Very curious to see how this works out, if the BPC-157 really helps that much! Glad to hear that you seem to be okay, hope everything goes well.

Picked up a Lawnmower blenny yesterday! He has been super happy in my tank, munching on algae al over the place within about an hour after acclimation. I’m glad I stacked my rock with lots of small caves and channels through the rock like a little blenny subway, and he’s already cordoned off a...

Picked up this guy at our local petco, he looked miserable and was basically all brownish purple without any color in the face. But he was $10 and I had a newly cycled empty tank, so I took the advice of the late great Jake Adams and added some coral early on. And to be honest it’s been nothing...

Cycle finally stabilized, tank is looking good! Well, as good as it can look with diatoms in full swing. I picked up a cheap zoa frag, just to get some life in the tank, and it has surprised me greatly! It was just a simple bland looking little cluster of polyps, but within about 20 minutes in...

Love the color, great looking specimen! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Forgot to post the day 7 test results so here they are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

thresher the app is called pocket marine, i test with the API saltwater test kit, and i have a Hanna for my nitrates. I need to get a better test kit that isn’t a color test Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick post of yesterday’s results. My nitrates were VERY high and I was a bit scared I’d stall the cycle, as they were well above 50ppm so I did a partial water change, and I’m hoping this helps. Probably going to go get another bottle of fritzzyme turbo 900 to bolster the bacteria. These are...

Day 5 test June 18th 2024 Ammonia has finally hit zero! My nitrates are also sky high now, and it seems like nitrites are going down aswell, although this API marine color test isn’t the most accurate. This Hanna nitrate checker is awesome, can’t wait to get some more of these babies! If you’re...

Day 4 June 17th 2024 Nitrates are skyrocketing, my nitrite test only goes to 5 so it could be crazy high as well for all I know, and my ammonia has dropped significantly. Hoping the trend continues with nitrites soon. I still haven’t seen a spec of algae, which is good I suppose but I wish there...

Day 3 Test June 16th 2024 I’m starting to wonder how far will the nitrite and nitrate go before my ammonia drops below 2. I’ve been dosing microbater 7 once per day, and other than the initial dose of NictroCycle by Algaebarn, I haven’t ghost fed the tank at all. So is the consistent 2ppm of...

So let’s hear it guys, what’s your go-to foods for your fish and your coral, dry food, frozen food, pods whatever you’re using I want to hear about it! Is there a brand or a type of food you have something to say about? Starting to get to know a few of you guys, and I’d like to meet some more of...

Day 2 test #2 June 15th 2024 I was curious to see how much changes in an 8 hour period, so I did another test. Seems like the cycle is happening! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Day 2 test results June 15th 2024 Things are looking good so far I think? Patiently waiting to add a beautiful pair of clowns. Thinking maybe some black ice or Picasso. If anyone knows a good reputable breeder that sells bonded pairs please share! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If David doesn’t pull the trigger on those Hanna checkers, I would be interested if you don’t mind mailing them to me, which I would pay for of course. New to the hobby and still need alk and phos test kits. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@shootingstar no it’s not glued, I considered it but in the event something grows too large and I need to make adjustments, I can do that a bit easier. They’re all stacked in a way that’s pretty stable under pressure from a couple different directions so I felt ok. Sent from my iPhone using...

First water test June 14th 2024 I still need to buy test kits for calc mag and alk, but was told it wasn’t as crucial while cycling. Thoughts? Also recommendations for good alk calc mag test kit would be appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So here is the first few photos of my 22.4 gal AIO I’m setting up. This is my first saltwater tank, and my first aquascape so go easy on me lol. Would love to hear tips, tricks, or advice you have for me as a new reefer. Cycle started last night, using Fritz and the algae barn ammonia, with a...

So im not quite set up yet, but will be within the next few weeks, and ive been looking at the frozen Armageddon zoa form tidal gardens for a long while. But i missed my chance. so im just asking around, hoping maybe one of you guys possibly picked one up and would be willing to sell me a frag...

I know i dont NEED it to cycle, i was wondering if something like that would boost the cycle and help it be more stable, without hurting the colony that came on that LR. How does cycling with an empty tank work? would the bacteria just host in the main water column only? i thought a majority of...
