Hi all,
My tank is still in the cycling process. Waiting for the nitrites and nitrates to balance out ... *sigh*. Patience is a virtue though, I know I have some time to go. Was interesting to watch the diatom growth and die off.

In the meantime, it is a BioCube 16 that my husband and kids gifted me. It is the future home to a Peacock Mantis Shrimp I fell in love with, and the keeper is holding for us until the tank has finished cycling through. I have Caylpso’s space set up with 9 lbs of live rock and 5 lbs of other rock. A bag of live sand across the bottom and piled towards the back to give her some digging/burrowing space.
I will add more as I, well, add more.
