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.
