Good buy my friend, averything looks great.
Thanks Al, I love everything...
Just a little update for everyone. I ordered some snails and they arrived and are in the tank, I ordered sails from here on SWF.com. To start with I got 10 Astrea/Turbos, 10 Nerite, 10 Cerith, and 10 Nassarius and thats it. How many more of each should I get and what else should I get. I know that I want a few Hermits in there, and yes I know a lot of people feelings on them but I want just a few of them Also, want to get a few Emeralds how many do you think would be good? Also I want to get a few cleaners shrimp at some point. This weekend I will be transferring the coral and the fish over to the 75g so stay tuned for some pics. Thank you to everyone who is following along.
Scott =)

You should get a conch. I love mine. I think they are neat to watch. As far as the snail additions, I would just watch the tank and see how it goes and if you start seeing algae build in a certain area of the tank, then buy snails that will work on that area. I don't buy into the 1 snail per gallon of water hype. I hate crabs, but if you insist on emeralds just do a pair. Cleaner shrimp are neat to watch.

Looking good! Those mushrooms will really multiply. I have the same ones (or similar rather) and I got them as a freebie. They are all over my tank now.
Thanks Krista, So you are saying that I should not have got them... LOL Uh oh...... I thought it was a good price and they are still mad because they were just added to the tank a few hours ago, so I am sure that they will look better tomorrow...

Also, check the flow in that area. I'm sorry that I missed that.
I am going to redirect all the powerheads and see where that gets me. I just did a water change on the tank yesterday too. I also only have my lights on for a short time, the Actinics come on at 3 pm, the day lights on at 4 pm, the day lights off at 10pm and the actinics out at 11 pm. what else can I do to get rid of it. OMG WTG Its a new Tank for God Sake. lol wouldnt you know it would happen to me...

Let's see if this worked
OK I see where you are talking about, so what do I do? Should I add the other power head that I have to the tank, I have all 3 of the ones in the tank running now. could put the 5th on in on the side panel of the tank and have it flow in the back of the tank so that there is more water flow at the bottom of the tank?
