Looking good!! time to cycle! now the fun starts!
What are you planning on stocking?

Rbacchiega

Lots of LPS Corals with some softies and mushrooms etc mixed in.

1 Blue Tang
1 Yellow Tang
1 Naso Tang (will move into larger tank - 225 - when needed in a few years)
1 Sailfin Tang (I like tangs!) (also to move up when needed)
2 Yellowstripe Maroon Clowns
1 reef safe wrasse of some sort
something else maybe to keep tank looking full but not crowded
2 or 3 brittle stars
45 snails - mixed species, added in incraments
15 or so hermit crabs (again, added in incraments)
cheto or sea lettuce (ulva sp) for the fuge - both work great for tang feedings!

then again, this could change as I go along, but my heart is set on the tangs and the clowns

It's going to be great to see that live rock come to life!

The tank is done cycling...whoa lordy look out!..,.
Currently going through the drip system...7 fairy hermit crabs (all the store had left..)

Next week, the sailfin tang...it's small enough that there wont be many territory issues when adding other fish

Just how long has the tank been cycling? I may be missing something, but seams to quick..

Rbacchiega

tank has been cycling for over 3 a month. Set it up innitially in my old house, had to move, took out the water and rocks (bins full of water plus rock is quite heavy!) and used the same water in the tank when I set it up again. Also, used cured rock, very little die off. All the readings are where they should be, but I"m still going to take it really slow. Maybe a few corals first and then some fish, who knows. I still want to add the rest of the cuc this week maybe and then wait a little longer for any fish. My nano was cycled (again using cured lr) in less than two weeks and is thriving. I've got 4 corals in there, all doing great, as well as 2 hermits and 3 trochus...might add a couple more snails, we'll see.
