Ok, so im thinking about adding a little Polar Ice Vodka to my tank to give her a little boost for the cycle, any thoughts???

I would vote no on the vodka personally. Why not just a piece of shrimp or some fish food? I used live rock and live sand and my tank barely had a cycle after I put in a sinking fish pellet. I added my first fish after 3 weeks and I still have him.

Well, i know it is cycling, but i have seen no nitrate or nitrite spike yet. I only have high ammonia. Guess i need a bit more patience! :D

patience is key my friend! That's what this forum is for. It will give you something to do while you are waiting for that thing to cycle.

Well an update, my tank is at the last of its cycle. the mantis shrimp is now swimming around the tank. and i have a Bristleworm...... Its not too big, Inch and half, very skinny. Thoughts, get rid?? I heard they feed on corals and invertebrate, but i think people are over exaggerating, right??

Bristle worms are good guys. Leave him be.

They are good guys in your cleaner crew. They won't hurt anything.

Ok, finally charged my crap camera, here goes.
I have one Mushroom i believe, very tiny:
And then some kind of s polyp, couldnt get a decent picture though its really tiny, brown with greenish in the middle.
This is also a shot of the old tank without the MH
And then one with more rock and MH!!! :D

The lights make a huge difference! That polyp looks like it may be a button polyp.

Got some more live rock, and some hitchikers, 3 turbo's and 5 hermits (blue).
I know i have too many turbos at the mo, but i found them on my rock when i got to my house. Sucks....

Got a good sale out of the mantis.. shame, i did want to keep him, but this guy was very knowledgeable and i felt ok giving it to someone who will take care of their every need, he already had two mantis tanks up and running, and one just sitting there, so i said goodbye. :(
Thanks for the tip as well mate! :D
