Captured by Salt

I've had a 15g tank since '87, it hasn't always been setup but when it has, it's been with fresh water (going now for 3yrs). Bigger tanks always catch my eye and I've planned on getting bigger tanks.

I have a used 40g breeder from a pet store that I've drilled for an overflow, a 20g that I got on sale, and have been waiting till I have space to set them up (some day I will finish the basement :) ). My thoughts have been to set up a cichlid tank and recently spotted some nice stock at reasonable prices so I thought why not. I didn't buy fish right away, I needed some more hardware first. A local university was selling some equipment and I stopped by. Instead of a couple pieces for a cichlid tank, I came home with an entire marine setup ( 33g tank, filter, powerhead, live crushed coral, live rock, corals, lights, overflows... ) . Nothing like jumping in!


So I stuck the live stuff in my 20g temporarily while I clean the 33g and build a stand for it. I planned to get started on the stand today, but spent the day cleaning my FW instead. More later...
