I am already wanting to get some but I am waiting for my tank to get completely cycled I am doing a live cycle things are staying pretty consistent as far as the water Parameters I just got test kit to make sure I can get the kh and calcium and Phosphate in line and stable before adding them.wecome to r2r! very pretty tank.
wait until you get bitten by the coral bug =)
Nice zoasso I went and got some zoan corals not sure what exactly but thought it was nice looking under the blue tent this is all open and 24 hours after going into my tank seems to be liking it.
I also picked up a skunk shrimp to clean up the excess food my clowns don’t eat. I have 4 blue legged crabs for my cuc I still have some extra pellets and frozen food on the sand bed so I need to get more cuc I think. Waiting for my tank to cycle from what I added before I add more though. Any recommendations?
I can rub it off easily with my finger yesThe brown stuff? Looks like either diatom or cyano. Does it come off easy?
Looks like the beginnings of the ugly phase. Completely normal.
Ok yeah, some kind of slime bacteria or algae. New tank will go thru a few cycles of then as millions of microorganism in your tank is jostling for nutrient competition and dominance. So will have many ebbs and flows and blooms and dieoffs until they all reach an equilibrium. Thats when we call you tank as finally "mature"I can rub it off easily with my finger yes
Thank you for the info. It is much appreciated I was told something would eat it but not a snail. It was something else.Ok yeah, some kind of slime bacteria or algae.

Depending on a lot of factors - how much you clean, how often you add new things, change stuff, feed stuff, equipmwbts..etc. honestly too much to list, this maturation process can take 6month to 1 year to reach.
