My wife and I are new to saltwater, but have had a freshwater tank (20 gallons) for a few years. We setup our tank the first of the year and just added four snails yesterday (pretty exciting after almost two months). We are still waiting for our quarantine to cycle before our first fish purchase, but we are getting close. Here are the details on the reef tank.
This is the current setup:
1) 65 gallon DSA reef ready tank (installed in CRT TV nook)
The QT tank is 20 gallons with a HOB filter and smaller Hydor Koralia Evolution circ pump.
Here are some pictures of the tank and sump.
Thanks,
Paul and Jo
