- Start date
i believe im starting to see some diatoms.. also little things of green algae are coming out 
i did tests today and i think im going nuts.. i have super minimial (or none) ammonia, but i think around 3 trates? which is confusing. going to my LFS today to have them test it and maybe buy my clean up crew.

Yea my cycles over, what little one i had atleast lol. i went out and bought my clean up crew today!
1 Tiger Cuc
10 pure white snails ( i believe cerenths)
1 sand sifting star
1 fighting conch
lol and i had a turbo snail in there from the start, he was on the rock.
I have 3 trates no ammonia or trite
salinity is accuratly at .025
Alk 9
(didnt test ca yet, will do so in 2 weeks)
Everything is going great so far, no mishaps or anything
The tank will be three weeks old tomorrow
and the 5th week is when i plan to put the fish in.. which i hope my one picaso doesnt have cancer

I told my LFS about my stock list.
they said i would be fine putting a leapord wrasse in a solana.. they had a mystery wrasse in theirs. i said i thought it needed a 55gal and they said not even.. but on websites it says they need a 50. so i think i really might just avoid that even though i love the fish.. i think im definitly going with my origional stock of the picasos, midas blenny and red flasher wrasse male.
this clean up crew is interesting enough lol im happy with it though ...Hopefully they all survive i didnt just stick with snails but i dont think my LFS would push anything on me, theyre all nice and are just ahppy to see a customer who isnt rushing and getting bad equipment

A Leopard wrasse may do ok in a Solana with that being the only fish or at most mated up with another, but no other fish. Even that would be pushing it.
What are you doing for your top? Both the Midas blenny and flasher wrasses are known jumpers. They are both suitable for the tank with the clowns though IMO.

yea no leapord wrasse for me. ill just admire yours for the time being.
is the reef cleaner package okay? im worried about the conch but hes just chillin most of the day
as for the top to the amount of wires in and out of the thing its really hard for me to get that top on.. im gonna try and readajust everything tomorrow to the back or cut around the spots where the tubing and stuff is coming out.
is waiting until next wednesday good to do my fish transfer or should i wait longer (i just wanna put my clowns in there so bad lol) and another week to start stocking corals... i cant even tell you how excited i am to see what your sending me and i got a wad saved for multiple corals to buy from my lfs...

For that size tank, I don't recommend it at all. Your clowns will do happily without an anemone.
