Bare bottom was my original plan. but I had some concerns about the white PVC sheet i was using leeching anything. I ended up putting it on the underside of the tank as a compromise which will block the light from going into the stand when sandbed moves as its only a 1cm sandbed
Im getting very impatient here lol NEED ZEE STICKS!
I Introduced a pair of ocellaris yesterday and a small clean up crew. theyre smashing through the diatoms.

. You can't have a tank that looks that good on the outside that doesn't look the same on the inside!
Quick update.
Everything seems to be going well, have continued with weekly water changes. I am feeding a cube of mysis to the take every day also. I swear the two clown fish are eating half of it!
Water still has a slight cloudiness to it so I have put a filter sock on to see if it clears it up. I think its a bacteria bloom.
Now I am just getting impatience and want to fill it with sticks already!

The ATI is just the perfect light. Hard to beat.
