Hi all,
I setup a saltwater aquarium in december 2019. I didnt knowingly do a proper cycle.
Just a bit of background, i live on an island with coral reefs that are protected. Because of this i cannot buy saltwater fish, live rock or corals that are imported. I also cannot take coral out of the ocean here obviously.
When i statted the tank i got the water directly from clean ocean, the rocks and sandare from the beach. After a couple of days i put 15 small fish that all died probably because of amonia spike.
Since then i have added other creatures all from the wild. They have all been in for at least 2 months and are still alive.
I have tagged some pictures and was hoping i could get feed back and suggestions. Specifically in regards to the algae growing inside.
