I dunno what exactly I'll do, but I need to figure out something in a hurry.

 

If the tests are still good tomorrow morning, you can expect the first fish in the tank tomorrow night. And snails, that turf algae is starting to grow. Tome to add the chemipure!

Dunno yet. Goby most likely. have to see what's in stock and compatible. Might get those SPS frags too.

 

I know the tank has only been up for five days, but the rock was pre-cured and cooked for 3 weeks. Hope I'm not rushing.

You should be okay, there's more than enough water to add a few things at a time... if something goes wrong it's small enough that a quick water change shouldn't be a problem.

 

Looks good though :)

Thanks new guy.

 

I'm just not used to a tank having no cycle. I guess this rock *did* cycle, just in a bucket. It's a new frontier for me.

 

Also confirmed with the wife, the 120g SPS will start this year. Going bare bottom :D

Alright confirmed straight zeroes again in my water tests this AM. Dumped the ChemiPure into the filter, and going shopping tonight.

 

Might still be able to pick up those frags too!

Okay, livestock added.

 

Emerald Crab

Peppermint Shrimp (just in case)

5 Red Stripe Turbos

5 Cerith Snails (only 2 of which are moving, grrrr)

Purple Firefish

 

My daughter picked the FF, so I've thrown some acrylic strips along the front and back of the tank. Not saying it couldn't jump, but if it tries it should be bouncing off the light fixture :D

 

Also picking up those frags on Saturday.

 

Made fish food tonight. Kitchen smells like low tide.

Blendered up with some RO/DI and then frozen in flat packs.

I have enough jerky for all the FanBus riders.

 

Up here in Soviet Canuckistan, I get a pizza from Panago that I just lurve. It has pesto instead of tomato sauce, roasted red peppers, spinach, red onions and sun dried tomatoes, 4 cheese blend and a multigran crust. Oh yummers.
