congrats! now the fun begins, looks like a good start. I also like the background you chose for the tank, that looks cool. Should look even better when you get the new lights.
also, not 100% sure but i see an NES in that picture and i have to give you extra props for that

lol looks good to me... on a low budget? ... never seen a reptile tank light on a fish tank.
No...the light is temporary just for the picture. I ordered a 9" Coralife Mini Aqualight Deluxe Series - 1-9 watt Actinic and 1-9 watt 10,000K I should have it tomorrow
. Btw the bulb in that light is a 25w desert coil bulb they run 25 to 30 dollars
I wonder if it would do good with coral????

looks good, just take it slow as you will see some rise in nitrates as you add livestock and you have to let your bioload catch up. How many watts does that light have? Oh and good looking out on those snails. they are hard to find for me actually but fantastic for hair algae. They run about $6 a peice around here.

Hows the light...Im thinking of getting the Current USA Satellite 18w 12" Aquarium Reef Strip Light.

thanks bro
I like the light it gives the polyps good color. Your tank looks good also. I might add a stalk of red sea pompom and a few super green zoos don't know yet to many choices.
