So I have had saltwater tanks in the past its been about 2yrs since I have had one.

Me and the Fiance just moved and well we decided to start something small, and have said we will not go bigger.

Here is our 36G Bow Front build out, has a Cascade 700 Canister filter, Hydor 550Gph Powerhead, Heater, and 36" PC 2x54W Lights for now because I had these left over and new bulbs.

All this was done on Saturday may 18th 2013

Cleaning of all the stuff before putting together:

I will be updating this as I have now added water, LR, LS, and some clowns.
 
How did you fill this up on the 20th and have fish and coral on the 22nd? Did you cycle it somehow? I hope you did something and just didn't explain? You could be (you New clowns) in for some trouble if not.

Yes sorry I didn't put this in there, about the water that I have in there is already been established, at least a majority of it. I should be fine, and I also made sure to acclimate them for a reasonable amount of time so that way they weren't stressed or hopefully not bothered in any way.
 
I'd be a little worries about a cycle if I were you. Is your live rock and water from an established tank?

Yes it is also. Got half my LR from Dan(DB), and some from the Swap show. Also got the sand from another friend of mines that had LS to give away.

I'm not to worried because I've done it like this before and it has worked. I monitor it very closely and make sure param. are as they should be. I do appreciate the concern though honestly. You can bet if I do have an issue I'm going to be on here looking for a remedy.

I will be updating every so often with param. and info just to be safe about stuff, I've been writing down all my things daily.
