    Finally done cycling. Done a water change and it's getting pretty... well, pretty. Check it out. I have a small clown, two yellow tail damsels, and two skunk shrimp. Too much too soon? Maybe. But I figure as long as I'm diligent then everything should be alright.

    I also have:

    2Koralia v3's
    1Koralia Nano
    Stealth Heater
    About 125lbs. of LR
    70lbs. of LS
    Oceanic w/d sump with a good amount of branch rock
    4x54 T5

    Has the sump thing ever happened to anyone? I put the sump under the tank, then realized that this was going to be a major drawback for water changes and almost any problem that could arise in the w/d itself. So I braced the tank and knocked out the center block. Very stupid, Very scary. But it worked and it's over now.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Went to the LFS. Not the same one we usually use. A new one, really cool! So the guy is a family friend of some sort and he seems to know his stuff. All in all, I'm happy with what he sold me. Two hi-fin red tail gobies, six turbo snails AND... my first coral... A green Indonesian mushroom;D

    pictures to follow...

    slow is the name of the game. Nothing else for this month. Starting in july I'll start construction on a fuge and maybe a few more pieces of easy to handle corals. Look forward to the help and support. thanks
