New Toy….. Sort of
Well ……. it’s ben some time since I posted……. Racing is going well even though it feels like were just getting started we’ve rained out so much this season….. but on to other things. I want to introduce you to my current time killer/money waster 
…….
Ok……. it’s a walmart special 55 gal (even though it only holds about 50 gals). Right now I have:
- Aqua-Tech 30-60 filter with charcoal filter pads and generic filter media
- 150w Heater
- Digital Thermometer
On order is:
- 2 Maxi-Jet 900 powerheads - for creating water flow.
- 1 Ocean Master Test kit.
Soon to be ordered:
- Nova Extreme HO Light Fixture - 4 x 54W & 4 Lunar lamps.
- Aqualight Power Center - timer to switch between day and night.
- Prizm Deluxe Protein Skimmer.
This is going to be a saltwater reef tank……. cool huh …… All I have done so far is to mix the water. I have to wait 24 hours for every thing to settle and get my salt mix right. Then it’s time to start the cycle…… 40 lbs of fiji live rock along with 40 lbs of live reef sand…….. then we wait about 3 to 4 weeks for the critters to start doing their thing…… then corals…… fish……. and stuff. I’ll post more pictures as things progress……
