1st Marine Tank Diary

Hey it's looking good. Don't rush adding additional stock to your tank, I know how tempting it can be but you may end up regretting it further down the line.

So what are your plans for your tank, fish only or some corals as well?

Noticed that you stated amounts in pounds, hurahh, another fellow UK reefer on the forum!!

Thanks for your comments guys, i intend on going slow over the next couple of months adding bits of LR at a time, clean up crew going in soon, & plan on adding mostly fish at first then later on maybe a couple of anemones,
Later on down the line maybe upgrade a bit of equipment, and who knows , watch this space.

Starting to get some of that nasty looking browny algae now,



Added a new piece of LR to the tank today, & thats not all i got with it a hitchiker that can only be described as a hairy slug? when i see it again i will snap it.This is my new piece.will be getting some more wednesday...

[baugherb]

Hang in there....... Looking great.......

thats some good lR if i came with snails and a chrismas tree worm! and that hairy slug is either a nudi or a stomatella. Does it appear to have a flat-ish shell on back?

[Stingray]

It doe's not look like it has a shell but i may be wrong, next time i spot it i will try and take a pic.
