Happy 1st Birthday
On the 17th of this month my tank turned 1 month. I know, that's lame.. But I'm glad to say that everything is still looking great and all of the inhabitants are happy and enjoying their home. I'm sad to report though that the star fish didn't make it. Apparently they are very fragile and either you have luck with them or you don't.
On the weekend I added in 3 Green/Blue Chromis (See Picture Below). These guys are amazing, full of energy and have a great blue shiny color.
I am attempting to move to bi-weekly water changes, I am waiting until Saturday and if my water is still in good condition I will stick to it, otherwise I will move back to doing weekly changes.
That’s it for now.
Enjoy!

New Coral & a Star Fish
The Tank is looking great! It's been over a month and so far no big problems. My two clowns are getting along great and my corals are looking amazing!
I recently added in a Xenia Coral which is very fascinating to watch as well as a star fish to help keep the algae under control. I’m keeping up with the weekly water changes, and everything is looking great.
Last night I found a worm crawling around my rocks, but apparently he’s good to have and I shouldn’t worry. I was able to drop my Nitrates down close to 0 which is great for the tank, otherwise my calcium is sitting at 300 ppm, and I’m still trying to get it up to 400.
I’ve posted up some pictures below, so enjoy! (Thanks Brandon for the Pictures)

New Pictures
Here are some new pictures of the tank.... I found that it's hard to take pictures of swimming fish.

Cycle in Finished!
After about 2 weeks my tank was cycled. Never thought it would be that quick. I went and added in some invertrbates.
3 Blug Legged Hermit Crabs
3 Astria Snails
1 Peppermint Shrimp (Jacque) - Thanks Mel for the name!
The shrimp likes to hide out behind the rocks but I see him come out every so often. After a few days I went and added a
Ricordia Coral
A pair of percula clowns
leather coral
So Far Everything looks great. I'm going to wait a few weeks before adding anything else. I will post some pictures up when I get a chance.
