Update:

Rocks fell when I started to clean today, so I definitely need to secure those. (Looking into Seachem Reef Glue)

Will most likely be getting the SSS this week!! Super excited for these guys. ;Cat

After the SSS, I will be getting the Royal Gramma.

Looks like its in full swing. Get some hermit crabs to help with that algae!
I was told to stay away from crabs, because they can cause issues in the future? (Specifically with corals?)

I would love to get a couple of hermits, but I was holding off because I was told not to.

I really want a hermit now!! So two would work well in my tank?

I do have a Turbo snail in there now and I was planning on getting one more.

Here is my updated stock list: (most of which I haven’t got yet)
  • 2x DaVinci Clownfish
  • 1x Royal Gramma
  • 1x Watchman Goby
  • 2x Turbo Snails
  • 2x Scarlet Skunk Shrimp
  • 2x Hermit Crabs (I was looking into blue-legged and strawberry)
Does this look good?

Sponge is fine for now , but I try not to put my hands in the tank as much just in case I have oils or something on my hands so this is what I use it’s a magnet and you pull and push on the outside and it cleans the inside

I finally am getting to the algae issue today.

I plan to scrape everything off the glass, then suck it out using the siphon.

Should look much better once I’m done:

The clowns definitely won’t be happy, but it’s for their own good.
