are those fish in there now?? Did you wait for a cycle??

[acid_burn]

Yes the fish are in there now.

I waited for the tank to cycle, and was checking Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and PH parameters daily. Still checking about 2-3 times a week now.

Do you see a problem in my future??

Thanks,
Rich

watch that Domino, there mean little suckers.
and that lion is fine in a FO tank, because you do no this is not reef safe, and are carnivirous.

[acid_burn]

Yeah, the lion seems to be keeping him in check :-D

Thanks,
Rich
