Slowing down but another q

Let it ride man... Thanks for protecting our country....

 

I like the words in the title of the thread...;D Way to go, this is not a piece of furniture you are putting in your house, it is a eco-system that requires time to grow. As they have stated above, leave the water changes out of the question and let mother nature run her course.

Also...thanks for fighting for our freedom!

 

Be patient.

Learn to Live With It

"...As surprising as it may seem your tank will look ugly at first. This happens to all new marine aquariums as they cycle through their initial filtration phase. Your tank may go brown, and then green, and then red, and then just look junky. It happens. Consequently the one coral you really want to keep may not live. You may struggle to raise the prize fish you originally intended to acquire. It's okay; just learn to love whatever is working for you. Remember, not only is this a hobby, but we are keeping living ecosystems. Special efforts should be put forth to enjoy and appreciate what we are keeping, whatever it may be. It takes time and patience to turn a glass box full of rock into a beautiful, thriving reef tank..."

I now understand very well the GO SLOW LET IT GROW, so that's what I plan to do. If I can keep the 8g going I think I should br ok on a larger tank. Also I thank everyone who has thanked me for my service to the US.

 

Hey Skytechsc, On behalf of myself and my family, we thank you for protecting us here and far. Its not easy doing the things that you do over there and being away from your family. I'm against war but sometimes its necessary. Once again, THANK YOU. Luna

 

Week 3 & everything is at 0 except the NO3 still at around 10-12 I think the tank has cycled. What is everyone thoughts? I am going to let it be for a couple of weeks so it will grow hopefully. I have noticed a lot more living critters the last week from a small starfish to small minute snails, well they have a shell and move around on the glass just waiting to get sucked up into the filter.
