Hi everyone, I started this tank in very early February of this year...2022.

I have two Oscellaris clowns, Diamond Goby, Lawnmower Blenny, two Azure Damsel, Flame Angle and a Six Line Wrasse.

I have two Emerald Crabs, a Porcelain Crab and a few hermit crabs. Two Turbo snails and a Tigertail cucumber.

As far as corals and such I have a green bubble tip anemone and a rainbow anemone. A green mushroom, purple people Eater poly, green poly of some sort and a torch coral that lost a head.

I am running a 10g sump with Simplicity protein skimmer.

Only thing I struggle with is keeping alk, magnesium and calcium up.

Ooooh, a tigger tail! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Lol, what does that mean? Good or bad? I have only seen him once since I put him in the tank and that's because I moved a rock. Sometimes in the morning I see a long drag mark in the sand along the glass. I suspect it was from him.

They're good. They're sand sifters, but mainly nocturnal - so they'll usually find a crevice to crawl up into and then stretch out at night to feed. Sometimes they move around a lot - other times they can be very reclusive.

I feel like I bought an invisible fish cause I never see it. But, it was only like $20 so...
