sitandwatch's first tank

[sitandwatch]

Thanks for the compliments

So I felt I needed a little more rock to balance out the tank so I headed down to Red Coral Aquariums and got a few more great pieces.

Here are some updated photos,

Your tank looks awesome! Love the scaping!!! Your wife will be a full fledged addict soon...... when the time comes make sure you take her coral shopping At this point in my addiction ..... I would rather be surprised with coral than flowers anyday I cannot wait to get my own RSM!!!

Awesome pieces of rock, and you have a great eye for aquascaping! If I could make a suggestion...buy some reef epoxy and glue those rocks to eachother. They look a bit precarious, and a rockslide (often caused by fish digging in the sand) can scratch or crack your glass or squash an inhabitant.

Thanks for the suggestion about the epoxy, I have the rock sitting on the bottom glass with the sand around it but it could still shift. Any suggestions on what to use and how?
I also just read your Tank cycling and wish I would have read it earlier it has some good advice.

Just got back from my vacation and found these swimming around in the tank, any ideas on what they might be there are about 50 or so of them?

Hey, I can't remember having those (bad memory) Did you find out what they are?
I am curious. They look like very small tadpols.

Look to me like amphipods. No worries.

Looking around I think they look like Copepods so that is cool, I looked for them this morning and think that most of them hit the skimmer last night as I was only able to see a few this morning.

Fun to watch.
