new 30g started

hello im josh i am new to saltwater but this is what i have started with i have about 20lbs + in live rock. some live sand and a pretty ok lighting system. i have read alot on here and its not a beastly tank but i think a good starter. i just want to see if i was in the right direction. Here are a couple pics.

 

thats a good looking start josh. what are your plans? reef , fish only? how long has it been setup?

 

it has been setup about a week. i want to do a reef. no fish for now. i really want to do Anemones and some other thing that will be compatible with them.

 

you can throw a raw shrimp in to help with the cycle. will jump start things. as far as the nem goes, they need an established tank to do well. if not , they can die and basically nuke your whole tank. what lighting is that specifically? that wil ldetermine the corals you can keep.

 

Nice tank, good start, good aquascape
