Ok so I’ve been in the saltwater hobby for about 2 months started with a 14g biocube that I started way to fast and made lots of mistakes on but had some success. But about a week ago I sold the biocube to get a 36g bowfront. So I transferred everything over and added lots more live rock. The tank has lots to go buying corals here and there as I can afford them I’m in the 80 days no fish cycle right now due to ich

tank stock 

2 head purple hammer small

2 head frogspawn med

long green star polyps small

pink green star polyps small 

Purple trumpet coral possibly dead idk

new today two head Duncan 

and made the mistake of not doing my research and bought a fire scallop. Need to know if this scallop will mess with my 80 days no fish cycle for ich 

tank has 6 hermits 

2 snails that stay under sand

2 turbo snail

1 zebra snail

2 other kinds of snail

 

hang on back filter with polyfill 

diy small protein skimmer 

small walmart powerhead and a small fountain pump for flow till I get a wave maker 

eheim 100w heater 

HIPARGERO LED Aquarium Light – Aquarium LED Lights 30W Saltwater Lighting Touch Control 3W Cree Chips Coral Reef Fish Nano Tank

 

all my corals seem happy do weird stuff from time to time but happy took the Duncan a total of maybe hour or two to fully come out after being knocked over by turbo 

 

Here’s a shot of my tank a few days ago 

i will add a new one soon will keep updating as I get new corals and add fish etc 

plan on getting a big bullseye mushroom soon maybe a green mushroom to take over a section

Documentation  shows adding ANYTHING to the tank during a fallow period is not recommended as ich can come in on anything.

 

Are you testing the tank for all parameters? 

Corals do weird things but some are signs of unhappiness, ill health, bad water params.

I think you need to slow down again or you are going to be back in the same boat. You are making all the same mistakes. You are adding lots of things to a system that should be fallow.  

 

You are also adding things you cannot care for.......A flame scallop is listed as “expert only” for a reason.
