My first marine aquarium of 120 liters.

It all started like this... A colleague at work bought a glass vase and put 2 guppy fish in it - "to please the eye." Everything would have been fine if I hadn't had my own aquarium in childhood, which I dreamed of. Hesitating whether I needed it, I began to get interested... I assured myself that everyone should have their own hobby, while searching for the desired aquarium size and looking at photos of aquarists. So, 1. I chose and ordered the BOYU-550 aquarium with a capacity of 128 liters according to the specifications! The appearance is stunning! What attracted me was that it was fully equipped for saltwater and at a reasonable price. 2. We ordered a stand for the aquarium. 3. Osmosis - installed, started filling it up. 4. I salted the water. RED SEA salt. 5. 9 kg of Carib Sea sand is enough, it looks great. 6. Bacteria. 7. The first inhabitants of the aquarium: 1 fish of the genus Chrysiptera and a coral named Ksyusha. Currently, the aquarium is 7 days old. Although it doesn't look very attractive yet, I am happy))) I am looking for corals and other living creatures.

Hello! Congratulations on the launch of your first reef =) but if I were you, I wouldn't rush. The sea needs to mature, go through the nitrogen cycle, then all your processes will run as they should. Since you've already introduced the first inhabitants, let them swim/grow, of course. But don't hurry! Observe the aquarium for a month, and if everything is okay, you can add new residents =) Good luck!
