So!
My birds nest is growing... like crazy growth. It was just a couple of branches to equal 3 or so inches when I got it. Now there's little buds all over it. So exciting! Especially since I plan on having a bunch of sps in the tank.
My UV light broke a week or so ago. Unfortunately, the bacteria came back. ARGH! I bought new bulbs and its set back up now. I hope I don't have to run the UV forever. I suppose if I do, its not THAT big of a deal, but it will be really irritating quickly if the bulbs keep on breaking. But I had it mounted horizontally in my sump. Now its vertical in my tank, so we'll see how long it lasts. The bulbs aren't that expensive, at least.
My clowns are out and about lots now, too. I want to get an anemone for them asap. I'm leaning towards a long-tentacle. I really want something that'll stay in the sand bed, as I don't want too much else there. The only real issue I see with that idea is that I want little gobies. I'm going to get captive bred where possible, but I love goby/shrimp pairings, and while there were some bred and raised recently, I don't know when/if they'll be available, and if they'll be paired.
Soon my tank will be full of little peaceful fish though. And sps! And an anemone! And clams. Derasa are my favorite, even if they don't have the super colors that you see with the others. Then again, if I can find a green maxima...
