We have fish! The cycle happened relatively quickly since I used turbo start and PNS substrate sauce, plus the live rock and live sand. Everything’s holding out very stable now, even with the addition of my two new fish.
One clown is a tangerine clown with a bit of a minbar that my gf picked out and the other is a gladiator clown. I honestly didn’t intend on getting anything other than normal clowns, but went to the LFS and fell in love with these two.
I also snagged a peppermint shrimp who immediately took care of my single aptasia polyp and a couple different kinds of snails because…wait for it…we are entering the ugly phaaaaaaase. I’ve been keeping my lights off for the most part, but the diatoms have appeared. The snails I snagged today are already going to work on it though, so hooray!
One question though - I’m having a LOT of condensation on the lid, which in and of itself is fine…but when I go to open the lid to do anything in the back chambers it all spills backwards and out a couple of holes by the hinges in the back. Anyone in the biocube world have any suggestions for that?
