![]() I bought my first corals today! Its exciting and nerve wracking at the same time!
![]() My peppermint shrimp have Molted, the hermits are Molting. all the Green Hair algea was gone within the week of getting my CUC. I have some green algea on the rocks now but that is my fault. I throw in a few Seaweed Extreme pellets every few days to be sure eveyone is getting enough. Ill be cutting back on that. ![]() for a clean up crew I have hermits, 2 emerald crabs, a strawberry conch, 2 Zebra Hermits and Trochus snails. 2 peppermint shrimp. I got my Radion hung up and I think finally set properly. I picked up some Purigen and chemi-pure Elite. Skimmer is finallly working properly and quiet. I should have the ATO set up this weekend. I am having a lot of water evap! not sure the 2.5 gal resevoir will be enough. Next week I will be ordering the new refugium. Corals I got today are already open and seem happy, I don't think they are in their final place yet, I have to pick up some putty or glue so I can place them on my rocks rather than the peices they are on. (we will see) now..Pics! Yellow tip Torch ![]() he said it was a christmas favia I believe but The light purple in it has me thinking it is not. I can't quite get an accurate pic of the color. there is still a little too much purple in this one. ![]() ![]() orange Riccordia (there are 2 on this rock) ![]() Branching Hammer. ![]() Encrusting Monti. The polyps are blue and Orange. ![]() Strawberry Conch ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It still looks empty ![]() ![]()

![]() Thanks Titus.
![]() I am happy to read This thread is helping someone else! Thanks. ![]() I Love this tank. I think what has helped ommensley is I am not in a hurry. I don't even have a fish in quarantine yet. and I only bought what I liked for corals not because they were rare morphs. The rockwork took me days! lol I like it but would have liked more sandbed exposed for corals.

![]() Picked up a few more corals.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This Frogspawn is Green tipped but the rest of its color is about what you see. I think my Hammer on the left was starting to bleach from the lights. I backed them down to 48% The Hammer in the back is a green tipped in the store it was really Pink almost red. under my LEDs it is washed out purple/pink. I am not loving the radion so far.
