After 44 days waiting for the tank to cycle, it’s been painfully testing my patience.

Wanted the tank to be ready for Black Friday for a LFS black firday sale, but time line didn’t agree.

Just pulled all inverts from QT this morning after letting a couple check it out for a day.

Clowns have been in for 4 days now and loving it.

Wife definitely helped keep me in check and not jump the gun.

Nice to see the patience paying off! Cycling can be a real test but looks like your frags are settling in nicely under that blue lighting. Can’t wait to see those colors pop once everything’s fully established!

A watched tank never cycles, isn’t that the saying? 😂

Keep dosing good bacteria i.e. microbaster7, zeobak, etc. You still probably go through a ugly stage but maybe not as bad. Keep blue lights only, short period daily for a while.if you aren't adding more live rock into tank, I would add some bio bricks in the sump. If it was my tank.
