First Loss

Its been a while since my last update by I have stopped adding stuff to the tank (for now lol) and have just allowed stuff to grow.

But I had to update on the loss of my blue star fish.

It is especially sad because this was one of the key things I wanted in the tank.
As I have read they have a higher death rate I will likely not add another one.

here is him during his happier times

New adds and a new full tank shot

Got some new corals over the past week so he is a few pictures

First is what I believe to be green mushroom but they where labeled different in the store
Will check with aa for some confirmation



This is a ricordea florida. I can not get a picture to do it justice when this bad boy is under just the blue lights it looks crazy



Rose bubbletip anemone great deal at 50 bucks and came attached to about a pound of live rock
Sad the clowns have not even tired to explore him.



Torch Coral I put it in the centre of the tank it has four heads and looks great.
Cant wait to see it grow even more.

Leather and some updated shots

Got a sweet new leather today I like it alot. Great deal at Big Al's only 24 bucks.




Moved my Gonapora to the left side of the tank because it had to much flow on the right side

seems to be doing better here.




My Mushroom frag is huge and looking great. I love them.




Not sure you can tell but the frogspawn looks like it has grown since the last picture, I also turned it around to have the dead head face the back of my tank



Dam the cleaner is getting big.




Full tank shot what it looks like now

ehhhhh worms

So I was looking at my tank yesterday after feeding my fish and I noticed on my live rock a bristle worm. At first I was like cool this is the first one I seen since I set up my tank in December. But as I looked around I saw at least 6-7.

for those of you who don't know they look like little centipedes that crawl in and out of your live rock.




Know they are supposed to be good but I don't like them so I will be getting a 6-Line Warrse which eats them. This is to be sure their population remains in check.

On a side note I have added the Chemi Pure to my tank. I will give it a week or two of running and I will let you know if it makes a difference on my Algae growth.

Pictures next week of hopefully the new addition maybe a coral or two and the growth of my frogspawn.
