tank.

2 True Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula),
1 Segmented Sailfin Blenny (Salarias segmentatus)
3 Blue Reef Chromis (Chromis cyaneus)
1 Red Mandarin (Pterosynchiropus splendidus var.)
1 Diamond Watchman Goby (Valenciennea puellaris)
1 Six Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia)
1 Debelius' Reef Lobster (Enoplometopus sp.)

still working on a cleaning crew i know that ill need alot more algae in my tank before i get them

 

night time leds are much brighter than i thought

 

No, it's the end of week 3 for cycling. Won't be adding any livestock until the nitrites are 0. I used a small piece of fresh-caught bass to start it.
