No pics at the moment (I'm at work, away from the tank), but wanted to update that on Sunday, 3/12, I placed 2 clowns in the tank and added Dr. Tim's One and Only Nitrifying Bacteria. So far so good. I'm also doing daily capfuls of Brightwell Aquatics Microbacter 7, according to instructions.
I also ordered a Seneye to see if that offers any benefits as far as watching pH, Ammonia, and it even functions as a simple PAR meter, so I can dial in my lights in a month. Hanna checker for nitrate is on the way with the Seneye. I'll probably also get a Hanna checker for Phosphate to keep an eye on that, too.
A month or two down the road, I plan on adding a ChaetoMax light to the back of the AIO chamber. I have an InTank brand chaeto basket, and even cut out some of the vinyl to allow the light to stick on the back where the chamber rests.
I've been looking a bit at what sort of additional fish citizens I might like. Nothing crazy in a tank of this size, of course. I'm thinking 3 pajama cardinals, a court jester goby, and maybe one other type of goby will about max things out.
As far as the 10 gallon goes, even with the lights off, it's still a nightmare to look at. No matter what I want to do with it, it will require a complete tear-down and rebuild - once I get the hermits and the coral banded shrimp moved over to this tank.
I'm letting the clowns bake in the dark for a month to establish a biofilm before anything else moves over to this tank. I'll have to make sure everyone is getting enough food while the rock isn't producing anything significant...
