Hi Christine. Welcome ! Phiu

get a tank, let it cycle while u r on vacation :D

that sounds great, let's know once u get some water flow through that chiller.

This is a slow build :D I've got time to wait, and I am pushing the temperature limits here in the summer heat. My tank is steady at 30C, I really would like to see it in the late twenties but my tomato doesn't seem to be too bothered. As for more fish; I have several blennies that I would...

Cool :p have you tested how much it pulls the tank temp down?

Tjena Peter, welcome !!

The cycle will do its thing regardless if we test or not :D - testing for ammonia nitrite and nitrate gives us good feed back from the tank so we can see what is happening; it all depends how fast your shrimp decomposes and what state your rocks are in.

Welcome Jay!!

Greatly appreciate your comments and pictures, :> I placed the order yesterday and they are due to show up in my PO box in Miami tomorrow, I reckon I'll see them here in the Dominican republic during the week-end. I originally planned on getting my lights in August, but after seeing Snids tank I...

Have anyone some experience with Current USA Orbit Marine Aquarium LED Light? I'm still in the planning stage and will eventually get some mushrooms and Zoas for my 20H, I like that this fixture is programmable and doesn't need any xtras to work...

Could not resist the tomato clown in the LFS. We went to the beach in the week end and found ourselves a CUC, mostly nerite snails, but also a few others that I couldn't ID and a cpl of hermits. The tank did a text book cycle and my tomato clown is doing great. I'll probably add a 10L tank...

Still working on placing rocks the way I want them Phiu

10 days cycling and nitrates has increased from 0 to 30 ppm :) Phiu
