    Default The Story Behind The Tank

    well guys the tank looks great all the levels are good,ammonia at 0 nitrites at 0 and nitrates at 0.2 so its coming back to the light, I will set up the new 60g tank next week I plan on getting 50lb of LR and a 4 inch sandbed, the water flow will be powerful and lighting right now is only 200w but plan to up-grade soon, I will let the tank go throw the cycle for about 1 to 2 months befor adding any life, but I will put a few crabs and snails in there tho, I will keep this page open for any one to tell me what I mit do wrong and I will post my weekly/day up-dates :-D


    Thanks,
    Jaime

    (fish)
    Purple Tang
    Blue Tang
    (corals)
