Ok, I'm being a board hog tonight. Here are some shots of the Nano and some of the life on the Part 1 rock. This tank has been a challenge to cycle :crazy1:

Here is a limpet snail:

A clam hitchhiker with a small colony of yellow tunicates! WAY cool

Yes, this is the 6 gallon tank. As of today:
Ammonia = 0 ppm
Nitrites = .50 ppm
Nitrates = 10 ppm

When Nitrites are 0, I will send for Part 2.

Anemones? Excellent! They looked like sponges.

Does the big jewfish still visit the site? What's the viz lately?
