Looks like really good rock there. Great start. I hope you can avoid all the algae blooms and cyanobacteria I had to endure at the start. Seems like one thing would go away and another would take over. For a while it was these tiny snails, smaller than a BB.

actually with todays readings, it probably wont be to long. 1 ammonia 2 nitrites 3 nitrates. though just might not have started to spike the ammonia Cant remeber which one can be above 0 but still those are promising. evacuated a matis shrimp today, saw the little fugger diggin and dunked him in some fresh water, bastard came out and put the rock back in the tank. suprisingly big, probably 3/4 of an inch. flushed the bastard did the same with the rest of the live rock. chased out a couple of crabs. checked them, are good guys, put em back good news is no aptasia or whatever. at least as far as ive found so far. inspecting them with a magnifying glass. rock is suprisingly good quality. Just orderd 10 LBS more from a store down state, who gave me a much better deal than the local guy and the pics of the stuff they pulled for me is amazing! Also gonna send me some established livesand for me to start up the tank with

Shilia ill try to get pics of the tank soon for your impatient self!

only thing I dont like is that there is no switch for the night lights, always on, but i can kill either one or the other main lights, well both if need be by a switch. so thats kinda annoying but not really.

enjoy the empty tank:-)

oh, new live rock on its way!!

Thanks for the pics!!!
Those nanocubes are awesome. If I didn't already have my tank I'd love to have one.
A little 12 gallon with a great big anemone and a pair of clowns would be incredibly cool.
[Reply]

Awesome Tank. I have the same one. I think... 24 gallon aquapod? Thats what I have. Definitely wait on the anemone they are tricky critters. Awesome tank though! Im getting ready to tear mine down and start over. New sand new LR then it will be a FOWLR tank. With a small Snowflake eel, and my maroon clown.

29G Biocube from Oceanis. local guys gave me an awesome price. 250... couldnt beat it, even online!

My dads boss was saying he will give me a breeding pair of black clown fishonce iget it going. SWEET!! Dont know if ill actually breed them but from what i hear, I should because they are quite rare?
anyways,

This is fun!

I've been running my diatom filter in my tank for the last couple days. The water is crystal. Some day I'll spend the 1000 bucks to keep it that way all the time. :-)
