I dunno. There is no ammonia, no action from the skimmer and we used live sand, great rock from Premium Aquatics and it is squeaky clean. I am thinking we might have to put a fish and a couple of clean up critters in there and maybe start a Xenia colony or something.

I am going to make a nice lunch for my fair half for when she gets off work and see if she might be up for a trip to the LFS.

We went to the LFS but I left the camera on so the battery is dead right now. I'll show you pics of the world's smallest Xenia frag and a gorgeous leather in a bit. We also got two fish (one of them is really girly) and some inverts.

That was fun. Our LFS interrogates you before you buy anything for age of tank, size and general questions about husbandry. Some folks get put off but I am glad they don't sell you stuff that does not have a chance of living.

My friend Naveen at work kept following this thread and I guess he was in this morning buying one of those 29 gallon Eclipse thingys. He has a couple of fresh water tanks but decided to switch over.

The firefish is hiding but here are some shots of our first stocking foray. The yellow leather is just stunning.



Here is our little camera poser



And our setup under the moonlights
