I ditched the media in the HOB except for the carbon. After I added the coralife light the tank has started to color up alot. Yesturday I brought my water to a local reef shop for a second opinion of where i am at with my cycle. Don't get me wrong, i was just a little mis informed earlier and my steps right now is once my NO3 cycle is finished I am going to be adding some softies. Today i did a water change and at elite aquatics they reccomended using their house brand Bio Stabilizer so I added a bit of that in with the water change. My gravity was a bit up there so right now i am trying to bring it down to 1.024 and it was at 1.028. I did a 20% change with water that was at 1.022 and the water is now 1.026 so with the next water change on the weekend I hopefully will have hit my goal.
I started this tank while i was at school so money was a bit tight and I start my new job on monday. debating about flat rate or not but I could add a protein skimmer with the first paycheck. This is actually the build that I am following right now;
