Stage four

Ah stage four a great step for us where we were able to add live stock that we wanted not what came with the live rock. Lets see first new addition where the fire shrimps you see on the right they do hide alot, but they do let themselves be known when it is feeding time. They bully the other shrimp when they get too close to there home but stay to themselves. As you can see on the photo on the right they have plenty of spaces
to hide.

The peppermint shrimp are even more elusive they come out only at night, and that photo took a long time to get. He was added to the tank to help with the aiptasia problem and they seem to be working so no new growth and declining in the ones we do see so yip yee. Our pride and joy even to this day is the
flame angel you see to the right a brillant orange with black markings and royal blue tip on his fins. flame angel

This guy has a lot of personality
trying to be the big fish in the tank but we'll see how long that lasts when we get a tang in there, but for now he is the top fish. Last but not least the coral frags that we added, four to be exact the the mushroom polyp to the left and the three different button polyps below and these are what makes a reef tank great as you will see. To all friends and family stay tuned more is to come.
