  Notes:

  I dont trust him at all, After i got him a read all these stories of them possibly attacking small fish..dont want to take that chance.
  
  Perhaps im paranoid caus he's a carnivor and Ive got a BOYU 550, worried about territory.
  
  Currently he hasnt been destructive at all.

Going to run this untill Jan (im away most of December)

  Just gettin Started

  Posted: November 11th, 2011, 9:07am CST by Rubenvm

  Howzit Guys,
  
  Got myself a BOYU TL550 yesterday, the guy that I bought it from helped me alot in the sense that he added in a better protein skimmer and he modified the pump (aparantly the skimmer and pump were not that great as a standard spec)
  
  Its my 1st time with a marine tank and its always been a dream to have 1. I know its major work and people are frightened off @ how expensive it gets but if I want it then I gotta jump in and learn!
  
  This is what I am going to do next, put water in the tank (going to get the premixed water) with the sand and get it up to the corret temperature. Then I will add live rock for about a month and then add a pair of clowns.
  
  I plan on taking it easy and slow with this hobby, so maybe just about 4 or 5 fish total, with some coral.
  
  Is my beginning proccess correct so far?
  
  Lastly, the BOYU 550 has 2 big buttons on the roof for the lights, I know that the right side button is for the regular light. My issue is the left side button, when I push the button I see a small blue dot where the bulbs are, its like a circular dot, bout the size of a 5Rand coin...very weird!!Is this maybe moonlight viewing or what????
  
  Thanx Guys for all your help, please dont leave comments too complicated. Like I said Im VERY new to marine. Peace:thumbup:
