A couple of weeks in and things are going decently well! Introducing clowns has been much more stressful than I anticipated!
Yes, I said a couple of weeks. My tank was bought as an established set up with live rock, GSP, an orange storm clown, a pajama cardinal, and four scarlet hermit crabs. It went through a mini cycle as the bacteria recovered from the move and is now experiencing a mini ugly phase as parameters stabilize. CUC was added after the tank finished cycling (I added extra bacteria to give it a boost), and now I'm working on introducing a black and white ocellaris to my orange storm. My orange storm is a butt so she's in breeder box jail for a bit.
Day #1 (RE CONTINUED) updating my tank
Bought a turbo snail and RBTA (red bubble tip anemone) yesterday
And the anemone was looking fine today.
except the snail... Still hiding in shell (still alive
Quarantineing the Tangs before I move them to the new tank. Inplant to add a few new fish before these guy get in there. So this way the new fish have time to establish them selves while the tang gang takes a break.
I setup a quarantine tank setup for a new fish and live rock. Been a few days now. Got this out of the live rock today. Can I get help knowing what some of these things are? New to saltwater beginner here.
