    Update

    I had to take Emo Nemo back because he wouldn't settle down and was mean to the platyies, he would'nt even let them eat.

    So I got a pretty little fire fish but the poor thing died :( .

    I tested my water and had between 0 and .25 of Amonia. the tank hasn't budged off of 0 since it was set up. The only thing I've had was a little nitrate...even after I added fish (2 SW mollies). So I guess the extra food (mainlly the uneaten seafood) I gave them finally sparked a real cycle to happen. Unfourtunately the firefish was caught in the crosshairs.

    The mollies are still fine as is the Kenya tree. So hopefully the cycle will be over by the beginning of next month and we can try again with another fish.

    I used to have a 10 gallon nano. It was almost impossible to keep i put on a 24 inch T5 and i had a couple plate corals in there and i didnt have a top and a ton of water evaporated. What type of lights are in there. And my first like 4 fish died.

    I have the hood on and 1 incandecent blue light and 1 flouressent white light. So far the little coral is doing fine and the mollies...maybe should've kept the clown after all and got the mollies down to the SG of my brackish tank. and hardly any water evaporates from this tank, maybe at the most a cup a day...or so it seems.
