    Hey guys, my tank finally cycled and things are going well. I need to bring the damsels back so I can start with my other fish. The corals are doing well though and all params are still perfect. I took some pictures with different lights on to so you can see how much the lights change how the tank looks. Cant decide if i like the aqua-scape let me know if you have any suggestions!

    about a month, then i tried to clean up most of the diatoms since it looked terrible after that. My clean up crew has been doing a pretty good job as well.

    its coming along nicely. i think you wil lneed more CUC in there. more along the line of snails. but looks good under the different lighting. any idea whats your 1st fish gonna be after the damsels are evicted?

    Looks pretty good to me. You might want to get that miniature container of orange juice out of the tank, though. :)

    I was thinking two small ocellaris clowns and hope they pair. Then down the road some kind of goby and then go from there.

    the clowns would be a good fish to start with. hardy little ones , member of the damsel family i believe. and they should pair up , and when one grows bigger, it wil lturn into the female and boss the puny male around. :)
