Yes I am a newbie to this hobbie. I have a 75 gallon Oceanic Show tank with 90lbs of live rock. A 150 gal. wet/dry with built in protein skimmer. Two maxi-jet 1200 powerheads for water movement. A coralife 9 watt U.V that runs two hours a day. My substrate is 2/3 Argonite and 1/3 live sand. The system has been up and running for just over a month. My lighting is a Custom Sea Life PC (260w) with moonlight. I really never had a very big cycle. The tank cycled within a week... I think. There are four chromis, two small clowns, a brittle star, two peppermint shrimp and one white african anemone. All my readings have been very stable, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate between 10-20. ph 8.2. Any comments, suggestions and/or advice from those of you more knowledgable would be greatly appreciated. Ill post some pics later. Thanks ahead of time.
Welcome!!!!
Sounds like you have a very nice setup, my only comment would be that you may want to rethink the uv sterilizer if you are going to be keeping corals, they have a tendency to kill all the good stuff in the water as well as the bad.
