Here’s a picture of the new saltwater aquarium. So far everything is going well. The tank is still going through the biological cycle. Hopefully next week we can add a nice fish or two. The nitrite level is still to high to take a chance. I tried the product Bio Spira to try and speed up the process. It seemed to bring the ammonia level down quickly but not the nitrite. Patience is the name of the game right now. We still need to get a few pieces of synthetic coral to give the setup some color since for now we’re going to go with a fish only tank rather than a live reef set up.
Here is the equipment so far:
75 gallon glass tank with wood stand.
1 48 inch coralife strip light
2 Rena 175 watt heaters
2 Marineland C-360 canister filters
100 lbs Florida Field Rock
50 lbs crushed coral



One of the guys that works for me gave me a 75 gallon aquarium with stand a few weeks ago. We set it up about 10 days ago. For now we’re just going with a fish only tank rather than a reef setup. The reef setup is beautiful but the initial setup up cost is much more.
