The first stage of the cycle is over! The ammonia has settled down to 0 and has held there firmly for over a week. The nitrate has been going between 5-7ppm and the Nitrite is 0.1 or less.
I added a CUC a week ago and last weekend i bought 2 clowns as well as a hammer and yesterday i introduced a bubble coral in the hopes that it will host the clowns without being desimated!
As always here's some shots of the tank now
(you can't see it in the photo but i've been having quite the problem with microbubles, most likely due to the skimmer breaking in)
