Jmcdaniels 14g BioCube Build

I used a different bacteria in a bottle and it cycled my tank in a little over a week. Not instant, but definitely quicker than it would have.
 
My tank has fully cycled. I have a good out break of the uglies right now. I have been dosing pure ammonia and by the next day the ammonia is gone. My nitrates are up so I'm going to do a water change today.
 
Liking the black sand, it was a good addition to the tank. The rock work could benefit from a rework. If you could break up the rock into two smaller islands (one back left and the other front right and then bridge the gap with the branch and see how that looks? Right now it is crowding the tank. You also want enough room to clean around the glass with your mag. Enclosed 3rd grade top down drawing. Green is the branch and blue are the rocks.

Here's what I've used to scape my biocube29 and other small tanks.

1.Take that rock out one at a time and keep a bucket of water handy.
2. As you take rock out one by one break them into smaller chunks ie, 4-6 pieces fir your largest 2-5 for the medium so in so forth.
3. Put pieces in the water bucket to rinse away debris and dust.
4.re scape with your now "scaled" down rock.

You lose no weight worth mentioning and gain the ability to scape it the same way you would say, a 125g. Just on a smaller scale. It looks super cool and proportioned correctly. I've also used those bags of rock rubble as well. But since your live and cycled I'd just break it up. That branch could make some cool "pedestals".
 
They are doing well. I was worried about the Frog spawn there for a bit, it looked rough. But it seems to have pulled out just fine. Today is clean the tank day so, ill get the glass cleaned up lol
 
What have you got for trade for some blue hornets zoas and some tubs blues. I can make a pretty chunky frag of either!
