After a bit of a delay due to lousy weather in Tampa, I received part 2 of a 200 gallon package for my 280 gal tank . I am really glad I made the decision to go with TBS. Besides the listed critters with part 2, Richard sent some great freebies. I received 4 flower anemones, a couple decorator crabs, couple gorgonians, some tree sponges, and some zoas. This rock is loaded with life, mostly good, but a few bad critters, but those can be removed with a little work. There are countless porcelain crabs, copepods, a few gorilla crabs, red mithrax crabs, feather dusters, 2 hitchhiker starfish(beside the 4 I received w/ package), mini brittles, and a mantis. Mantis has already been moved to a different tank. I absolutely love the porcelain crabs with their waving nets. Due to a leaking holding tank for my corals and fish, I was forced to put them into the display only 2 days after part 2 went into the tank. I would have preferred waiting at least a week or two, but unfortunately, I had no choice. So far, all livestock is doing great. Great polyp extension on the corals and fish seem happy as can be. I have been testing for ammonia twice a day, and w/part 2 there is no ammonia. Part 1 had a little, but quickly dropped to zero.
I am planning on doing a better job with landscaping, but will have to do til I get some time.
