Rookie Here

Hey guys, first of all these forums are great and everyone on here very helpful and friendly so kudos to all. I was reading posts here for a couple of months and finally joined up. Having said that here is a pic of my first SW set up. It is a FOWLR 6 month old, and I am new to the hobby as this is my first tank ever. All the tenants (listed in my signature) have been there for about 3 months no problems other than a pepperminth shrimp suicide 2 months ago (found him under the lights on the glass cover, have no idea how he climbed all the way there). I was just wondering if anyone has any insight on my equipment (also in signature) and if i need to change or add anything. All the water parameters are fine except nitrates that hover around 10 to 20 and have been like that for the past 3 months. Thanks in advance.

 

Very nice rockwork. I like that huge shell.

 

welcome to 3reef

 

cool. I like the conch shells. good job! I would absolutely think about getting some sort of skimmer. And refugiums are very nice to have when battling nitrates. Good luck!

 

Nice tank!
