Been setting up a 3'x2'x2' Marine tank
Submitted by Walfootrot on Sun, 2014-11-16 16:07
Started setting it up about 8 weeks ago, put 45kg of live rock in and let it cycle.
Last R&R added some shrimp, fish and corals.
Need to get another 15kg of rock so I can scape it the way I want, early days but its a start.

A lot of work maintaining
A lot of work maintaining them if their not set up right.
Bit of work to set them up, cycle them.
Once this tank settles it will only need feeding twice a day and 15-20% water change every 2 weeks.
Protein skimmer gets a clean out once a week.
Check ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH, SG KH etc once a week once its stable.
Coral foods etc are done via a dosing pump.

The pair of cleaner shrimp
The pair of cleaner shrimp cost $300, you would need about $3000 for a cocktail Johnny
