few pieces of Xenia
Kenya tree frag
1 Red Mushroom(1 baby)
1 small toadstool leather
1 Pink Haitin Anenome

i know its early for a nem but i got it for free! its doing fine so far but if it does not continue doing well i will send it to a better home!

*Im currently dosing using Seachem Reefpacks(Fundamentals, Enhancer) and kalk. Doing 10% water changes weekly with Reef Crystals!

One problem..i have some algae on the back of my tank(typical of a new tank) and its turning my water a murky/green color! Im running carbon in the HOB filter. Will that take care of the problem or should i be doing more?

Il upload pics tonight!
