Added some livestock!

Clean up crew- 5 spiny astreas, 5 regular astreas, 5 ring cowries, 1 sand sifting seastar, and 5 nassarious snails.

Corals - contents of my Q-tank, and a frag of GSP and fox coral. JL has a couple of great fox corals right now, 5-6" for $50. A couple had quite a bit of green on them too.

Been a while, lots to update. I have added both of the organisms the tank was originally designed for... Halophila seagrass and seahorses. The seagrass has been in the tank for over a month and is growing well. The seahorses have been in for a bit over a week. Both are eating. I'm happy I was patient and found true tank bred seahorses.













New seagrass buds around the originally planted leaves.

Time for another update.

Unfortunately the feather duster died as the sea horses kept using it as a tail anchor, and broke many of its feathers. It died about a week after I purchased it.

The fox coral isn't doing well for some reason (bottom right of tank picture). I think my tank is too bright for it. I am actually giving it to a local reefer tonight so hopefully it can be saved.

Other than that, I'm really happy with how things have gone!
