Just read through your 19 pages of oats and love following it! You remind me of myself--excited about every little new development. I just started my 16g nano on July 22nd. No fish yet but I have a small CUC and I do have some polyps that hitchhiker in a live rock. It made it through the cycle and I've noticed a couple extra polyps.

Yes...it is all so exciting...I love to learn new things and this has been quite the journey. Best advice is go slow and steady..it will pay off in the end. Excited to see your progress.

I may just start a thread like yours. I started a blog but haven't done much with it. Will have to update soon.

Nice looking tank, but I see a whole lot of nuisance corals that will overtake the tank eventually. Good luck!
As far as jumpers go, I've lost 2 clowns, a flame angel, and of all things, my mandarin!
Fish do jump regardless of what people tell you. Take for instance the mandarin. I have never seen it anywhere but at the bottom of the tank, forgot to put the lid on one day for roughly 2 hours, came home to find a dried up mandy on the floor.
Fish can and will jump regardless of species.

So far nothing has taken over...the larger GSP is actually not even attached to the rock it's sitting on so I can move it anytime. The smaller one down below is spreading but it's growing very slow. The Kenya tree is also on a rock that I can easily remove and 'trim' so I think I'm pretty good there.
I do have a very cool acrylic lid with air holes now and it's working nicely (so far). The holes are too small for any fish to get through (I think). Time will tell.
Sorry about all of your jumpers. It's so sad to find them that way.

Hi Jen - your tank is looking fantastic!! I love all the growth!! Sorry about your losses...
Bob is pretty greatKeep it up and thanks for the update!
Thanks so much! Nothing new to report really other than BOB is seriously the coolest fish in town. He has 3 'homes' in my tank and loves to change it up every couple of days. He loves building the rocks around him and is on guard every day. I love him!
Everyone is doing great and I am loving the acrylic top that my local fish store made for me!

So I'm sad to report I lost Bob. I went out of town for a few days for a business trip and when I got home, I found what remained of his body. So sad. But I will say for about the past month, he appeared to be blind. Food would drift right by him and it's like he could smell it but couldn't see it. I had to hand feed him every day and as long as I put the food directly in front of him, he was eating and doing his thing.
I will get another one eventually but for now, I've decided to hold off for a bit. I did go ahead and decide to get a yellow watchman goby for the pistol shrimp I have had for about 6 months now. The one I bought with him didn't make the online trip. I was so nervous adding him as for the first 6 hours, he swam around a lot ..mostly at the top acting like he just wanted out of the tank. I woke up the next morning thinking I would
One of my mushrooms is the size of a softball...maybe even bigger. It started as the size of a quarter. Oh and it has 5 babies now. Also my toadstool is massive and one of my favorites as well as my Japanese toadstool.
find him dead as he seemed stressed but in fact I couldn't find him at all. I thought maybe the crab got him or something.
Yesterday I brought home a new addition a neon dottyback and when I added him to the tank I got a peek of the Pistol Shrimp and the YWG in the same burrow. It was awesome. I can't believe they found each other. I never really get to see the shrimp as he barely comes out for me to essentially hand feed and is gone again until the next day.
I have a lost a few corals and some have really taken off. This hobby is so confusing. Ugh.
Still loving this hobby and going to be adding a few new corals to the tank soon to offset the ones I have lost.

Sorry to hear about Bob, but your tank looks amazing! Corals are definitely frustrating, they are very finicky, so even if you have perfect conditions for a hundred species you won't be able to grown a hundred other species. I've been in the hobby for ~15 years and majored in marine bio and I'm still always learning and being surprised. I absolutely love the hobby, but I'm always trying to find ways to minimize any potential losses.
Keep up the good work!
