Cycling

Tank cycled, just add 2 clownfish and 3 coral’s. I am excited 😁

Hi ive just started my very own small tank its currently on day 3 of cycling ive used my partners live rock and ive dosed ammonia and fluval cycle bacteria numbers are already looking good ! So hopefully wont have to wait weeks

I feel like I am doing nothing right in any of my tanks. Is it because the tanks are only 4 months old?

Cycle was completed today on my e-170. Added in a bonded pair of Extreme Mocha Gladiator / DaVinci Clownfish and a Midas blenny. They are settling in well

Picking up our nano tank in the next few days!! So excited to start cycling this baby! Going to get substrate tomorrow, maybe some new corals too! Hehe 🙊

Hi everyone new to reefing. I’m in my 3rd week waiting for my 1st cycle to complete i think it’s going to be soon. Can’t wait to get started. Not rushing it.

Have fun reefers

Tank is 5 months old in this pic.

1.5 weeks into cycling and we have diatoms!

Long time freshwater guy starting my first salt tank. Just started the cycle yesterday. Hopefully I’ll have more lively pics here in a few weeks.

A week ago he was hiding in the corner… now he’s exploring the whole tank, playing with the sand, and already begging for food 😂

Still cycling the tank slowly and carefully:

✅ Ammonia: 0

✅ Nitrate: 5

⚠️ Nitrite still showing 0.25

Keeping things simple:

* natural sand setup

* driftwood & stone

* pothos roots

* low stress environment

Thinking maybe 1–2 ghost shrimp soon for enrichment 🦐

It’s honestly amazing watching a tiny Flowerhorn slowly gain confidence and personality day by day. 🌱🐠

Hello community, I’m new here, crossing over from Freshwater🫣. Got me the Hello Reef 15g AIO, then decided I needed two more 5gs to balance out my pico tank shelves- each tank has a stocking plan, but we’ll see how it all pans out. Currently each are somewhere between 3-7 days into cycling with live sand and rock, dosed with Dr. Tim’s ammonia and either Dr. Tim’s or Fritz 9 live bacteria. Hoping to add first inverts by June! I plan to get each tank set up on an ATO soon- I was looking at Fzone as an affordable solution for these smaller tanks. What do ya’ll think?
