well, i have been lazy and havent tested my water in a while. so right now i dont know if the cycle is done or not. but anyways, i just wanted to say that i might ditch the clowns for this tank.
so the fish i know im going to get is a clown goby. i might get one black and white percula.

not yet. :mad:
but im sure its getting close. i tested a couple of days ago, and it seemed that the nitrites were at 5, so im thinking that was the peak of the cycle.

its almost been a month, and still going through the cycle.
but whenever its finished, i was thinking of not getting a clownfish at all.
i thought i would just get a clown goby, and thought, could i possibly have two yellow clown gobys in a ten gallon?
also, some sort of algae growing in the ten gallon. sorta looks like cyano, but its only little spots. will get pics of that up soon...

I think you should definitely stick with it. You have done a great job. Look back at your posts and see all the time you put into this. Don't do that.

well well well. i tested the water this afternoon and all the parameters are perfect! i had gone to the LFS yesterday, and they didnt have any clown gobies, but at the time i didnt know the tank was cycled, so i wasnt really looking for them anyway. BUT, i shall take out weird algae that has grown in some dead spots, and once thats done, i might put in a green striped mushroom thats not doing to hot in my display, and see what happens in the ten gallon.
no picture updates as everything looks the same, but i will take a pic of the mushroom once i put it in the tank tomorrow...

Did you ever finish or did you give up? Been a while since i looked at this thread just wondering how the tank came out.

well, the display tank (58 gallon) has been keeping me REALLY busy, and the ten has been getting neglected. i have it for sale at the moment since i need to save some money.
the 58 is a pain the the @$$ since my 3 month old bulb broke in my tank.

thanks, and yes, quite a bummer. right now its at 150 dollars and no offers, so i might just tear it down and store it somewhere for another time when im ready for another tank. maybe next summer.
