Okay, i've set this tank up pretty much by myself. The people my 2 local stores arent that helpful, but ive found a lot of information online. I just discoverd this place, and its awsome.
Tank is about 10 days old. And everything is testing fine.
My sig shows what i have.
Just wondering where I go from here. Id much rather get answers from you guys than these idiots at the stores who are only willing to help those who have large tanks (As far as what i see at the store)
Corals? Plants?
Ive put the inhabitiants based on what i've read online etc. Hope I am doing things corectly. The people at the stores are always busy and are never willing to chat. Sucks. Thank in advance.
Im very new to saltwater fish and I feel like I've rushed into this. Im surprised my tank is doing so well (or so i think) Help me, ask me questions, so i can get a sense of what im doing.

Well you took steps 1 and 2.
1.Found this board and asked of advice from the people here.
2. Didn't let the LFS take your hard earned $$$ and sell you stuff that wouldn't work for your situation...
Welcome to the board

I say to slow down and learn like everyone here told me. I set up my 55 tank and put things in it and killed all of them. I didn't understand why until I was told that I was going too fast. Cycling lets the tank settle down so you can put things in it that create waste and have the waste fixed.
