Quick update...
Tank cycled like a champ. Levels are normal, CUC is in place. I went with;
2 turbo snails
6 algea crabs
6 small snails (can't remember their name)
1 rock blennie (couldn't resist)
I'm noticing dozens of other life growing in the tank; snails, pods, algea, zoo's, mushrooms etc.
This picture has 4 snails, 1 crab, rock blennie and some type of duster just to his left.
I did upgrade the cooling as I was seeing temps creep up a little high in the day so I jumped on the DIY train and fashioned a compact and quiet fan w/bracket. Total cost was under $30 and cools very well.
So far so good!
Thanks for looking!
