Are you going to put any corals in your tank? I think it would look 10x better if there was a couple. Not that it doesnt look amazing right now.

 

[jason1985]

Yea I will be putting in some Coral... I just have to get the tank well established first... I will slowly add a few more thing next month

 

[Zer0]

good idea.

 

[jason1985]

my next purchases will be 1 or 2 shrimp gobies a maybe dwarf blue tang and pipefish

Just remember to take it slow and you might rethink the pipefish, not the hardiest of animals.

Ok off topic a little! I see your picture and I want to say god bless all the troops overseas. I have much respect for you and the rest for defending our country.

 

[jason1985]

I will be taking it slow and see what happens. I have a 180g sitting on the floor in the spare bedroom. Future Project

how common is it that hermet crabs eat snails and take over their shells... I have 10 snails now it appears to be down to 8 with 2 hermets walking around with the snail shells...
