The second stage was setting up the tank; filling it with water, adding salt, getting the specific gravity (salinity) just right which let me tell you for a beginner was quite troublesome because the instructions did not account for the substrate, but we made it through. We then moved on to assembling the added equipment such as the filter, protein skimmer and lights. We were up all night putting it all together but as you will soon see it was worth every pain staking step.

It took us 2 days to be able to take this picture. WHY??? You might ask! It was soooooo cloudy from the initial stirring up of the substrate (crushed coral) that we couldn't see the heater. One of the many issues that we faced during the start of a new and exciting project...oh and notice we said "exciting." Stay tuned for the next step.
