New Tank cycle?

Feed lightly though, specially if your cycle isn't finished completely. And +1 on the weekly water change, I think regular water changes are overlooked a lot as a way to keep a tank healthy.

EDIT: Just noticed your test for ammonia at 0, awesome. Keep testing though, adding livestock will throw things off a bit again. Anything that eats produces ammonia, so we'll see if your cycle is indeed done.

BlueAbyss,

I have alot of algae on my tank already, lots of clear/white small warm running around on my live rocks. the only problem i have is my sand is looking a little dirty, not sure how i can get it clean.
