It’s Alive!! Kind of.

Finally set this bad boy up today. 16 gallon biocube, everything stock. Used caribsea love sand and life rock. Water was murky for a while so I stuffed the entire media basket with filter floss which worked wonders. Used dr. Tim’s ammonia Drops so the only thing to do now is wait and start testing. Sand is pretty deep but I really want a goby shrimp pair and I’m up for the extra work so we’ll see!

Looking good!!! TAKE YOUR TIME during cycling. Just when you think the tank is ready, give it more time. Rushing is the key to problems and ultimate failure.

Thank you! And will do, my lfs was telling me to just drop some clownfish in there. I’d rather do it in a more humane fashion And take my time.
