Water changes won't hurt though.

Looks great so far though, 'nems are so cool when they are small.

I have blue leg hermits, astrea, turbo,and nassarius snails. None of them sift the sand and the nassarius just mix it a tiny bit.

What would you recommend?

I've had a sand sifting starfish for years. He does a great job of sifting the sand. Gobies are great too. Although, they tend to kick up a lot of sand sometimes.

I was about to pick up a sandsifting star for $5 but I didnt think my sand could sustain it cause its fairly new...and I heard mixed reviews of how it will eat everything in the sand. I really want a goby...but heard it wont eat the algae on the sand.

PS your gsp looks awesome in my tank

Nice 72 James. I just ordered a 72 Bow Front and I'm stolked to aquascape it!

I started setting up my first tank (50g) about a month ago. As I learned more about this hobby I realized that my 50g was too narrow for what I wanted to accomplish. When my new bofront comes in, I'll transfer my live rock and fish to it. I plan on keeping a photo diary too. Keep tuned!!

Thanks! I think I am putting up TOO many pictures though haha.

I am really surprised I can put all these things in and its been less than 2 months. Guess I got lucky? Never noticed a cycle and my diatoms went away really quick!

Another update: added more fish

Blue Tang
Yellow Tang
Coral Beauty
2 Cleaner shrimps
Coral banded shrimp
Bicolor blenny
Mandarin dragonet
Purple firefish
Cleaner wrasse
