The tank survived over 48 hours of power loss as a result of Hurricane Isabel!

Purchased:

2 Nass snails

1 small Perc

A new frag with 2 Leathers, a Feather Duster, and mystery yellow stuff.

Some empty shells for the crabs

 

Looks like one "empty" shell has some spaghetti worms in it, yay. 2 tentacles foraging across the sand and pulling it back into its shell house.

Levels are all good. 6 very small blue hermits added a few days ago. Seems like they cleaned the LR a little TOO good. Eating all my coraline. Had a small feather duster tube appear out of some coral, think they ate him too as I no longer see a red dot inside the mouth of the tube. :unsure:

 

A star polyp has opened up on one of the LR.

First spike in nitrites reading at .25

Coraline is looking good. No water change planned til cycle completes.

Here's the first shot after 1 month, very minor diatom growth, just added cured Vavau live rock last night... and now for... the... waiting...

I suggested a smaller PH for maximum room available inside the nano. Both the above mentioned PH's have a pretty substantial flow in such a small evironment. Plus I like the smaller look, more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
