Re: tank 1 month old You sound just like me. I really rushed my tank though. I bought my 29gal bio-cube on a sunday, added the live gravel and filled it about 1/2 way with pre-mixed saltwater. I went back the next day, got like 40lbs of live rock that the store had been growing for like a month. I added that, finished topping it off with the rest of the saltwater, and I was back again on Thursday to grab a couple fish. I have had some ups and downs with the tank. I know I lost some fish early on because I rushed it and I added too many fish. Then I added an ARROW CRAB to the tank and that thing ate 2 of my fish and 1 of my shrimp(returned it the next day). Things have mellowed out now with the tank. By the next weekend I was adding soft corals, haven't lost 1 piece of that so I must be doing something right. The snails and hermit crabs do a kick-ass job of cleaning the glass and ground. Look for some pics soon. I just have to get my butt in gear and take them.
