I think I am through (or mostly through) the ugly stage...now I have two questions that I need the sage advice of the board on...
1) Lighting. I have a 32 gallon biocube and have read many different articles on the lighting, which ones should be on at one time and it looks like they all recommend different things. During the ugly stage, I cut the lighting completely off for several days and the tank cleared up. I'm not sure if that was just the progression of the ugly stage or the lights being off that helped.
2) Right now, I have four fish, a cleaner shrimp, and a cleanup crew. Would like to add a 'beginner' soft coral but have no idea what type to add.
Thank you as always.
