Turning 14G toxic swamp into Biocube Showpiece

[gimincorp]

Hi All,
I can't force myself to updating constantly my thread at blogspot, so Let me try here.

I have 14 Gallon biocube aquarium that I neglected for a while.
I plan to revitalize it and make it home to clownfish, corals and maybe some other species as MR members will suggest.

Please do not post replys to my thread - PM me instead; but if I act upon your post, I promise to reflect it in my threads.

To be continued... hope to get my camera today and get started with the story of transformation!

Are you requesting that nobody respond on your thread (once you put the rest of the info up)??

Sorta - since it will be my tank thread. Isn't it how it should work in tank threads?
But as I said I'll reflect all suggestions that I follow here and will attribute them to MR members.
Here goes first one:
Thank you S1024L for recommending me Canon PowerShot SX120 IS! Seems like it is going to be a good camera. Here are the first test shots of a "Toxic Swamp"
First Shot:

The glass is dirty; 10K light on

Skimmer keeps overboiling pretty fast. Probably due to me using the green liquid to declorinate water.
Added 28 drops of iodine and a squirt of each Part A & Part B calcium suppliement

I found myself w/o any means of testing the water other than with Hydrometer and an analog thermometer...
So, today I bought an in-tank hydrometer and an ammonia test kit.
Also, my anemone remains flat for the last couple of days so I gotta check that ammonia ASAP.
Yesteday 28 drops of iodine, and a squirt of each part of calcium were added to the tank. Also skimmer cup was emptied.
