Long story onshort i had to leavemy country and i slod out evrything...not very happy coz at that time i used to have some 25-30 cm Ciphotilapia Frontosa Burundi a family of 2 males and 4 females.... anyhow now here in Qatar i start with a small 54liters planted aquarium wich looks nice...and 3 weeks a goo i bought and install a saltwater aquarium

its a biocube from Clasica, Marine Aquarium reef 108 (made in chaina) of 80 liters with back sump 3 chambers, in first chamber is a protein skimmer in second chamber 3 media basket and the return pump in the last one. I put 10 kg of dry sand and 7 kg of cured LR. The cy

Welcome to the community and hopefully you find us friendly and helpful. Nice little start up you have going. Go slowly don't over stress a new system it takes time for the bacteria to grow to handle more livestock. Only bad things happen fast in reef keeping. Watch ammonia nitrite and nitrate for cycling ammonia is extremely toxic to sw livestock.

Thanks you very much guys for the worm welcome!
Today i finaly have something moving in the aquarium, this is the 3th week of cycling and i have 0 amonia, 0 nitrite and 15-20ppm nitrate and i add 2 clown fishes (Amphiprion ocellarius) 2 astrea snails and one stone with button polyps (i guess, if i mistaken the names please corect me!)
I will try to uploade some photo of the new aditions

I feed the fishes after 1 hour of acomodation with the tank and only one of them ate some brine shrimp...the other one was passing next to the food like it was't there...and its a bit agitated more then the other one...
I hope i did't stress the new sistem to much adding 2 fishes at one time...
