Ok, here is my full tank shot/s.
When I first started. I took my time and let the tank cycle for at least 3 months till everything cycled accordingly (sand/rock/water was all placed in june of 09). This is the first shot with nuclear palys, metalic green grass, and bought a domino/striped damsel that were purchased around august of 09.
This next pic is 2 months after the first purchase. There was a mini cycle and would not let up for about 1.5 months. Then the next purchase in this photo.
And a year and half later after some losses and doing a TON OF RESEARCH AND READING to where I am now.
