    Hello Midway.

    Glad to hear of your additions. Recall your “tank rushed” thread – how has the tank been since that point? I see what appears to be a fair amount of diatoms? On your sand and rock. I just peaked back at your old thread and the rock is now definitely covered in algae on the left side – at least it appears so in this small picture.

    What is the water parameters these days? Also, not to be to hypercritical – but is your rock against your glass on the right?

    I hope you enjoy your new additions – keep us posted on how they do !!

    Nice looking tank, to touch on what crimson ghost was pointing out I would add a few scarlet crabs( less aggressive than blue legs) and maybe an emerald and you should be 100% diatom free. Keep updating your pics it looks like its coming along nicely!

    I just looked at another thread you have going - nice pictures of your additions in that thread. I am rather certain that I can see hair algae in one of them as well.

    Have the bioload shifted around now , had removed two yellow tails and a four lined damsel.
    The scooter blenny passed.
    Have added two true black percs and one lawnmower. One emerald crab.

    Total fish one royal gamma , one four lined damsel, two black perc,lawnmower.
    Tank is going on four months.
    Frags doing well. Except blue mushrooms bailing from display rock... Rounding then up on a half shell, not going to try n glue those slimey things

    Congrats on your tank but it is my opinion that you started adding too much livestock at once... my tank is now 8 monts old and I only add one fish or coral once every other month. Also, I encourage you to read the thread about anemones. I wish you the best success but please be aware of the short livespan of most nems and the damage they can do to your tank.
    Anyway, best of luck to you!!

    i dont think that there would be a problem with adding corals too much too fast....as long as you are doing appropriate dosing or waterchanges you should be good to go. my tank has been up 3-4 months i have 2 picasso clowns, 2 shrimp, and 25ish kinds of coral my levels are perfect.
