Another new beginer question this time about diatom bloom and how long I should expect it to take and do I need to do anything for it?
I bought rock, sand and water that had already been cycling. I let it cycle myself for another two weeks prior to adding anything to the tank. My rock went to a bronze looking color, I'm thinking its diatom bloom, I wanted to try and post some pictures hopefully I can either latrer tonight or tomorrow.
At this point last night I put in two small damsels, cleaner shrimp and a urchin. Reason being I ordered a blue spotted jaw fish and I want to keep him seperate for a couple weeks to make sure he/she is healthy before putting into the 90G. This will give me 3 total fish and my wife is wanting a medium size fish, maybe in the tang family? With what I've mentioned having so far what would your suggestions be on the next fish to put into the tank. Currently 1- sm. 1.5-2.0 clown, .75-1.0 blue damsel and a blue spotted jaw fish being introduced next which looks to be about 3.0-3.5 inches.
Again, thanks in advance to everyones replies, you have no idea how thankful us begginers are of your advice and guidence! As, many of you know the pet stores don't always have your best interest in mind:frustrat:
