You did what in a 4 gallon!

I have been out of salt water for a while and getting started again.  I hear that fish is like riding a bike you may but rust at first but never forget.  I want to do things by the book and not rush any aspect of the fish care.  I want to make my fish tank look so great people will say you did what in a 4 gallon tank.

I want this to be a interactive so I can make sure I am doing everything right.  So if you see any equipment upgrades or anything that can be done just let me know.

I am starting small but doing everything right at this point.  I was given from my Lovely wife Lydia a Cad Lights 4 gallon star fire glass tank.  The tank is 11 X 11 X 12 in Diameter.  The tank is amazing on my desk at work.  It comes with whit LED's and Blue LED's  for a Ocean floor feel.  The only downside I have with that is that the white and blue don't have separate on off switch to make a dusk/dawn night feel.  I thought about getting a dimmer switch or moonlights if the can fit and not look ghetto. 

So Far all I have is the tank and plugged it in.  It has the stock light pump and filter.  It came with the Ceramic media to go in the filter compartment, which I plan on putting at the bottom with the filter at the top.  The center compartment will be for my Cheato; just hope there is enough light.  I have the stock pump in the last pump. I have decent flow but worry it is not enough. 

I am using Petco Ocean water just for the initial fill up of water.  I will plan on using Instant Ocean Reef Crystals in the future. Currently there is just water in the tank.    Well it is late pictures and more to come on my little cube of paradise.  

Yes we are great.  Just my Work and school Schedule doesn't allow me to attend any more of the meetings.

Here is the tank with the rock in the tank.  I am worried about the Live rock which I got at Reef Oasis.  I had the tank sitting in my kitchen for three days in a bucket with salt water.  I had no heater or pump on the water.  Here is a layer of Utah sand followed by some Crush Coral.

I did put a 50 Watt Hydor heater so I can keep the temp stable as well.  I decided for the first few days I will just let everything settle and not do anything to the tank.  Only thing that will be done is topping off the tank, with a Culligan water cooler that we have at work.  Its the ones where its hooked up to a water link.  More details to come.
