New Livestock

Big trip to the pet store yesterday where I got a number of new animals to help get the tank in shape and the algae cleaned up.

3 Nassarius Snails @ $4.99 each
3 Blue Leg Hermits @ 2.99 each
3 Turbo Grazers @ 2.99 each
1 Cleaner Shrimp @ $39.99

And I picked up my first soft coral, a small Zoanthid for $39.99. I wanted to test and see how well coral would do in the tank at this stage. for $40, I’m very interested in keeping this alive!

And yes, I got a second shrimp. I thought the first one was so cool, I had to get one that’s more extroverted, a cleaner shrimp.

All in all, a pricey visit to the store, but the tank is now teeming.

    I love this! I have 4 tanks at home (all freshwater) but my son and I have always wanted to set up a marine tank. We’ll be watching….

    It is absolutely fantastic that you are so interested in this hobby, remember though to take it slowly. If you rush anything at this stage then it could be detrimental for a long time to come.

    Enjoy it and take your time.
