now, comes the hard part...waiting...this tank will look like this for let's say two months.

all my rock in my 20gl has feather dusters, if I add them to this tank, they'll die. The rock you see used to be alive (that is, it had creatures living in/on it), but I didn't have enough room in the 20gl for it, so it's now dead.


My filter wasn't working...dh was able to fix it tonight!!! the dead/raw shrimp was added a few days ago, now we wait. the shrimp will break down and start the cycle. Tomorrow I will test the water to see if I have ammonia yet. Once I have ammonia, then I'll get nitrites, then nitrates, once I have zero ammonia and zero Nitrites, then the cycle is complete. I will do a water change, and 'ghost' feed the tank, then check my levels again. Once i'm happy they are stable (by stable I mean that I do not see any ammonia), I'll start to move my rock over. In time, I'll fish and inverts. It's a SLOW process, but well worth the wait.
