Welcome and good luck
Welcome. Read, ask and learn. Take it slow but most of all enjoy it!
Welcome. Would love to see pics!
Pcitures taken Day 9 and Day 16
Nothing except topped up RO water every other day. Should I be concerned?
Looking good 
I don't see anything wrong with the way you've done things thus far.

Thanks Taahir.
I would appreciate some advice please.....
I have noticed a breakout of tiny white "organisms/bugs" in the tank for last few days...they float around but love sticking onto the glass surface.
...is this normal during cycle?
...what are they?
thanks Poovan
