Thanks I designed the rock to be perfect for all the hiding fish/inverts but so I can still see most of them :D and I hope to get new fish within a few days and a school in two weeks or less.

I got some new additions... Most of these photos were taken close to sunset so the "natural" light makes everything look bad... especially at sunset it's kinda yellow.
Halloween hermits... I got 2 they are a nice size... the shell of the large one is bigger then my male clown...

I also got some other cool fish... they are really small... but they are so cool I had to get them... and they make my tank look huge. I got two red headed gobies.

This was one of my 4 DOA... but I threw it in the tank anyways... and lightning fast a Nassarius snail pops out of the sand...

A hermit crab was kinda hungry... he decided to eat a Margarita snail and a couple Nassarius join in on the feast...

I got a Video of my zebras doing some schooling. The darts tend to separate a bit because there isn't enough other fish in the tank... also because they have so many, so they can divide into smaller schools.

I'm glad you guys like it.
Well my darts have chosen their sleeping spot... it's under a rock. I'll see if I can get some video of them going to sleep tomorrow night... I was hoping to get it tonight but they went to be earlier then last night. They now go to sleep while the sun is setting rather then after it's dark.

I got a few more corals today... but I came home in the middle of work, I kinda rushed the whole acclamation thing (only 1 1/2 - 2 hours) Plus I'm not sure how they will like my flow... Also my camera still sucks plus I kicked up a ton of junk while putting the corals in... but anyways here they are anyways; because, without pics, it didn't happen.
