    So, the tank is along on it's cycle. The ammonia has peaked I believe and nitrite is at about 1 ppm. Can't wait for it to be over!

    Hmm, with all of the initial excitement about this build, it is kind of disappointing that I have been talking to myself for the last few days :p. That aside, my nitrites are starting to level off and I don't think they will stick around for long so now here is my next question. What should I put in it!? Thanks guys

    I think the tang eye kinda turned people off......LOL

    Great lookin little pico non the less. A mini echino tank would be killer IMO.

    yeah I had a feeling haha, but I just had to share. And yeah that would be awesome, but I'm literally broke and looking for a job right now, and I still have to buy my LED bulbs so maybe in the future! I have to be realistic!

    Realistically, "zoa" biotope's are cheap, and serve a colorful purpose. And other softies would be neat, toadstools, maybe a few LPS frags? I guess it really comes down to the type of LFS you have and what type of frags they can carry(and the price of course). Unless your after a species specific tank or biotope.

    I've got a killer LFS actually with better prices than any place online even without shipping. They carry pretty much everything and are always willing to order what I want.

    Alright dudes, tank is cycled. I've got a small zoa rock with about 15-20 zoas on it and it seems t be doing well over the past 24 hours. I have got a bit of algae from the silicates but that will go away soon. Pics to come soon!
