Started adding sticks this week. Started with a green birdsnest. The guy that gave it to me said if i kill it i should quit...luckily it survived. Added a nice chunk of sunset mille and a few others. Hopefully will get time to add some pictures this weekend.

Added a small hippo and 3 chromis to the tank yesterday.

Current chromis count - 3.

Bets on how soon they start killing each other?

Having multiple chromis is like a Highlander movie,"There can be only one!"

it's been 9 days. All 3 chromis are still swimming. I did watch one go through my mp60 today while chasing food and thought he was going to come out in pieces, but looks like he's so small he got spit right out without any injuries. Hopefully will add a few more fish this week.

Did the frags come from a local source, or were they ordered online?

If ordered online, who did you order them from?

What are the different frags?

They look great!

These came from Adam at Battlecorals.

Back row:
Colemans delicate
Inland corals kaleidoscope
BC Sky doppel
BC Space ghose
Pink jade

Middle row:
Vivid rainbow delight
BC Thundercats
BC Heart & Soul
BC Xmas

Front row:
BC Rainbows Army
BC Bossa NOVA!
Tyree Superman tenuis
Grapejuice
BC Battle stag

Everything came in great. Just got them all placed in the tank. Saved some prime spots to add swap goodies. This deep dimension tank adds a side viewing element that I'm not used to.

Tank is dealing with some fluffy algae (probably from being a young tank). Added 3 more turbo snails and a lawnmower blenny to help keep things in check.

Here are some pics from today:

I added this nem about 1 month after setting up the tank (yes probably too early). It split after about a week of being in the tank (likely stress response), but has been doing well since. Clowns were hosting it before it split, so I'm hoping they will eventually come home.


Struggled with how to set up my auto feeder on the tank. Came up with this and it has worked out great.


blenny just hanging out


FTS. Hoping this algae will go away soon.

You got it! I'm hoping I can hold the color on the Rainbow delight. It's known to brown out before it get's colorful again (not sure why). The superman came in glowing blue. My personal favs were the sky doppel and the kaleidoscope. Trading sounds good. I know you got some cool stuff baking in your prop tank.

I definitely want to get some BC frags some day. Glad to see they shipped out well to you.

I agree. I do like looking at a nice rack...of frags

Sump wall is holding up strong. I'll get a pic posted here soon.
