did you build the stand yourself ?

 

[CollegeTyler]

No, its a marineland stand. I got the tank and the sump by trading an old iphone i had laying around. Such a steal, but the guy wouldnt come off the stand, im not sure what he needed it for, really wierd since its a specific stand right? lol but i ordered it from my lfs

very nice

 

[humaguy]

looks great but reconsider your planned stocking list...as your current tank is not big enough to handle all those fish...

I agree, far too many large fish. They may live (never thrive) , but you can expect serious aggression from fish that normally get along. Nice looking tank, but it just won't "look right" with all those large fish. Just a heads up; if a LFS gave you the advice to cycle with live fish, that's a place to avoid (for advice , anyhow).

The chromis was introduced to put the Bio-spira to the test, as chromis are very fragile specimens. I keep hearing about this instant cycle in a bottle so I wanted to see if it works when i started this tank. Same reason the damsel was introduced, and amazingly the trio lived through the whole thing with no ammonia spike, a fairly decent nitrite spike and a huge nitrate spike.

Thanks for your advice/concern.

And you are correct on the stocking, but I think ill take my chances, if all introduced in the correct order agression shouldn't be so bad, only worry is space caused agression like you said which hey, I have seen this same stocking list with all the fish 6-12inchs in a 75 gallon, all seemed happy but very crammed. No agression, all heavily fed.
