I've had the jbj 28 for about 9 months now. Went to my first meeting last month. The addiction gets stronger and stronger. It is taking everything I have to be content with my 28G. GO SLOW!!!!!! You will make less mistakes, save yourself money and livestock and will be rewarded for your patience. Research everything before trying, but do try things.

Good Luck

Yeah my fiancee got me into fish about 6 months ago. She had a twenty, now we have a 30g, 20g, 12g, and 5g setup. It is very addicting.

I'm the fiancee of MNAT, congrats on the new tank. The red coraline on your LR looks nice. Good luck with the live coral- you might want to consider asking a reefer friend to foster it for a few weeks/months if you want to keep it. Generally, when cycling a new tank, nitrates, nitrates and ammonia will spike which may kill your pretty coral. I also noticed you're also using a floating hydrometer- I have been doing this since I was 14, when there wasn't anything else but floating hydrometers, but FYI, they do not give very accurate specific gravity measurements- you might want to think about a floating arm hydrometer, they are much more accurate- just dip the hydrometer into the tank, take a reading, and rinse with ROI water when you are finished with it.
Good luck and congrats Jim I,
the "NT: of MNAT
