Aquarium
My aquarium is finally up and running. After many long hours of research and more money than I wanted to spend, it is looking better than to be expected. The transistion from freshwater is very drastic and expensive. Below is a final list of the equipment I am currently using.
After setting up the tank and filling it with water, I had to wait for several weeks before adding anything. Waiting for the tank to "cycle" is the most important time for a saltwater enthusiast. The tank is fully stocked now with fish and coral. I will not be adding anymore fish to the tank in fear of not having enough room when they are fully grown. I will however be adding more coral as money permits. Below is a list of fish and coral that are currently in the tank.
Having a saltwater aquarium is fun but it requires much more upkeep than I had planned. After spending all of that money on such a nice setup, you hate to see all of your fish and coral die because you didn't complete the proper maintenance! More pictures of my tank progress can be seen in the multimedia section of my site.
