[Unicorn]

Working on it. 6-line and spot blenny have been moved from QT to DT today and we r currently on our way to LFSs to see what they have. Hoping for b/g chromis or aust b&w clowns... But doubt it
Once we get back tonight I'll post some pics

So far snatched 3 corals hahaha Kenya tree, toadstool, and zoas... I think I have a zoa-addiction... I Got like 6-7 different ones in a 5 month period LOL

No decent fish yet. Checked out one LFS and found a sea apple!!! Omg almost got it, but I doubt my tank is established enough. Took a pic though

Driving to my regular LFS now... Keep u updated

Driving home with my catch of the day: b&w clown pair, 2 cleaner shrimp and the corals mentioned above

they are not australian b&w's but they are almost all black with only a bit of yellow. It's really important to me that most stuff is tank bred, and these two sweeties are <3

 

[coffeetwitch]

As long as you like them.

I know right?! It's really hard to not throw them into the DT but I wanna do it right and as long as they show no signs of anything the qt time doesn't have to be too long

Here are the promised pictures. If you have any suggestions for my SPS and/or the algae (zero phos and lights are in for 9hrs, good strong current) please comment!!!

Aren't those Picasso clowns really expansive?

Dunno, did u see the base of the SPS? It's completely white :,( what should I do?
I moved it down some. Maybe that'll help ?!

Not bad did they have em in pairs?

 

[coffeetwitch]

[coffeetwitch]

They r doing great! I woke my boyfriend up with a I-got-black-and-white-clownfishies song LOL
Did a water change in the big tank. Won't do or add anything more right now, worried that I'm going to fast LOL

 

[coffeetwitch]
