I have decided to start from day one with the diary. I bought my 12 gallon JBJ to start my saltwater "career".
Here are my specs.
Filtration
First Chamber: Sponge on top with 1lb. of live rock underneath it. Heater on the left side of the chamber.
Second Chamber: Sponge on bottom with activated carbon on top of that.
Third Chamber: 106gph stock pump.
Equipment
Stock lighting: 2 50/50 24watt lights with 2LEDs.
Top Fin 50Watt heater.
Here is my first pictures of putting my salt in at all three angles.

The cave...sorta small but it'll do.

I love this overhang

I havent' found anything come out of my rock yet except those worms with the web that they use to catch food.

 

[airforceman]

not that i'm gonna get 'em now but does anybody have any good ideas for a clean-up crew?

 

[scubaguy]

If you are going reef, stick with snails. Maybe a emerald crab but no hermits. The hermits when big like to know things over

Thanks, I am going to the LFS today to get Bio-Spira and get my clean-up crew on wednesday.
