    I have just started with this new hobby. Oh boy what fun. I am attached a pic of my tank. Please just remember I am just starting, in my 4th week, any help would be greatly appreciated. 20141214_204256.jpg 20141214_202052.jpg

    Welcome to 3Reef

    Looks to be a 29 cube?

    NIce start. Take it slow, don't add too many fish, and not too fast

    I am going to wait a full 6 weeks before I add fish. I can just tell you it is 65 gallon tank.

    A little suggestion before you get going, the rocks by the glass will make the glass hard to clean. If you can move them you'll be glad later. Looks like it'll be a nice tank. What do you have for filtration?

    Welcome to 3Reef. I as well have just started my system up and the folks round here are fantastic. So, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask because they have a wealth of knowledge that they're willing to share.

    I agree that you should try and leave a minimum of 1.5" between your rocks and the glass if possible. Otherwise, I like your rock placement. Looks like you are taking it nice and slow, which is great! Do you have any specific questions?

    +1, are you looking to keep any coral? Have you planned for any power heads? Do you have a schedule for water changes yet?

    Yes I will be getting corals. It was my understanding not to get them till tank is finished cycling. I don't know if that is true or not. I would like to have the coral on the rocks. I am also thinking change water once a month just taking one gallon out and refilling with ro water. Is that correct?
