Last night I added a couple banded coral shrimp to my main tank and one to my daughter's tank. They are all a little nervous but within a couple hours the two in my tank got pretty comfortable and were doing what appeared to be shrimp sex. I thought geeze that was quick, I was worried they'd tear each other up.
Managed to find a first grade maxima for my daughter's tank. It's a tiny little sucker, only about 1" or so but already you can see it's going to be a special one... The shell is so white and clean, it's too bad they don't stay that way because the gorgeous blue flesh would rock the milky white shell.
The testing of the Apex Jr went well so I have connected it to my main lighting. Would have been nice to have more than four outlets but I'm OK getting another power bar if things continue to go well. Also it's good to note that the Jr doesn't support power consumption monitoring, unless you get another power bar... I am a little disappointed at the included software. There doesn't seem to be near as much flexibility in the graphing features as I want. I'd also like to change some graphics on the dashboard but there doesn't appear to be a way to do it.
