Hey guys just showing you some pics. Some update of what I already have and some new fellows I got yesterday.
Alright fromt top to bottom.
1.One of my new fish The Bluefin Damselfish is also called the Black Damselfish, Bowtie Damselfish, Yellow-back Damsel, and Royal Damsel. He will turn solid black as he gets older.
2.Another one of my new fish 3 or three striped damsle. I guess he could be a four if you did the white instead .
3.My emerald crab he gave me a good shot earlier but I had to delete it he wasnt so nice with a remake.
4.I guess this is my last sally lightfoot. My two bigger ones fanished for no reason and this guy was the smallest now he is as big as they were.
5.My starfish he is hiding in the open lol.

Well the rust color is probly diatoms mine did that to. I think all new tanks go through that. All I did was got 4 shells with coralline algea on it a few peices of live rock and 1 clam shell with coralline algea on it. I only got 4 or 5 peices of live rock all roughly softball size and only one had color on it. The rock had stuff growing on it so I didnt scrub it I only worked with the clam shell. The other shells were to hard to hold onto and scrub. I took a razor and cut the coralline algea off the clam mantel until it didnt have any color on it. The little peices of coralline algea started the spread and now I have color. The other side of my tank would look the same but one of my bulbs broke "I have a new one coming though" so it will take off before long. jer4916 what is your email mabey I can spread the wealth and help you out.
