New to the hobby.
decided to build a 32 g using Coralife’s BioCube 32. Upgraded the pump with a Sicce 1.5. Using InTank media stack with me mechanical, sea hem matrix and carbon.
Added an extra bag of matrix in chamber 2.
The built started 8/14. Using dry rock and live sand.
My fish-less cycling needed 25 days. Added snails, ,hermits and some peppermint shrimp.
Then waited for the fish to get out of quarantine on 9/25.
All alive and well now .
Now i have to many hermit crabs. ( A misunderstanding between my wife and me ordering livestock.....).
Documented my build on reef2reef not knowing about ARC.
here is the link:

I’m done with livestock
2 orange clowns
2 black and white clowns
1 court chester goby - who dug his own hiding place
1 pistol tiger shrimp - watchman goby’s buddy and aquarium bulldozer
1 yellow watchman goby who is black and white now
2 Banggai cardinals
1 serpent star fish
i fire shrimp
1 cleaner shrimp
i emerald crab
3 feather duster
the pistol shrimp molted day für he arrived and is now nearly 2 1/4 inch long
he is the best proof point why rock first and then sand makes the most sense .
There isn’t a rock left he has not tunneled under. The one piece I had put in after the sand is now leaning tower of Pisa and I need to glue it to the rest.
Planning on sharing more on this club site.
