Today I went out and bought the rest of the CUC. I got 12 snails and 5 more hermit crabs, 6 empty snail shells and a fire shrimp. I also wanted to get a cleaner shrimp but they didn't have any. I forgot to mention that I added 8 hermit crabs on week two.

I bought everything from Aquarium Illusions. They had some very nice fish in stock. I especially liked the fairy wrasses and purple tangs.

Thought I would update my tank. It's been established a month today.

Here are the results of my water tests. I'm still making sense of some of this so if there is something out of whack please inform me.

NH3 - 0
NO2 - 0
NO3 - 10-15 Doing my first water change tommorrow. Currently mixing water.
pH - 8.2
Ca - got to 600 and stopped. what the heck? old test kit?
PO4 - 0.25
KH - 80
Sal - 1.024

I'm using a API Master test kit. I don't trust these results myself. What brand would some people recommend?
