Tank progress

Slowly but surely, we're getting our tank up and running. There's not a whole lot in it, but being new to the hobby, we're thrilled with it. We've had it about 2 and a half months now, and we've got 2 clownfish, a fairy wrasse, and a golden head sleeper goby. We've got some GSP and leathers growing on one of the live rock, and we've purchased some frogspawn and mushrooms.

 

Looking good!

 

Looking good.

 

Nice looking Frog Spawn.

 

Very nice, looking forward to more progress pics..

 

Looks Great!

 

I like the rockscape, looking good!

 

Just a couple new additions to the tank.... we got an emerald crab, and a candycane coral. I think our goby bit the dust... we haven't seen him in almost a week. Could the crab have anything to do with this at all? I saw the stupid crab snapping at my wrasse the other night, so I'm not sure whether that crab will attack and kill fish. My husband bought the crab when I was up in Iowa City, and I'll be glad to get rid of it if its bothering the fish.

This is the creepy crab... I hate this thing.



And the candycane



And the tank

 

Looking good. Any plans for more fish? I think a coral beauty would look nice in there.

 

Eventually......... nothing for awhile. My husbands car got broken into and we had to fork out $600 to get the window replaced. So, unfortunately our fish money went into a window. We also found out he needed a root canal, but he sacrificed the tooth so our fish fund wouldn't be another $1,000 in the hole.

 

Know the feeling all to well. Keep an eye on the forums as people are always looking to rehome fish and coral.

 

We've done quite a bit to the tank lately, so I figured it was time to post some new pictures. We've gotten a few new pieces, and re-aquascaped it. I think it looks 1000 times better now.







Here's our frogspawn.

Mushrooms.



This guy is anti-social and found a new home away from the others. But he likes this spot!



Trumpets.

Our starfish, appropriately named Patrick. (My goddaughter named him!)
