Beginning of a new life

Hello!...I see a lot of nitrates with no live stock? Did you use Dr Tims or somthing like that to introduce Bacteria? Dr Fosters and Smith is $10 & 25 gallon today, dose a .5-1 cup a week and cycle will be done. You still need to feed the bacteria, so start thinking fish. Good Luck

I used colony by atm. Dosed ammonia. Has cycled since last week. It’s been steady since. Hopefully nothing happens although I do expect something to. I have a clean up crew and chaeto in the tank. No fish just yet. Skimmer broke so new Skimmer is on the way.

Tank has been cycled for 2 weeks now. I have made changes to the aquascape. CuC has done crazy amount of work. Chaeto has brought down my nitrates to almost 0ppm.

I do not have a skimmer yet as it has been in the mail for about a week. I’m annoyed at it.

The reef octopus return pump is insanely good. Flow in my tank has increased a lot! Even though the jebaos are great. I do have another light coming same with one more wave maker.

My fuge is under construction! I need a DSB. And more live rock.

Alrighty guys, i know it may have looked as if i have quit and dissappeared but i have not! My tank is looking great. ive began stocking slowly and have began a build for a 220gal. While i take my time with the 220, my 65 is my heart for now. Here are some update photos

that's all I have been doing for 2 years now, new addition is, "Alexa, ask apex fusion for a status report" while staring at the tank..
