    I already posted this on another thread but wanted to add it to my tank thread. I added a total of 6 zoa clusters, 1 trumpet and 1 toadstool over the last week. Can't seem to get any good pics, still working on that! Trip to the LFS tomorrow to pic up some of my cleanup crew, here is my list so far:
    Emerald Green Crab: 1
    Margarita Snail: 5
    Mexican Turbo: 1
    Nassarius Snail: 15
    Trochus Snails: 5
    Bumble Bee Snail: 5

    Mainly concentrating on detrius, diatoms, and a little on random algae. Will also pick up Mg, PH, and Nitrate test kits to add to my Ca and Alk kits I already have. I've been borrowing Ogle's testers to perform the random tests I have done, time to buy some.

    Plans changed a little!! Here is the list of stuff I got today:

    5 Trochus Snails
    12 Nerite Snails
    1 Mexican Turbo
    5 Astrea Snails
    6 Cerith Snails
    15 Nassarius Snails
    1 Emerald Green Crab

    Also picked up a Maxijet 1200 with the impeller mod kit, anyone have experience with these?? I know it will take lots of adjusting, I turned it on for a sec earlier and it caused a tornado in my sand;D! Knew this would happen, I'll just have to play with it. I think all but 1 snaill made it! WOOOHOOO!! They are going to town on my diatoms...

    Tank really is looking nice Bryce. Guess I'm going to have to work extra hard to get the 180 beat into submission so my old 55 doesn't make it look like a turd... :angry:

    Thanks Kris, keep after it!! Let's get to work on it soon, it'll be raining too much to do anything else the next week anyhow!
    Trying to keep ahead of the game as much as my time, wallet, and wife will allow! What's 100+ bucks a week anyways, a new car??

    Got the powerhead worked out, I love all the flow!! For 35 bucks you can't beat it, around 2500 gph in the tank now:eek:! NOTHIN sets around stagnant in my ocean!!
