Well i went to the LFS to get my water checked to see if anything in it killed the shrimp and everything came back negative, so it must've been stress that killed it!

But on the other hand i got new Corals!!! I got at torch coral with a coral barnacle in the middle, and some gsp with Some nice green and yellow zoas!

But again there is a problem, the torch is kind of sickly looking but hopefully it will clear up by tomorrow!

PICS

TORCH




ZOA



PLACES IN TANK

Well today was the sale and i loaded up on what they had :bling: So i bought 2 more hermits (they gave me 3 :P) a galaxy coral that looks AWESOME. I was inspired by some of your guy's duncan corals so i got one and a very small patch of xenia, which i hope, will grow to be nice and tall!

I got KORALIA 1 instead of the nano and some coral supplements for the corals in my tank, Ultra MIN s AND Ultra Organic. I shut off the filter and and let just the powerhead go as i put in .375ml of the Min and .75 of the Organic! And i think my hammers have gotten a tinge greener!

So to bring you guys up to speed:
PARAM
Nitrate: 0
Nitrite: 0
Ammonia: 0 - .1

CUC
5- Hermit crabs
2- Bumblebee Snails
2- Astrea Snails
2- Turbo snails
Whack load of bristleworms

CORALS
Hammerhead
Torch
Galaxy
Xenia
Mushrooms
GSP
Zoanthids
FeatherDusters

PICTURES
COMING SOON TO A THREAD NEAR YOU!!!

Thanks for all the comments guys

Well for and update, My ammonia still is holding .05 but looks like it's nearing zero, I took out my filter floss because i thought thats what might be causing it!
I got my 14k light in today and installed it and everything looks more vibrant!
My zoas by my mushroom don't want to open up, they start to, but then bristleworms climb all over them... grrrrrr
The duncan coral looks great and the xenia has already grown like a weed! with the aiptasian right beside it... The galxy coral is doing great and i love how it moves in the floww!

NOW FOR THE PICS!!!





COMMENTS PLEASE!

Thanks

Looks great I would say you are well on your way to making a magnificent reef. You might want to keep an eye on those bumble bee snails though they might eat your Zoe's if they can't find enough to eat.

I'll be sure to keep a good lookout on them!
MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS :P !!!!
IT'S BOXING DAY !!!
Well today i went down to the lfs and "splurged"!!! Well i bought 2 Clownfish (one has a partly missing fin, will it grow back) and a Yasha Hase goby, which hasn't shown itself onece it was put in the tank and one more try at a peppermint shrimp!!! As for corals i bought a real nice looking toadstool (can anyone tell me what exact kind?) a ricordia, Clove polups, and some more zoos!!!
Since my parents were along my dad saw the scooter blenny and he, REALLY, wants one, and he kept going on about how nice it was! Now i know the problem with sandsifters in a nano, but i want to get one for my dad! If i do get it will their be many problems in the long run :huh: ?
My duncans haven't opened up since i did all the additions, hopefully it will open up! There has been no problems since i set up the tank other than the few aptasia and the still unknown shrimp death! I guess i'll post my Lists:

FISH
2 Occelaris Clownfish
Yasha Haze Goby (about 1")

CUC
Peppermint Shrimp
2 Astrea Snails
2 Turbo Snails
5 Hermit Crabs
2 Bumblebee Snails

NOW FOR THE PICS!!!
