It's Coming Together

The tank did really well over our vacation. I was worried about something dying while we were gone, but everything made it through. The automatic top off system worked great and our friends and family came by to feed the fish and add the alkalinity and calcium supplements. There was a lot of algae and scum, but it cleaned up nicely. We got more hermit crabs to add to the clean up crew and will decrease the amount of light each day.

I held off on stocking up the tank too much before we left, so I was really excited to add stuff once I got back. A little too excited actually, I bought 3 corals and 2 fish today.

Here is a pic of the toad stool:
















Here is a pic of the hammer head coral (so named because of the shape of the ends):
















Here is a pic of the candy coral:
















Here is a pic of the clown fish (percula, or false clowns). They are juveniles so one should turn into a female to become a matched pair.
















The fish are difficult to get a picture of, since they swim fast and frantically around the tank, but I did manage to snap a shot of the six line wrasse (who is freaking out about all of the new additions to the tank):
















Here are some full shots of the tank:
