So 3 weeks in and I believe what little cycle the tank did is complete. Looking pretty damn good IMO!!! Just about ready to do a good size fish order. Super excited!!!
Check out the update photo!

Beautiful! However I wouldn't be adding to many fish at once. Still a young tank and needs to mature

Wow, that was a fast cycle.

what is your QT startegy? one of the reasons i've never ordered online is because to not overpay for shipping, you have to buy a lot.
3 weeks is quick, did you go through diatoms and cyano yet?

 

[matts125]

Lol. I knew id hear about ordering fish.
I bought the rock 60+ days ago. My local fish store cycled it for me while I set up the tank.
And yes a very very small amount of diatoms and cyano. But with 4 fish and heavy feeding 3 times a day my tank is reading ammonia 0, nitrates 0, nitrites 0 phosphates .02

As for fish orders I like live aquaria. Great service and 14 day warranty. Coupled with healthy specimens. I'm not worried about the price of the fish or shipping. I will put this tank together how I dream of it piece by piece.

Good looking rockscape. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

I spent 6 on the first cycle and 10 on the second before I added bum bumblebee snails...Hope it works well!
