Hahaha no room for any other tanks. I’m shocked how perfectly that 5 gallon fit. I really should put a lid on it but at the moment there is no lid.

It’s been a little bit of time since everyone has heard from me but that’s because I was waiting on the rock from kp aquatics. It’s been delayed for two weeks due to weather so I didn’t mind since that happens. But FINALLY TODAY I RECEIVED IT!!!!!
Feedback:
Overall really happy with the rock! It did unfortunately have a couple pieces that had a little bubble algae but all the life on the rock was incredible. I genuinely loved receiving all the cool and different sized pieces and I only ordered 15 pounds! As the days progress I will continue you to add more feedback.

Day 2 update on the rock. Last night I preformed my first 5 gallon water change. Today ammonia was around .5 to 1ppm so I went ahead and did another 5 gallon water change today in the morning. Water was a little cloudy prior to the rock so it isn’t anything that I’m too worried about.

Day 6 update. I decided to finally add the sand (Fiji pink) yesterday and then waited to today to do a 10 gallon water change. There was almost a film all over the rocks. Almost seemed like it was due to the added sand. Should go away within a few days.

Day 9 update. Everything had cycled the water was clear and I performed another 10 gallon water change. Some sponges died a little but a majority of them are still there and I love it!

Finally was able to bring my two nemos home who have been in a holding tank. They have been with me for around 8 years so partially got a tank because somehow I couldn’t let go of them. Funny how we can get attached to fish haha.

I have a Yellow tail Damsel.. and a Yellow tang. Been with me maybe 8 years, they have been through many moves and tanks! Now with a big family of fish. You wouldn't believe what these guys have survived!

thank you!!! Funny story about crazy things. The originally clownfish in the photos was my first clownfish I ever bought. I then gifted to my mom when I gifted her a 50 gallon sca tank. After a about 3 years it she told me it went missing. I came over and we thought maybe it died and one of the shrimp ate over time and she just never noticed. A year after that we were tearing the tank down and that clownfish appeared to be in the tiny back camber of the overflow this entire time. After that I knew I could never get rid of this fish.

Decided to pick up 4 trochus snails, a bumble snail and a nassarius snail. Not much but never a fan a huge clean up crew. Also this was from a new place so I wanted to see how they did.

Haven’t updated much but definitely a lot has happened. Had an algae bloom that was expected but the snails plus a few Mexican turbos snails took care of it.
