Cycle complete on the experiment! Added CUC and my first ever corals last night!! Also upgraded water flow from the nano internal skimmer to Fluval HOB- I didn’t like the space the skimmer was taking up and the HOB gives me more flexibility with carbon filtration option. Upgrade lighting arriving tomorrow!
Today, my tank reached the milestone of one year. Despite two rescues and a recovery from brown jelly disease, I’m delighted with its current appearance.

Introducing my nano tank, just recently finished its cycle 😁
The set up is complete and coming to the end of the cycling phase

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.
Fishless cycle started Dec. 1st
Today is the day NOV.8th first day of the cycle🔥
Let the cycle begin this is always the hardest part for me not big on waiting lol
Day 2 - cycling!
Finally growing diatoms and ammonia is dropping… getting closer to adding the CUC 🙌🏻
