Thanks everyone for the good advice setting up my first reef tank. I'm new to the SW hobby and finding it really interesting. I must have spent two hours last night just looking at the tank.

Here's a photo of it, about a week old, after the second shipment. I can't thank Richard at Tampa Bay Saltwater enough both for the advice and the incredible live rock. We're finding all kinds of creatures on it - too many to list - it's a complete ecosystem right out of the box. Recommended without doubt to anyone.

My big issue now is figuring out when when my anemones are hungry. Any ideas?

A cut up small piece of fresh shrimp from the grocery store about once a week or so should do it.

Just make sure you trim the caulpera otherwise it could take over your tank.
