🌊🐠 New little king settling into his kingdom 👑
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. 🌱🐠

Finally, the nitrite levels dropped to zero, and at last the first fish arrived!
Did another water change to bring nitrite to 0 Zoey is happy
Everyone have a great week and keep reefing
Just did the water test after 40 hours of the addition of my Clarkii clowns, and quite happy. No measurable spike at all.
