So, here is a color progression. Im now just passed the diatom phase. Im only using 4 of the 12 bulbs in this fixture during the cycle, so that I have a minimal amount of algae growth. But it seems to be going well.

My settling tank idea is also working amazing. Barely any detritus is making it into the return sump. It will be perfect to just stir that up and drain the tank for water changes.

So another cycle update. Nitrates are getting lower and lower every day. I'm starting to see some life!
Last night I changed all the bulbs to a more blue look. Keep in mind that all the previous shots of the tank were on dusk/dawn channels with only two blues and two pinks. Heres the new bulb arrangement: Front KZ Superblue WP Blue wave 460 WP Reef wave WP Sun wave WP Coral Wave KZ New Gen Back It looks a lot less blue in person, but its almost identical to a 14K look. The couple fish I have in there look outragously colorful already.   Coraline is already starting to grow everywhere. This is on the bare bottom.  And my first little spirorbid worm!! Things are starting to look lively! Got little critters everywhere on the glass.  Skimmer pulling out sick black crap already... The smell is absolutely alarming.  NEXT: clean up crew to get working on the tiny bits of hair algae.
