Starting Tank Again - Advice Please (pics)

If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
The only thing I did pick up this weekend is a third Mono. One of the Mono's I have is kind of a bully and was picking on the other so I added a third to spread out the aggression. It seemed to work. The bully is still the aggressive one but at least it's not the constant picking on one.

The few stores I did visit this weekend had 0 stock. I am putting together a list as my local store is going to special order some fish for me.

I hope to have some more updates with pics and video soon.
 
Hey everyone,

Thanks for asking about updates! I have been crazy busy at school the past couple of weeks and haven't had much time to get anything new. I did pick up 2 new Mono Sebae's (the black one's) and they are a really cool addition to the tank.

I still need to get more rock, plants, and I would like to add a couple of puffers still. All my LFS are slim on stocking in the Brackish department. They said I could special order some puffers but I haven't had a chance to turn in the order form yet. :(

I continue to test the tank regularly and it has been rock solid (knock on wood) as I continue to have 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrites. No spikes whatsoever. PH and KH have been very stable, even with water changes.

All the fish are doing great and feeding time is something else to see. Talk about a frenzy! I will eventually get some video up of them feeding to share.

The next thing I need to take care of though is my tank is located near a big window and gets quite a bit of sunlight, not direct, but enough to make the algae grow pretty fast. I am looking at getting an ultra violet sterilizer. Has anyone used these before or have any experience? I was told that it would get rid of all the Algae. I just wouldn't want it to get rid of any good bacteria.
