52 Gal - Month 3


Ok, I've been cycling my rock since Thanksgiving and have recently added it to my finished display with the araga-live sand. So here it is...

I know I need more rock and that will come in time. I am starting this tank as a fowlr for now hoping to add some soft corals down the road.

Specs:
52 gal (48"Lx21"Hx12"D)
ro/2di water
IO salt
35 lbs LR
40 lbs LS
Remora skimmer w/ MJ
CLS w/ Mag7
(2) jager 150w heaters
(2) 110w VHO URI 50/50 w/ IC660

Tested this afternoon:
amonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 0
ph 7.9
kh 8

I plan on adding one each 36" and 24" VHO's. I think it's about time for a clean up crew since I am starting to see some algae here and there.

Still trying to decide exactly which fish I want to keep but for sure I want a flame angel. Any suggestions?

My CLS is a work in progress. For some reason it continuously blows micro bubbles all over my tank.
