-added some more baserock and sand, decided to stick with the live rock so I can watch the tank change.

 

-amonia, nitrate and nitrite are reading non existent, but am experiencing a diatom bloom currantly not sure as to why. Not too worried as the clean up crew is doing its job slowly.

 

- added a starfish to the crew.

 

also noticing tbhings coming to life in the tank, if anyone can spot them and tell me what they are that would be a huge help.

Changed over the standard globes that came with the tank (the guy who sold me the tank said they where fine for marine but I wanted to make sure) heres the results, may see some new additions 😉 also the brains show up a cool green color under just the blue light but its too hard to get a decent picture with my phone

That looks great with the new lighting! It's amazing what a difference the blue makes to the corals! :)

Been abswnt due to being busy, so here's a quick update.

-added some hammers and zoanthids (along with some hitchhikers that were in the bag, Brittle Star and some little shrimp thing failed to get some pictures as they've disappeared into the live rock) on that note careful with Avid Aquaria wasn't very impressed with their stock and state of the tanks

-also think my live rock may have come with a mantis shrimp,may be wrong but I can hear cracking noises sometimes and I spied some pincers deep in one of the rocks no missing snails or crabs so far. I also found a spiny looking crab so that may have been the pincers I saw

Off to Vebas this weekend to have a look and see what I can find.
-got some clown fish aswell

Still no sign of the mantis so think it might be the hermits wrestling, bottle trap only caught a small crab and some snails.

-Got a long tentacle plate coral and big flowery thing (forget the name).
-Got a Blue Damsel for a bargain from pet magic
-beefed up the cleanup crew with 4 more hermits, Stomb Snail and 2 Zombie Snails

Pics coming tonight ;-)
