So im in my 3rd week of cycling my tank and seems as if my cycle is over by the 2nd week. I got some ceramic rings and live rock from a buddy to seed the tank and seems as it took off quick. Ammonia and Nitrate zeroed out in a lil over a week. Id add Anmonia and by morning its gone. Nitrates at about 20 ppm and planning on first waterchange this weekend. I have algea starting to grow for last week hope this doesnt invade my tank. Probably time for a cleanup crew or something.

Love the scape.

I always tend to run heavy GFO while cycling. I don't use it normally, only cycling.

Yeah i know right. I actually put a GSP frag in it yesterday just to see how it will do fir next few days. Also pickin up a beautiful pair of DaVinci and Snowflake clowns today. I have a bunch of high end favias that boy is watching for me. Im going to slowly start introducing them in the following weeks. Dont want anything to go wrong. Taking my time and being cautious this time around. Be posting up some pics soon.

What lights did you end up going with ?

 

[Branespikin]

I kept my Radions xr30s. Still thinking to upgrade to Gen 4 xr15. If i find buyers for my 30s

 

[Branespikin]

Well sold my lights didn't expect that to happen but it did. Ordered xr15 pros gen 4. Added a frag of GSP just to see how it goes. Got my first fish too. Very excited!

Nice setup! Is that the nyos 120 or 160? How do you like it??

 

[Branespikin]

120. I love it. Dead silent and it pulls out some nasty stuff. Highly recommend it
