I am moving rather slowly on livestock, as I want to be sure I am completely comfortable on managing water quality. So for now, I'm not planning on any more livestock for at least another 6 weeks.
Current fish are 2 ocellaris clowns, one yellow tang and one kole tang. All are doing very well, eating, growing and very active. They get fed 2-3 times per day, with a mixture of Elos pellets, mysis, blood worms, spirulina wafers, nori and red algea.
Inverts are one cleaner shrimp, a CUC (10 trochus snails and 5 scarlet hermits), and a recently added RBTA. The anemone caused me some concern initially because I was concerned that the tank was a little too new. Having said that, he is doing really well. He moved around the first night in the tank, and by the next morning had settled in and now hasn't moved in about 3 weeks. He is doing well, and in my mind at least seems to have doubled in size. I feed him shrimp and silversides about 2x a week, and so far seems very happy.
Corals so far are my original frogspawn, and since then have added a wellso flat brain, a tiny button coral frag, a bubble pearl and a really nice, big green bubble coral. They are all doing very well, although the frogspawn doesn't seem as happy now as he did the first few weeks. He doens't look ill, but just doesn't seem to expand as much during the day as he did before. Colours are still good though. I feed the brain, and bubbles a couple of times a week with shrimp, silversides and also add some Coral Frenzy every now and then.
The photos look a little washed out. I haven't figured out good photo technique yet.
