Hello again guys. As i mentioned before, i got a 30L (8galon) aquarium and i am at the beginning of cycling the rock.
But lets start from the beginning, shall we?

An idea came with a friend of mine to built an aquarium which would be a bit easy to maintain.
What i bought? :
So we chose to buy Amtra's aquarium, a 8g tank,
I had a coralia 1000ltr/h to help me not have any "dead" spots
A hanging filter 850ltr/h
Fiji aragonite
Amtra Vega reef light
An of course the rock!

The problem was the shape i would have in my aquarium and i tried to do my best (Pic.1). I used epoxic glue and white chiment so to keep still the rock. .

After that i had to add the water so i used Tropic Marine salt(Video)


And now the aquarium looks like that(Pic.2)

I will keep softies only and maybe a small fish! The salinity is in 1023 and for now i got 0.50 ammonia, but i use microbe lift as bacteria.

Tell me what do you think!

For real? Because many of my friends said that its not that great and i should do it from the beggining. and i was stressed a bit..
I think its perfect for the size, get areas for coral. Looks like lots of sand bed and shelves to mount to

Hey guys, i had one question. when do you think i can add a "pair" of occelaris? My ammonia is 0 at that moment.
Corals will be added maybe in 2 months from now, but the fishes maybe?

And after a month of cycling the first of the two fishes was added!
Behold: Ampgiprion ocellaris "Fancy Ocellaris"

I also added a GSP small frag but the temperature rised really high at 30oC for two days that i was not home and unfortunatellyit is shut at the moment. I dont know if it is going to be well.
Now i got a cooling system and i found a way to add water that evaporates..

Do you think i should add another coral, or its too early? I continue to add bacteria every two days.
