Just got my first tank started. :joy: It's a 24 gallon with about 6lbs of LR in it. I'm going to get about 15lbs more of LR in it eventually. I like to get a 50 gallon and make this my test tank. Havent decided what fish im going to put in it yet. Hopefully these pics will send. Hehe

Looks like a great start!
Have fun with it, and go slow like larrynews said.
P.S. Be careful, this hobby is very addicting.

I got more rock for my tank. Its a 24 gallon and has 24 lbs of LR now:) Something is on the rock, looks like a green cacoon. You can see through it. I got a pic, not a very good one though. It's about a inch long.

Ya, I'll have to start going to saltwater AA meetings soon, hehe. Oh ya. The fish store I bought the rock from said I could bring my water in so they could test it. They said it was free, but shouldnt I just buy my own kit?

Yeah i would buy a kit. I use kits for about 3 or 4 months. whenever i feel like the tank is established. then i check every once in a while to make sure everything is on track. Good luck and congrats on being a Saltwater addict :cheer:

My LFS does the same thing, but I bought my own test kit becase its so far away and I'm not able to get there every week or so. Not sure what the cacoon thing is. :notsure:
