Setting up a new tank. Lifegard 11g long. Just adding newly made saltwater (measured salinity 1.026 with refractometer). Made a custom stand that is only 9 inches deep. Using the Smatfarm light I bought as a backup last year, but didn't like the mount so just mounted it on a wall bracket.

About 6 weeks later or so. New sand, and some corals moved over from my 25G. Picked up a new snail cleanup crew, cleaner shrimp, two rock flowers, and one yellow banded possum wrasse at New England Frag Farmer's Market a couple weeks ago. Also have neon cleaner goby, bangaii cardinal, and a sailfin molly in there now. Still fighting some diatoms.

The yellow/orange sailfin molly had babies about 3 weeks ago. Luckily it was over a weekend and I was able to save about 30-40 of them. Have been growing them out(in 1.026) in a small 0.5 G plastic tank I had laying around. Another week or two to fatten them up and I should be able to transfer them to my 11G tank without them getting eaten. After they grow out there for a bit I can them transfer a couple to my 25G.

Have around 50 saltwater sailfin mollies which are now about 1.5-2" long between my two tanks. Need to start finding new homes for them.

Restarted my Waterbox 25 in Jan. Rockwork made it too hard to clean the sandbed so going more minimal on the rockwork.
