Zoo med when called promised it wouldnt harm the water. Non toxic. Im keeping an eye on them and will pull them if anything funny happens before i add the fish

Ok! So we are nearing the end of the cycle! Finally! Nitrites are at 0, amonia is at 0.25, nitrates are at 0.25! Im giving the tank a couple days to make sure nothing spikes but we are looking like our first fish will be added this weekend!!

No they dont, actually theyve been perfectly kind to my water.

Today was the big day. After the 3rd day of good water tests i added a pair of platinum ocellerus and a fire shrimp to the tank. I also replenished my pods. Added a new glass top. Photos once they feel more comfortable in the tank
