Album: My first tank

My first tank. 30 gallon drilled with a 20 gallon sump, still very much a work in progress. It was setup on 9-14-08, or somewhere around there. I expected a cycle but didn't receive one, I got all my rock locally and I guess it was cured well enough, it's been pretty much solid water-wise since day one.

Some hitchhiking stick thing, the red fuzzy stuff on it is strange, I'm not sure if it's algae but a turbo snail seemed to eat some of it off and it has some bare patches. The red fuzz does not appear to spread anywhere, it just grows on this stick, I don

This is sort of a strange looking polyp. It was a hitchiker on the rock and it doesn't have tentacles around the skirt like most zoas/palys that I've seen pictures of. I thought maybe it was some sort of anemone but I haven't been able to find a good pict
