Update

I have added some new stuff now. There is now a young Kole tang who was bit shy at first, but is now looking really good. Unfortunately I can't get a good photo of him as I haven't figured out how to shoot fast moving fish yet.
I also got my first coral, a small frogspawn. I just got the one because I wanted to get comfortable with the acclimation, mounting, etc process before loading up on others pieces. I initially dialed down my lights and then increased them over a few days. My experience is limited, but he looks pretty happy to me. He is extending his polyps nicely, and in my mind seems to be a brighter colour than when I got him.



As far as acclimating inverts and corals, I am using a medical IV drip set and have found it very easy to set up and fine tune the drip rate. For those of you in the medical field I highly reccomend trying these. For anyone else, If you are interested, I would talk to your vet. They only cost a couple of dollars, so they should be able to sell them very cheap.
