Checked the water parameters tonight for the cube. All is well. Ammonia and Nitrites are zero. Nitrates are 5 ppm, pH is 7.8.

It seems that the nitrogen cycle is complete. There are some signs of life on my rock. I’ve seen some polyp, some squirt colonies and sone fan worms, as well as some macro algae.

Will wait for a while, adding clean-up crew after the algae/diatom bloom. I’m looking forward to watching life emerge from my rocks. After several weeks, I will add some hardy mushrooms and Zoanthids.

I have the nano-tuners 3.24 lighting upgrade installed, and I’m very happy with it. It was a doable install. More light with this kit, but my temperature in my tank has been cooler than before because this kit comes with upgraded fans.

That’s it for now
