Nice & Welcome to R2R if I didn't catch your 1st post.

Well made some progress. Received the tank, painted the back black then added sand and aqua scaped. I put water and acclimated fish now they are learning their home.

 

[joejstutes]

Fish ate well and all water test were good so it has been a good start let’s hope it stays that way.

I'm assuming the rock was pre-cycled?

No the rock wasn’t pre-cycled but I have been following the budget build videos on the SaltwaterAquarium youtube channel which he uses fish and Mr. Tim’s to cycle the tank.

 

[joejstutes]

Well got behind on my build thread and the additions. Wheeler goby aka Kenny. Fire fish aka Reba. 10 blue legged hermit crabs aka nitty gritty dirt band and 5 snails aka Alabama.

Getting some coral placement thanks to those very addictive live sales.

 

[joejstutes]

Figuring out what corals like what spots and then a second tank falls in my lap for free so now I have two tanks to feed my addiction to this hobby until I upgrade larger. In the new tank or a pair of small flurry ocellaris aka Garth and Trisha.

 

[joejstutes]

Here’s my new addition as of today a pistol shrimp aka waylon making his bond with Kenny.

 

[joejstutes]

Well that is my first casualty of the fish tank hobby and I tell you I was pretty angry. I had a pistol shrimp for less than 12 hours and my cleaner shrimp kills him.

Are you sure this isn't the molted exoskeleton of the pistol shrimp?

 

[joejstutes]

I’m sure I looked it over good and had to take it out of the cleaner shrimps feelers
