It's the freebies that excite me! Good deal

 

[Bearchumjs]

found a baby brittle star last night and a pistol shrimp

That is so cool! I hope they survive the cycle. I think they will.

 

[54seaweed]

got pict of brittle star today
coming on day 5 of cycle
ammonia is already dropping fast
went from 4.0 PPM to 2.0 PPM
it's getting there a little faster than I thought it would
can't wait to get my cuc going

 

[54seaweed]

checked ammonia today 0.50ppm day 8 cycle so I think I have a day or so till it's completely cycled
As for my CUC I'm thinking 6 large scarlet's and 6 large electric blue
not sure what snails I want yet

 

[bigbanker]

Whoohoo almost done!

 

[54seaweed]

the hardest part is the wait!!!!

 

[bigbanker]

You are so right!!! I applaud you for the patience.... I know I don't have it! On my 40b I ended up doing fish in after only two weeks

 

[54seaweed]

well I have plenty of tanks to keep me busy in the meantime

 

[54seaweed]

Well day 9 is here just got done testing

The cycle is now complete (YIPPIEEE)

[54seaweed]

Did a WC this morning and ordered the start of my CUC
