Well, as promised, here's some photos of things so far. I haven't seen any "bad" critters so far, but I think I have a mantis shrimp because today I've heard a pop sound occassionally when I've been close to the tank. As for hitchhikers, I've got several snails, some worms and a few unidentified creatures that I've seen. Also had a couple of tiny little green crabs that were in the sedement when I took my rocks out of the shipping boxes. There's been a spike of ammonia to about .5 I'm keeping an eye on it if I need to do a water change. There are lots of other "live" things in there, but I need to take more pictures.
