After 6 hours of clunking around getting my freshwater stock and rocks out of my tank, cleaning it outside with a rag and a 2 gallon bucket of water, throwing out all of my old mechanical filtration, and finally putting the aquarium upstairs in my room and filling it with water, my first saltwater aquarium is now up and running! I want to thank Yote very much for his donation of a protein skimmer and his great advice on setting up. Many thanks Yote.
