First Tank

Cseque · 01/17/2018, 12:35 PM

Hi all
I'm new to the hobby and this is my first tank! It's a BioCube 32 LED. Just Started the cycle 4 days ago.

Running it with just the stock filter right now. How do you think i should get my lightning programmed for the cycle period.

I'll leave front pic and top via of my aquascape.

Any comments or advice all be highly appreciated

Hello & welcome. You don’t really need to run your lights that much during the cycle period

That's a great start

I agree that I wouldn't run the lights right now it's just going to contribute to the upcoming diatoms and algae blooms that you're ultimately going to face.

Hi all, apparently my tank was ready for some fish, so I bought this two clowns, they seem very active, but they seem to not wanting to eat... is this normal? The day I added them, i did not fed them as per LFS request. Then next day try to fed them Cobal Pro Breeder Flakes, and did not eat them, I tried again on the afternoon, and nothing... Any Advice?

Have you tried frozen food like mysis or brine shrimp cut in small portions
