oh, the fun begins. My wife surprised me with a couple devil fish.. I mean.. uh damsels. She decided they we're hungry and accidentally dumped in nearly 1/4 cup of shrimp pellets (a cat was involved from what I understand) ... Fortunately, the combination of events was enough to start the diatom bloom! 4 hours later my tank was red from the die in the food. Fortunately again, turns out a skimmer can also separate the red die particles (I've got some creepy looking skimmate fella's LOL). Looks like the damsels will be replacing the snowflakes I wanted though if they survive the cycling. Ah well, apparently the kids picked them out, and they were the ones that wanted clowns anyway *shrug*
Bonus points to the wifey.. she properly acclimated the fish, and they were buzzing happily around the tank when I got home. All without my help or input! She described each step to me So proud, LOL... now if only she would take such an interest in my car.. hah.
