Alright.....updating things, and why not.....Levels normalized well, swapped some water, and moved some more peeps in.....Have 4 hermits (3 zebras), 2 mexican turbo's, probably 7 or so stomatellas, some little hairy hitchhiker crab thats less than 1cm in size (I'll watch him for trouble), couple little bristle worms (again hitchhiker), a bicolor chromi, and a peppermint shrimp (from RC, despite their love of aptasia there, won't touch any of mine....hmmm).....then just the GSP and the Kenya tree frag.....
Need something to stir more sand, had to do it myself this last WC cause the CuC isn't doing a good enough job getting rid of the accumilate. Changed power head from a crappy topfin to a Koralia 1, and removed everything from my cannister as I had planned.....If my water stays clear I may eliminate it altogether because the K1 flows plenty for this tank.......Unless I pick up a surface skimmer, undecided on that, or park some rubble in it and some carbon....

welcome to canreef, i noticed your salinity is at 1.021 you should get it up to 1.024 or 1.025 before you get some corals in there. another good site for nanos with lots and lots of info on nano because nano are different than bigger tanks, is nano-reef.com go check it out.

Found a couple more hitchikers last night....One fairly large crab with big purple claws, he barely came out and just hides under the rock...Keep an eye on him for a while make sure he isn't a trouble maker.....Annnnd, something that looks like a small brittle/sand stirring star? He is in a hole in my rock, and he hangs his arms out of multiple spots....Probably 2cm across, and white/black banding on his arms....Wish I knew what he was...
EDIT: Peeked around, definitely a black brittle star....Hope he comes out sometime.... Last edited by Aleks; 05-14-2009 at 04:45 PM.

More stuff going on.....Remembered my old Aqua Clear 300 (guess now 70?) HOB filter from my FW tank was laying around, so will be doing a Fuge mod on it this week! Stock a little sand, rubble, and macro in it and see what happens! This will mean I'm taking the Fluval 204 offline, I'm only running carbon in it now anyhow......My flow characteristics will change a bit, I guess the 300 is rated for 300gph, but its indirect so I don't think it will make things go crazy compared to the 180gph directed flow from the Fluval....
Hitchhiker update... Believe I saw a green nudibranch (not lettuce, just lime green) creeping along some of my rock in the middle of the night....Couldn't get a good pic, so no way to identify..... Where can I get Cheato locally?
