Re: Let's watch my new tank grow

Welcome to RS! Your pre-planning and research will serve you very well, but as has been said here, patience is vertue (as hard as it may be to resist). Many of us waited months before adding fish, partcularily the species you want to add. Flame Angels are sensitive and need a more established tank (i.e. over 10 months old)

Your set up looks great, your parameters are progressing nicely and I give you cudos on your rockscaping. By the way, the "tissue or flesh" that you described that you scrubbed off the rocks is sponge. This is a indicator of healthy rock. It is a good thing that you scrubbed the rocks as sponge typically is the first thing to die off on the rock in shipping, so now new healthy sponge will grow on the rock. This is a GOOD thing.

As has also been said, a good protien skimmer will be the first thing you will want to add to your system. It is one of the most important piece of equipment you will use for your biological filtration. All the best to you and I look forward to watching your tank grow!
