. I think I am finally at the end of the cycle and will test my water one more to to make sure the parameters are correct so I can bring my kids home. Anyway, in the process of cycling my tank I did more research into a reef tank and was intrigued. So, I ultimately bit the bullet and purchased a Biocube 32. So, far I love it. I ordered some live rock and just finished the prepping process (according to the company I purchased them from. They are awesome by the way.). So, I set up my tank with a cool formation, put in the water and watched to see what happens next. I put in a piece of shrimp to start the cycling process and I am on the second day of 3 performing 10% water changes. So far the tank is a little cloudy and I'm still trying to remedy that (to no avail)
and the hitch hikers have started introducing themselves. I went into a panic when I saw all of the worms coming out. I went in and tried to kill them by hand:uzi:Stupid me! I did some more research:reading: and discovered that they are a good thing. So, I just sat back and watched the show. It still weirds me out to see a bunch of worms running around all willy-nilly. I the mean time, i did discover two critters that I can't identify. I will post pics as soon as I figure how. Anyway, I look forward to learning with you guys through this journey and I hope that i can provide some useful info as well. I hope that all of this has a happy and enduring ending:beer:
. I'm looking forward to spending just as much time here on the forum, and meeting fellow Aquarists
