weird enough not have any pictures from water being added...
added the water (fresh ocean water) over a 3 day period and has been going through a 7 days adding bacteria period to kick start cycle...
been 2 weeks now and added 3 damsels to it with lots of food and no ammonia to be detected...

 

[Aquatica Services Pattaya]

first 2 fish are ready to be delivered...

for now only the cupramine tolerant fish (Queen..Gem..Achilles..) will be added as they should have been QT previous but in how far can you trust others so in case something is spotted cupramine will go in the system.
other fish (not so tolerant) (triggers..puffers..eel) will be in our holding tanks to monitor....
only if, in case nedded, system is cupramine free the seahorses will be added...cylinders will also be getting lots of different macro algae in there if that happens
