Sorry for the lack of updates guys! I've been super busy.

So here's the basic:
The tank now has: GARF Bonsai, Slimer, Lavendar, Sunset Milli, and a Green Pocci, plus a frogspawn. All pretty small frags unfortunately $$ is tight.

Pictures later.

Sorry for the crappy pics, camera troubles.

It looks to be coming along nicely. I actually picked me up a Halloween hermit not that long ago too. Such a pretty colored hermit. However they will only except cone shells (like the one you got them in). I still have to find me some so my guy can grow. They get fairly sizeable.

Yeah, I got a few from the LFS... I can't wait to see him grow. He's super cool.

As you can tell I'm not the best at sorting through pics....
Ordered some Kalk to start a dosing regime on the tank... Been feeding a mix of foods to the corals lately but not drasstic imporvement.
Growth on the Valida, Milli, Uknown is really talking off in the past few days.
