They called me to change an order (Green Snow Globe Bubble Tip Anemone replaced with Green Long Tentacle Anemone). Because the Snow Globe wasn't doing well. When I also added the Ultra Mini Carpet Anemone, they also threw in some frags (zoa) for free, all this without changing the price, because it's a large order, but I guess I got a good deal, not to mention good service as well. I think the guy who called me was Asian...I wonder if lots of Asians are into reef tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here's what I have as of now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From before:<strong><br>2 x Clarkiis<br>2 x Lightning Blue Damsels<br>2 x 3 Spot Domino Damselfish<br>around 40 lbs of live rocks <\/strong>(first one from Petco, the rest pink &amp; white from Ebay)<strong><br>2 x yellow clown gobies<br>1 x chocolate chip starfish<br>2 x feather dusters<br>some emerald crabs<\/strong> (I don't exactly know how many because they came with the Petco live rock, but they were at least 3-4, I would say more than that)<strong><br>1 x Leather Finger<br>1 x Kenya Tree<\/strong> (dying)<strong><br>1 x zoa<\/strong> (From FirstChoice)<br><br>Now:<br><strong>1 x Ultra Mini Carpet Anemone<br>1 x Green Long Tentacle Anemone<br>1 x Purple-tip Hydra Bubble Tip Anemone<br>1 x Green Pipe Organ<br>1 x Purple Corkscrew Long Tentacle Anemone<br>1 x CA Ruby Red Pulsing Xenia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also received some test kits from Hanna and the Seneye Reef Monitor which is good for checking PAR and I found out that my PAR is very low...close to zero with the light that I have, so yesterday (6\/18) from Aquaridise:<br>1 x Fluval Marine &amp; Reef 2.0 LED Strip Light, 59 Watts (48\") $209, Amazon sold it for $190 but I couldn't wait for 3 days until Monday, wasn't even sure how well it's PAR would be. And they gave me about $5 discount, so it's good. Hopefully this will save the Kenya Tree, but I am not counting on it too much.<br>1 x Dr. Tim's One and Only Saltwater Live Nitrifying Bacteria for 60 gal tank, pour all of it.<br>1 x Fritz-Zyme 9 Saltwater 16 oz. (For dealing specifically with Ammonia and Nitrite, which I am high on now)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fluval light looks great. Blue light even made the corals glow. But it was only the night, more time is needed. And I dumped Dr. Tim's bacteria in, with filter running (hopefully this has nothing to do with the warning not to leave filter socks in on the label). Haven't tried Fritz-Zyme 9 yet, we'll see.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last time I did something like this, was around the time in St. James, during my first marine tank (20 Gal) where I ordered some pigmy seahorses from I think Hawaii.
