In that picture yeah that is my dottyback. He popped out while I was taking a picture of the pod condo. The neon goby was in the rock work so couldn't catch a pic of him. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well I found out that the weird thing was an asterina starfish. Which I don't mind. If they get out of control I'll deal with them then. Also saw my emerald crab for the first time in a week so that was exciting. And added the last of my livestock with a neon goby and a skunk cleaner. Let my...

Can someone hep me with identifying what this white thing is. Looks like some weird slow moving slug. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Tank is cycled and diatoms clearing up. Added an Orchid Dottyback to start and then after testing the water again added a pair of clownfish. Been keeping up with water changes and just giving it a couple more days before I get a Goby to complete my fish collection. Have 2 peppermint shrimp...

Great to see diatoms in the tank. If I've read right that means I am getting close to the end. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm glad I came across this. I'm working on my first fowlr bio cube with my nephew and was honestly feeling overwhelmed when trying to figure out what food to get but this will be a million times easier. I'm sure I can find a cheapo food processor rummaging this weekend to use. Thanks for this...

Another week of the cycle and we finally got some nitrites and trates showing up. We also picked out another piece of live rock at the local pet store but got something on it I hope someone can help me identify. It's a bright flower looking thing. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Greatest part he is a sponge. His mother asks so now we can put a Nemo and Dory in their. Her son goes no we can't. Only a clown fish no tang because it will be squished and we have to wait for the cycle to complete to ensure the water is good for the fish. Now that right their is how you bring...

Water is cleared up and the cycle has begun. Added one piece of live rock for the kick start. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

First day of build up is done and so far so good. Nephew was a sponge and explained the cycle process to his parents as soon as he got home. It was great knowing everything I taught him was soaking in. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I am sure this may change but I am thinking about what shrimp I want to include in my tank so wouldn't mind some insight because I've come across mix results on various forums when researching. I'm wanting to add a Randall pistol shrimp as I understand they are the least aggressive, a skunk...

Thank you chefbill for the insight and pics. You are correct about the lights. I do plan on replacing or upgrading to LED in the future but right now I'm not really interested in any type of corals I till I get the hang of fowlr first especially since I'm starting out. I did buy a light for the...

Rock and a majority of the rest of the equip arrived Friday. Rock looks great. Unfortunately the salt pail got damaged and was returned but Amazon paid for overnight shipping for the second shipment so should arrive Tuesday. Look forward to getting everything situated tomorrow while waiting for...
