It looks like your off to a great start great choice on frags.
How long did it take for your tank to run the cycle ?

Make sure you have enough lighting. Tank should look really nice in a few months.

The tank cycled in about 10 days. I used around 8 lbs of LR and 5-6 lbs of lifeless rock i had from a previous FOWLR tank.

For lighting i have the coralife 96w quad fixture from hellolights. I like the output of it, but hate having to take the fixture off the tank and set it on the counter to be able to put my hands in the tank. Oh well :rollface:

Looks like a very good start man...Buy some tongs though so you don't have to put your hands in your tank. I am sure I speak for everyone hear when I say, good luck and keep us posted. :)
