WFire's New RSM C250!

[WFire]

That's a great read! Now I moved everything over from my previous nano tank, and from what I just read it sounds as though my tank would be somewhat established already. I had no cycle, and all my parameters are good. 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and under 5 for nitrates. 80 farenheit, 1.024 salinity. My tank has all kinds of life including pods and coraline algae. I have no problems waiting because I know this hobby involves patience, as hard as that is sometimes. It certainly wouldn't hurt to wait, but is it possible my tank is ready?

I would guess... it would be prudent to wait a few months

Here another good read...

Thanks for the advice, and I'll make sure I read that info!

I absolutely love the coloration and movement of a Fathead Sunburst Anthias. I even ordered one, but it showed up DOA

There's one at my LFS that I'm going to check out tomorrow! They look amazing and it's definitely one of my favorites!

 

[WFire]

Sorry to hear about the one you ordered that didn't make it.

You could do what I did and have twin boys. I can only find time to make it to my LFS like once a month. So, slow is my fastest speed.

You're absolutely right! I have 3 daughters under 4 so I'm not able to get to my LFS as much as I'd like either! Probably for the best! So much amazing stuff!!!

Great info from all the articles you provided me! It doesn't matter how many times I read about the nitrogen cycle or any other info in this hobby, there's always more that I pick up and understand more fully.

So I've decided after doing a bunch of reading and asking lots of questions, that I'm definitely going to get a BTA. I'm just going to be very patient and wait until the appropriate time. I would hate for the anemone to die, and for it to kill a bunch of my livestock. I really want it to have the best chance for survival.

Amazing creatures!!!

I was at my LFS yesterday and they had a bunch of beautiful fish! I know I know...that spells trouble! Soooo I decided since my tank is handling the bio load very well, I'll go ahead and make one more addition before holding off for awhile. They had a bunch that I really liked (fathead anthias, blackcap basslet, royal gramma) so I decided on a very small Royal Gramma. Such a beautiful fish! He's just starting to venture out now so I'll try and get some pics soon!

 

[WFire]

I managed to get a couple shots!

 

[WFire]

I posted the wrong photo...lol...still learning all this computer stuff! Here's the other one...I hope!

 

[Pat24601]

Royal Gramma is an awesome fish. Mine is newish to my tank and is really making the rounds well. Pretty fish.

GORGIOUS FISH!! Congrats on a great choice!!
Now, slow down & WAIT at least a month before you add another fish

Lol...will do! The tank is running smoothly and I have no other needs at this time, so I think I'll be able to stay away from the LFS for the next little while...I hope!
