    Horrible vid quality.

    I think I'm going to have to buy an HD 'corder for future updates.

    The tank has been up for 2 months now. I only put the clowns in 3 weeks ago. That was all the livestock I really wanted fish wise, but, like 2 days ago my mom went shopping and came home with 3 new fishies. She meant well, but I'm going to take back at least 1 of them.

    I have a few weeks left till I'm on summer vacation, so when that comes around, I'll be building a stand, adding a sump, skimmer, and all the plumbing that goes with it. No doubt you'll be getting questions from me about those. lol. I'm also goign to be doing some major aquascaping.

    Anyway, this is the tank as she stands now.

    Once again, sorry for the horrible vid quality.

    Nice looking set up :). Good luck with saltwater fish keeping! The only thing is be very patient and stock the tank very slowly. Adding 2 or 3 fish at once to a 25 gallon can overload the tank as its still very unstable at 2 months old. I know that you want to stock it quick to have a great looking tank, but a lot of us me including made the mistake of going too quick and that leads to a tank crash sometimes. Do not mean to scare you, but going slow and steady will ensure no loss of fish and no frustration (been there ;D). Are you looking to do corals in the future?

    People should read more carefully before making comments. He said he was fine/finished stocking with just the 2 fish...his mom meaning well but not knowing got him more.
    Nice start, and the vid quality wasn't too bad. Good luck with the tank....yours is 5 more gallons than my nano is and about the same age I started my nano on Feb 4th and had more fish (I took 2 of the 5 out to cycle my 46g) than yours + I have inverts and corals too and it's doing ok except for the dang cyano.
