Sounds good! have you cycled the tank and its just on cruise control?whats feeding the skimmer and cheato?

I had it on cruise control for a while then of course the hair alge bloom came next but it's starting to die off i just added the bulk of my clean up crew the other day so i should be expecting anothe mini cycle here soon and the of course there are tons of pods in the tank already to.

Hi Glen and welcome. I live in Bothell and just got into the hobby in March. My tank is only half the size of yours, 36g. This is a great sight, lots of friendly and helpful people. It's great for a newbie like me. I don't do anything now until I come here and ask opinions, then I try and do what's right. I wish I would have known about this forum before I started.

Well as far as feeding the tank i have some zoos and a flower pot so what ever is left over goes to the tank, and thanks for all the welcome's from everyone and if you know anyone in my general area looking for a co2 tank and regulator i will let it go for some nice zoo frags.
