Looking Great!
Those clowns look a bit lonely. But be patient, you can plan now while waiting what company you want to get them!

like i said, think i'm gonna concentrate on equipment for now, then livestock. need to get some mh, then set up my wet/dry and fuge, calcium skimmer, etc. once i get that stuff done, i will slowly start stocking up. i'm sure i will add some corals throughout the process, but gotta wait a little while for my tank to finish seeding. been researching fish to pass the time and i am really starting to get attached to banggai cardinal fish, but that might change 100 times from now and when i'm ready to add some fish!! the one thing that is a definite to add is a mandarin goby, but that will be at least a year away!  i LOVE the look of those things, and they got a great personality!  | |
