Well soon to be anyways, I'm currently having some glass algae issues so please excuse that.

A few things, this tank is about a 7 months old, I havent had any issues yet. The reason I am posting this is to show that ... well its all still alive, thats good! But also the new lighting system just made everything a LOT happier. The anemone is looking good again, he was half that size 2-3 weeks ago. Showing off the new jawfish and toad stool, along with some shrooms.

Anyways let me know what you think.

My pair of false percs, they have been "Cleaning" the area around their home, I think they may be in the mood for spawning ?

Full tank shot, literally adding more LR every month or so, I buy most of it from Premium aquatics or from local hobbyists taking a break.

I got the middle guy about a month ago when he was the size of a quarter, behind those two there are about 3 more the size of a dime, quite a lot of growth I would say.

I'm sure some of you noticed the aiptasia, it sucks - but I went to the LFS and they actually had Peppermint shrimp that ate it - made them prove it, and was shocked to see a rock with 3 or 4 aiptasia on it torn to shreds as soon as it was added in the tank. Needless to say in the last 4 nighs half the pests are gone, and I'm so happy it hurts. Also the new light system is the Aqua life Pro retrofit kit...

Thanks

Also just throwing this out there, I will be building a new sump some time this week, so the chaeto you see in the home aquarium will not be there for long, I just added it because it was free, and I never say no to free.

Good start!!!
Is that a candy cane colony behind the mushrooms? If so did you buy it that big or is growing for you?
