I was totally out of town for a bit over 5 months for work, with very very infrequent and small changes every other month. I have had a lot of time off the last 45 days, and have been feeding very well, and cleaning considerably. The colors since I changed the bulbs has gotten considerably better. Growth seems to have slowed down a bit in the last 6 months, but its been fairly unstable. Nothing has died, though the "blue ridge" coral on the right side has recession fairly heavy on one part, and I am keeping an eye on it.
Lots of random small tube worms and sponges. I think I have all of the bristleworms. They all come out to eat at the same time, and they are everywhere. Its pretty cool looking.
The anemones wander around and are fun to watch. I have more of them right now than I feel comfortable with, but I am committed. Anemones are like tattoos. Once you have too many, you might as well use a laser to get rid of them.
The clown fish are incredibly mean. I don't wear gloves, but I am thinking about it. These peckers have broken my skin, and I have thick skin. I don't know a thing about them, like what color they will be or if this is it with random black and not just orange and white. They were $5/pair as juveniles a few years ago.
I need more crabs and snails. Id like to get an arrow, and some other shrimps, or anemone crab. Crusty crabs are always welcome.
