    4 days after adding clownfish, ammonia and nitrites are still reading 0, nitrates at 10. PH is 8.4. I'm happy the parameters are holding steady

    It helped speed my cycle up a ton.
    Thanks... those are just crappy cell phone pics... when I really get into picture mode, I have a Canon T2i and 100mm f/2.8 L macro lens that will blow those out of the water. Also, the rock scape isn't quite done yet... I wanted to save room for rocks that have corals already attached. :) And those clowns should look great, they've been chowing down Cyclopeeze all week lol

    These look amazing! Awesome scape too :). I should be getting my first fish this next month or so (also common clowns). I'm so excited!

    Thanks... some of the scape has changed, but the 'cave' has always been there. It was the *first* thing I did to the tank.
