33g first tank

[1337cr3w]

went to bayside's boxing day sale and spent too much but came home with 10 spiney throchus snails, and a dwarf lion, plus alot of chemicals i need. some pics of the lion and his qt. do you think its too small? its like a 2 liter beta tank i had sitting around, will have an air stone and has a few pieces of lr in it for him to hide behind.
Mid water change right now of 8 ish gallons waiting for new water to heat up a bit. my phosphate lvl is 2.0 ppm. i just got the phosphate test today so i have no idea is this too high of a lvl. also my anemone has only eaten 2 maybe 3 mysis shrimp since i got it four days ago.

so definately didnt know that a heater couldn't be left on and set out of water lol. it was only for like one minute but i went to pik it up burnt my finger, touched it in the water and it blew up...literally blew up, then right after i also managed to step on a thermometer i bought today... fun times

so its been a few weeks, alot has changed first of all the anemone just decided to pack his things and move randomly he sat still for a month now hes moved into a hole in the rock and looks really neat.


I want to get an open brain but i want to make sure i dont kill it so i bought some zoas to try and keep alive and i'll work my way up to a brain.


and my lionfish is in the tank now and swimming around happy with the other fish, eating 1 ghost shrimp every other day. ill try to train him onto frozen foods soon.




and one more picture of the whole tank you call it fts??? i guess so.

well, almost have the sump going now just waiting for a few pieces of glass thats ready monday and a pump thats in the mail.


I have a couple concerns though, first of all this white thing poped up a few days ago. so did a few white things that looks like flower bulbs but are the size of a pea.


also my one zoa doesnt look very healty a few of its end dont open anymore and apear to have sealed over the end. but the other parts open perfecty, it was just recently moved but didnt look much better before either.


any answers would help. but besides that everything is doing good hers a pic of everything togethr and a fts.

so, i got a strawberry dottyback chromis. qt'd him then added him in and that stupid blue damsel chased her all over the place and ate half her tail. within 9 hours he was sold and with a new tank.. so heres pics of whats left of the chromis tail and the onlt one i could get of her. shes very afraid to come out but is getting better.



in the efforts to catch the damsel i had almost all my rock out so it got a slight re doing, making room for more when i find a nice big piece for sale.


i also noticed something growing on one of my snails.. looks like a tiny feather duster.. any ideas?


Also my cabinet is basically finished, i still need to attach the magnets to both sides to hold the panels up but for now they just lean on.
