Caleb's first reef tank

[tbrown]

Looking pretty pretty!

I once had a Cocker Spaniel that we named honey. When we went to pick her out, the breeder showed us her mom. Her name was Pretty Pretty. He said she was so pretty he had to call her that twice!

Both tanks honestly make me happy and are pretty in their own ways. Wish the uglies would go away....but that is a patience thing more than anything else. Crazy how big and happy all the anemones are getting in her tank when I can't keep anything beyond a 'starter coral' happy in mine. Life works in mysterious ways.

Funny on the dog name too, our boxer's name is Honey!

Long time since I've been back! Baby is here, 3 weeks old and keeping us busy. Both tanks are still going strong.

My hair algea problem has been getting better week by week. I think the manual removal as well as the cleanup crew additions have finally helped in turning the tide.

New fish got here today too!

Went with a smaller Tomini tang and also a yellow watchman goby. I have a mccoskers wrasse that didn't pass final QT with Dr Reefs so will have that in a week or two.

Goby is hiding well, but he was settling in well before I lost sight of him. The tang is already picking at algea and settling in well with the clowns. Some nipping between the larger clown and the tang, but no chasing or anything that is leading me to be concerned.

Also got a good picture of one of the porcelain crabs that came in on my live rock almost a year ago!
