Weekly notes- week 4
My tank is done cycling and I am very excited to be adding some new members. I started this week by visiting rivers to reefs in Columbus. I was only there for 20 minutes. In those 20 minutes I was blown away with how nice this LFS was compared to what I have seen. There display tanks were very nice and looked awesome. They also had a very nice and extensive display of corals. I am looking to get rid of one of my two Mexican turbo snails and I am also looking to trade my two Astraea snails in for two trochus snails. I also added two Nassaruis snails tonight. Tomorrow I am visiting a place in North Canton, Ohio called Ocean Rift aquarium. I went there a few weeks back and it was really awesome. I am going to pick up a species of clownfish along with a kenya tree frag.

I came home with this being delivered to my house two days before I got back! I got the AquaMaxx nemolight from Marine Depot. I am very pleased with this purchase and I cant wait to program sunrise and sunset schedule.
How do you like the light so far?

I like the light a lot it is very slim and sleek. It gives me and my tank kind of a professional feel because its so nice. The only problem I have with the light is not the lights fault haha. I need to get up at 8am or 9am to begin timer mode for sunrise/sunset schedule and that is pretty early for me. :spin1:

New tank mates
New tank mates
This photo was taken during acclimation. I drip acclimated my new tank mates for 45 minutes. My new tank mates include a clownfish, green bubble anemone and a leather coral. Yes the anemone looks huge, when I was picking out which one I wanted they told me the two in the corner was two. I said just give me one of those. Well as they were pulling it off the glass the "two" stayed together. The LFS said it was splitting and gave it to me for the same price as one.

This is the photo of the new leather coral I got from LFS. I am not sure how I feel about this coral yet. I had one of the workers with me and I pointed to a coral in the display tank and asked if they had any frags similar to it. The one in the display tank was brown and green, the one I received is brown bottom and a brown top. I thought the green one looked cool and I'm not sure how I feel about this more brown one yet.

I am most excited about this purchase. I went to the store knowing I didn't want a basic a clownfish so I wanted to get something a little different. I got pretty lucky with this fish. This fish was actually in one of the display tanks at aquatica with a lot of rock work so the worker had one chance to get the fish. sure enough he got em.

This picture was taken at 10:00am this morning, once again you can see the green bubble anemone moved all the way across the tank to the left side. I hope this anemone finds a home soon because I heard it will sting my coral and I would not like that. As much as I want the anemone to stop moving I do not like the placement of the anemone for viewing haha.

I came home tonight to find my anemone looking like it is going to move again. Hopefully nothing bad happens while sleeping. one good thing that made me happy was I also came home to my clownfish swimming through my anemone and then it was also just chilling in it.

So I am going to start 5 gallon water changes every other week starting tomorrow. I bought pre mix salt water from LFS and it has sat in a jug for 4 weeks now. with that being said, do I need to heat and circulate that 5 gallon before I put it in the tank?

I had mentioned this last night, I know it is basically the same thing but instead of doing a five gallon change once every two weeks, I am going to do a 2.5 gallon water change every Monday. Ill post tonight to update how everything went.
