    Hey Folks, Been doing FW for sometime and thought I would finally give in to the wife ::) and start a SW tank. Have loved coming here and learning all this stuff.

    It's a 20g. started it 5 days ago with the following.

    40lb live sand.
    20lb live rock, cured by our LFS.
    Pre-mixed water from our LFS.
    Fluval 205.
    1 Koralia 1
    CoraLife 50/50 65w.

    Still kinda mucking about in the tank arranging rocks and such. Gonna have to stop sooner than later;D.

    So, let the fun begin:cheesy:.
