**Update**

Cycling Complete..

Nitrates @15 ppm. If things stay steady will start introducing some LPS then some easy (ier) SPS, have 2 part dosing ready to go...

Ended up getting a DP-2 Dosing pump as well.

Stock - Yellow Goby / Tro Snail / Strom Snail - Waiting for my snowflake clown pair (just a bit too small so have to wait 3-4 weeks or so

Currently creating a zoa garden (see pics) just growing some of the polyps out and then will create the garden. Just need to acquire some blue/bright aqua polyps and I'll be happy.

loving this - set up looks great - what dimensions are your sump?
just in the process of converting from FW myself - following!

Sump was what Aqua one provided (once water is in there are two sections) Left section is 19cm wide / 40 deep and 40 high (however when water is full fills up to 23cm)

Second part is 14cm wide and fills up to 19cm

Hey Guys

Heres the update, added a bunch of Zoa's and a few blasto's / acro and few bits and pieces, oh and a couple of pm shrimp. FYI some of the zoa's just closed up because my strom snail decided to go sliding over them around 5 mins earlier!

Really want to add my snowflakes into it, however when I fed reef roids, my nitrites spiked a bit to 0.2-0.5 ppm, nitrates hold steady at 10-20 (upgrading refuge light, to a DIY one with blue/red led's (1:3). Ammonia holds steady at 0.

I keep my DK at 9.5 (and we loose around 0.5-0.7 a day) mag at 450 / mg at 1350. Currently dosing manually, haven't had time to set up Dosing pump).

Would you guys throw the clowns in yet? Or should I wait a little more.

DK I keep at 9.5 (loosing 0.5/day) // Ammonia - 0 // Nitrite = 0.2 (After reef roids, will stop using this until I stabilize a bit more) // Nitrate - 10-15 // Ca = 430-450 // MG - 1350-1390
