About Yourself:
grew up with fish, getting in the hobby now just recently.the fish brighten up my rooms and i always want to try something new or find room and a reason for more...
Fish Kept:
african cichlids are the "smartest fish"-[quote from animal planet's-mutant planet] and right away you will know why... beautiful, smart, and thousands of varieties make them a favorite to keep and breed. do yourself a favor and check them out sooner or later... you will be glad you did.
Corals/Plants:
lower light varieties
anubias
java fern
moss ball
amazon sword
baby tears
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
learn as much as you can before you commit...care for all the fish's needs and their environment keep only compatable species together- sometimes it is trial and error...doesnt hurt to start small and work as you go, you will alwzays want to try new things and upgrade anyway...filtration and water changes are critical. feed a variety of foods not just flake or pellets. quarentine new fish. spend time watching so you know whats going on, if something changed ,or for the enjoyment... work up to that saltwater tank you are dreaming about...its alot more than just adding marine salt!

Description:
Just started this marine tank, thought Id update its progress as I go.
Lots of Marine Sand, and 15KG of Live Rock to start me off, Currently running the Interpet internal filter until my Tetratec External arrives later in the week, I`ll let them run side by side for a few weeks and then remove the Internal to free a bit of space, Also got two powerheads circulating the water. Live Rock is showing signs off growth and water parameters are looking ok so far, still waiting on my spike to happen until I can even think about any fish....
What do you think of the layout?
Any changes you would make?
Any recommendations?
