Gorgeous, comrade. I remember my niece when she was 6, now she's 16. Time Flies.

For the first time saw a gurnard fish. Not a red gurnard fish, it looked like camouflage. It swam, when it saw my Chihuahua Dog in my arms. I was at a LFS. At first I thought I saw a bird in the tank. I want one.

Looks kind of like a mutant Scooter Blenny. Even a little like a Sea Robin. Thanks for sharing it!

The diatoms start to show up. Today I got 2 pistol shrimp gobies, 1 pistol shrimp and ten more hermit crabs. The hermits start to clean the sand directly

This how it look in the moment they enter the system

Three hours later

The pistol shrimp - species unknown

Need to share, funny.

Lasse, I know you are a hermit connoisseur, do you have preferences or restrictions for particular species only?

 

[Lasse]

No I get what I find and do a valuation afterwards. I stay away from the large beach hermits - love the small ones. I have few Calcinus elegans because - IMO - it have a bad surviving rate at least in my tanks. I love the small species - there is one from Caribbean - very small with grey to black legs and this very small with red legs that have done a lot of good things in my aquariums. But my philosophy is - as many species as possible - the more niches will be covered.

Today - 3 days after my last 10 hermits arrive - it looks better with the diatoms - they does their job

Looking so good already, that rock background is something else... pinching that idea for a future tank, even found a supplier in the uk...

Yes - and you can do so much with the modules. You do not need to staring at an ugly pump - you only see a rock and not the water coming out of it if you do it well. You can have filter inside, or what ever.

[Lasse]

The diatoms is slowly been eaten - make place for green algae

Ok i know theres got to be one in there somewhere.. where have you hid the powerhead?? A great start to the tank... Adrine is going to be delighted...

 

[Lasse]

I have no power head in this tank. It is around 75 liter and the return pump gives around 1000 l/h. It is a rather good flow. I was thinking of upgrading the return pump to one DC pump at 2000 l/h - but we will see. I have also the possibility to mount a module in the upper right corner and hide a small RW 4 there. The outlet from the return is in upper right corner

Lol that explains why I couldn’t see one, I know how you love hiding them and thought you had done a really good job with this tank...
