My week old pico reef

Interesting, never seen a clown do that. FWIW, bristleworms are great detritivores.

Nah, I like them

I much prefer to see corals and

Now that the nitrate is more than 2 my leather corals have really expanded and the Kenya tree has its polyps completely extended. They must be happy they have fish friends in there with them. Also seen a couple small feather dusters appear.

I think I need to stop eyeing the one wall in my house, or my lfs needs to hurry up and sell the used 100 gallon complete kit before the next time I go there... $700 for tank, stand, canister filter, skimmer, lights, and canopy. Main problem is unless I get rid of the one wall.... and closet.... there is no room in house for it. It is very tempting to go buy some BIG sawzall blades and start eliminating that wall....... Would have to do it on weekends though when the city office is closed, since my town you need a permit to sneeze.....

And now the reality of the hobby sets in for you. You're always going to be eyeing up a bigger tank

Nothing wrong with that

Found a few corals I would love to have on the Reef Bay app market place, an octospawn, hammer, and torch.... and they are local to me, however the person selling them said I would wait a bit before adding those, they can be difficult and I will usually always have some frags of them available. UGH.

Yeah, the tank is only a couple weeks old so, I'd hold off on adding corals for now. If you're hell bent on getting some corals in there, I'd recommend some of the hardier corals like Zoas, Mushrooms or Green Star Polyps.

The biggest reason we recommend waiting to add coral (beside ensuring the tank parameters are stable) is to ensure the new/newer hobbyists have a good understanding of tank chemistry and maintenance.

I’ve got a Kenya tree, toadstool, leather, candy cane, and zoas.

Oh, yeah, I had forgotten about those.

 

[Brian60077]

Don’t think it can be any more stable than this.
