blue light

moon light

regular light

 

[yote]

Your getting there.

 

[LionFish]

Great Start. keep the pics a rollin'

IMHO if you dont want to pull all the rock apart to get the damsel out I would skip it, just use a raw table shrimp, to kick start the cycle.

 

[Bifferwine]

Off to a good start. Now comes the waiting game... It sucks. Thanks for the pics! Keep us updated.

 

[NewPortRichey]

Don't do it. Don't add the Damsel! Wretched mean fish. You'll have to break your entire tank down to get him out. Do what lion suggested, put a piece of raw shrimp in there to cycle the tank. Oh, and check out the articles section here, crazy amounts of free info.

 

[cthegame]

I agree. I started with 3 damsels and they forced me to remove all my rocks to catch them. However, from your setup, it should be easy to catch since you dont have rocks stacked so tightly together making a huge tower. I dont recommend keeping them for too long because they will harass the new fish.

 

[RyanG]

Good job with the build keep us updated.

 

[jhnrb]

Great start. keep us posted. have fun.

 

[Altohombre]

pics look great, get as much LR in there as you can, at least so it goes up about halfway in the tank. Looking great so far. Your room is gonna be sweet!

 

[jcegt87]

yeah it was fun getting those damb dancels out well one atleast but as of now this is what it looks like new toy aqua c remora pro:^:

 

[Bifferwine]

Looking good man! Is that an overflow box in the corner? Do you have a sump? You could put the skimmer in the sump if you want to hide it.

 

[jcegt87]

Thanks Yeah do I really need the overflow

I have a wet dry filter dies that count as a sump

 

[reeffreak]

Nice beginning and good luck.Yeah,a wet/dry is a kind of sump.If the skimmer fits use it there instead of the display.

 

[jcegt87]

20days in and this is what i got so far

yeah i added airstone

 

[Piggy]

Why? No need for airstones. Move them out. By the way tank is looking good. Your getting there.

 

[jcegt87]

[Piggy]

bu...bu...bu...you don't need them. Your powerheads should look cool enough.
