Currently have tropical but started my first marine in February. My story so far:-

17.2.16 diatoms spreading to sand
4.3.16 tank cycled and added first cuc and corals:-
2 x nassarius snails
3 x turbo snails
1 x blood fire shrimp
1 x green star polyp
1 x zoa polyp
1 x mushroom rhodactis
5.3.16 added:-
1 x clove polyps
1 x xenia
1 x zoa
1 x nassarius snail
12.3.16 added:-
3 x red legged hermit crabs
15.3.16 added:-
2 x clowns :)
25.3.16 - 3 blue tunicates appeared :) and Aiptasia :(
28.3.16 added:-
2 x peppermint shrimps (eaten Apitasia) :(
1 x twin head purple feather duster
1 x yellow pistol shrimp and 1 x red banded goby pair
31.3.16 added:-
1 x xmas tree coral
1 x cabbage leather coral
1 x zoa plug
In love with my tank - spend so many hours watching it - who needs at television!!
Nitrates and Phosphates a bit high so going to try a 20% water change today and have ordered some biohome.
Read a lot before I bought the tank and have done non-stop researching since, however, still a very steep learning curve and realise how much there is to learn!
