The bubbles will stop. Are you getting any purple/pink algae? It looked like I saw a hint of pink on the coral.

No Vorteil, only green algae grew. Not sure why the tank wasn't fully cycle by now.

From the looks of the pic it should be done. That's a lot of algae growing in there. How many are you putting in there?

Yes plenty of algae in there, I should have high 200 opaes in my 1 gallon tank now. Ammonia has not gone to 0 yet but I will still make the transfer this coming week.

Did a 95% water change, put in my old rock and added some new rock and finally moved them into the new tank yesterday.

Was an empty town yesterday night as all but 2 was hiding in the old rock and woke up to a good view today as they were soaking in the morning light on the rock.

Hope to see floaters boom after 4 weeks since they have a much bigger space now. =)
