24G, First tank.

[silentcivilian]

I suppose since I noticed I can keep a journal, I figured I should.

Here it is, everything was donated from a friend, all I had to by at start up was a power head, filters, cleaning supplies, salt and 8lbs of rock. The rest was a ghost tank of my friends that had been hosting bugs in his basement in the back corner. So, in it came, and here it landed.. this is my tank starting its cycle.



After 2 weeks, I started to see life, here is the first signs of life that I found.


One snail that I was told is a evil snail and it should be relocated to a place of death. The other is the lone feather duster.

I added some more rock.. and here came the final set-up.. I tell myself, dont touch it, I sometimes cant help it.. but im doing ok, this is still where it is at today.



Im going to add one more photo hoping some people can look at it and say, ya, dont worry, its harmless... here it is..



Note the wheat looking stuff on the rock, this also grows on the glass too... is it bad? Should I try to control it?? Also. Is the green powder algae just a by-product of my green hair algae?
