Still Waiting.. ;)


Well I replaced my substrate, added new rock, reaquascaped my tank and waited paitently for the sand to clear. Now I sit here and wait paitently as my Ammonia drops. I am reluctant to do Water changes until I recieve my RO/DI unit within the next week or so. So my Green Hair Algae is rampant!

Ammonia is pretty low concidering the Marshall Island still had another week left of Cycling. Maybe one of these days I can get this darn Hobby right . Hehe

Scrape hah


What do you think I do every day when I get home from work in the mornings *snicker* I scrape that glass more than anything else that deals with the tank *grin*

Woe is me

looks good! waiting is ok, since you know it's not going to stay that way. Before you know it that tank will be brimming with life! Looks like your doing it right from the start, good for you. I forget, what size tank is it?

Its a 50 gallon. Hoping to get some good growth and a few hearty corals before I go the big MH. Should be fun.

Whats wrong with algae in your tank?? It gives that 'recently cycled look' and personally, green is my favorite color.

Looks like youre doin' it right!!

You are off to a good start. Your patience will be rewarded with a nice happy and healthy reef before you know it.

Good job,
Andrew
