Day 25

Busy weekend! Our cycle finished so we got our first fish! Her name is Butterfly (named by Kyna) and she's a Yellow Tail Damsel. So far she's dwarfed in our tank but seems to be doing ok.






I have some little white dots appearing all over my rocks. Here's a handful on my smallest live rock and one of it's critters. Snail eggs maybe?

Everything in the tank is turning brown! I knew it was coming, but it's a nasty sight. I'm dying to scrape the brown stuff off of my filter, powerheads and the back glass but I don't think I'm supposed to. I'm still inundated by microbubbles and snail poop. I've posted on some forums asking for help but so far no one's come up with anything.

Oh! I also have 10-20 tiny white moving smudges on my glass.. copepods maybe? They are smaller than a grain of sand and move fairly quickly, can't wait til they grow up and I get to see what they are.
