I've been lurking in the corners of forums here for a couple of months and have decided to post my first saltwater tank. The big draw for me with the Spec V in particular was the fact that everything can be done in one tank with a few changes and additions.
I have a few LFS's in town and had some birthday money to use when I started this. I found the perfect piece of cured live rock at one of them.
Equipment:
Upgraded pump to mini-jet 606 for more flow (removed two ends to fit in stock chamber)
Custom media rack with 3 sections, chemipure at the bottom for now (thinking about rubble or cheato above) currently have an Aquaclear sponge on top
Custom RapidLED system with 4 CREE RB and 2 CREE NW (DONE)
In the Tank:
LFS water
4+ lbs of cured Live Rock (looks kind of like a dog from the outside eh?)
CaribSea coral
Livestock:
3 Hermit CUC (two red tips and a Blue leg) "Downton Crabbies"
Emerald Crab "Emerald Legasse"
Two Pericula Clowns "Lou and Seal"
Peppermint Shrimp
Coral:
GSP frag
How it all started:
Wet FTS
FTS 2/22 (still Cycling lots of Brown Algae)
FTS 3/7 (Fully Stocked)
