Good job man, keep us updated!As expected ammonia and nitrites further reduced in the last 48 hours. I did a 30% watcher change this morning and got two clowns shortly after.
After initially getting separated when I put them in and then hiding, they eventually found each other and are happy. They both have picked on the tiny amount of food I offered earlier.
Dr Tim rocks as does @brandon429 here. Without his threads about “new science” of cycling I would have stared at false ammonia readings for months and nitrites would have driven me insane.
I’ll keep measuring ammonia every day and should there be a small spike then it’s time for a water change.
Next week we are planning to add some GSP and a week later a CUC. Then, very slowly, add the fish we want to end up with plus more corals. The goal is, if all goes well, to have everything we want in by the new year.
Thanks everybody for their input No live rock really freaked me out so people here putting my mind at ease was great!
Kenya trees will take over the tank, so be careful if you don't want thatOur two clowns continue to be happy and yesterday our coral frags arrived.
We have a small and medium sized GSP and both are happy after a day without light (and the shipping ordeal plus dipping), a purple pavona, a green pavona (both look happy) and a small Kenya tree.
The tree was laying on its side and looked pretty sorry for itself. This morning still the same but less shrivelled up. Next thing I know the top half split off and what is left is now slowly standing up. The top half attached itself in a small hole on a rock and started opening up a little but it has now disappeared. From reading things I guess this may still attach itself somewhere and then grow?
Next stop: Clean up grew. I'm not 100% sure yet what to get so any suggestions welcome. Also, how long should we wait after having added the corals yesterday? All parameters are fine. I've also added a Seachem ammonia badge and that looks good too.
