Current state:
Started cycling last week with a bottle of Dr Tim's One and Only starter bacteria and the same ammonia.
I am only testing ammonia so far which hasn't seemed to move from around 1.0 yet. Not in a rush though.
Salinity is at 1.025 and temperature is 82 degrees, but this is subject to change depending on what I stock.
Stocking ideas:
I'd like to do an "invertebrate kingdom" of sorts. Soft corals, macro algae, feather dusters, lots of mysid shrimp, those mini star fish from IPSF. If you have any ideas on things that would be good for such a setup I'd be happy to hear, because I'd like at least one large invertebrate as a centerpiece.
Maybe 1 little goby or something would be nice.
Equipment:
New JBJ 15 Gallon AIO
Nicrew HyperReef 50 watt LED
Eheim Jager 50 watt
RFG Nozzle
Red Sea Coral Pro Salt
No brand thermostat
Sheet of ABS plastic for the bottom
The rest of the back compartment just has stock equipment with some extra ceramic filter media in a bag.
And am honorary mention for the Tunze Nano ATO with a pump that just broke because I ran it dry.
I promise the rock work is more stable than it looks.
Obligatory beginning questions:
That's the only way I can attach the RFG nozzle for now. I should try to make it shorter before I stock the tank right?
Anything else I need to do besides wait?
