First Salt Water Marine Tank 28G

This is my first attempt at a marine setup. I have been interested in trying one for many many years, and finally decided to give it a try. I have 40 lbs live sand(Indo Pacific) 30 lbs live rock. Nano power head, Penguin 250 and a 100 filter.
This is also my FIRST video ever. So please be nice.

I would like to keep running these videos with updates as I add fish/corals etc.

For anyone wondering how hard it is to start a salt water tank, I was right there with you. This is exactly what I did to start, added marine salt to tap water, let it run through filter for about 3 weeks. I put the rock in next and let it sit in the tank for a bout 2 weeks. Then I put the 40 lbs Indo Pacific black live sand and left it for about a week. I tested everything and it came out ok!

I put 3 hermit crabs in (1 Red legs 2 Blue legs)
Today I put in 2 Clowns and a feather duster

Do you mean a watchmen gobie for the shrimp?

@bcummings8521 Sure do ! Been thinking about adding a stronger powerhead. I don't think there is enough movement.
