Well, I got my Aquapod....didn't want to set it up untill the end of the summer (I love boating season)...but my 6 gal's filter started to make some weird noises so i figured i would get it cycling before the filter crashes and my son looses him beloved clownfish
. Set the tank up on 4-30 with:
13+lbs of uncured live rock, 10 lbs of Carib Sea Ocean direct live sand
my first check of the water parmeters on 05-03 was
Salinity- 24
PH 7.8
NH4-.25
NO2-0
NO3-20
Pics to come.....hopefully my tank will cycle before the old crashes!!!

well its been a bit since my last post (having some family medical problems) in the mean time my tank cycled....my brother ended up putting my livestock from my 6 gal into my thankfully freshly cycled aquapod because the six gallon crashed.....sister in law way over feed the tank while in the hospital....she meant well though.
also found alot of hitchhikers
Keyhole Limpet-at least 2
star snail
