So it begins, I received everything I ordered,
Ro unit hooked up

now I am slowly waiting for water out of this RO unit to put into the tank.
I was able to get a great price on a new Coralife Hang on 150w MH and I also installed my Koralia 3!!! almost there once water is in

Well I am interested in a smaller snowflake eel, dwarf lion fish I want to work around either both or 1 of them. I really like anemone's and the clownfish that will host them also having a large clean up crew and maybe a cleaner shrimp or 2.
I understand some might not go together just I am not sure so its confusing :)

Well your snowflake and dwarf lion would be ok.You might want to wait a while on the sea anemone.Would watch you load with such a small tank.

wow, I wondered where my blenny went, unfortunately he didn't make it. im guessing a piece of sponge jammed in there will work?

Alright, hopefully this mod is enough and does not restrict the flow to much, dammit triga you should have said something sooner :)

So what other fish are you thinking of adding?
You may regret putting the sixline wrasse in first because he can be mean to new tank members.

I am not sure what else I will be adding.
I was interested in a flame angel some type of clown fish and an anemone to start
Right now I am trying to get my levels back down since 1 fish died it knocked my nitrites a bit up and nitrates higher.
