Daily video: adding fish: those orange storms are sweet. It’s funny they mentioned gobies, clowns, and cardinals. They exactly what I started with. But, The cardinal is a jerk to my goby. He’s just silly and darts all over

Good call on the orange clowns instead of the black ones. You would have never seen them.

I'm curious - a lot of companies have begun moving away from recommending drip acclimation due to a possibility of ammonia buildup. Do you guys recommend using drip for shipped specimens as well?

So glad you mentioned the stomatella snails - I just added them to my TSA order coming this week!

I mean, I've only been advocating for Stomatellas for the last 2 weeks on Amanda and Joel's threads...

Gosh those clownfish are GORGEOUS. I’d love to possibly have a seahorse tank one day myself.

Build Thread Updated!

Build Thread - ESHOPPS Mariner 70 Build

So everything in my tank is looking good except the two small frags of ROAB Digi. I don't think they're going to make it. Honestly though, I fragged the small colony because it was getting overrun by Aiptasia in the 125 and wasn't looking good to begin with.

I was lucky to get some Stomatella snails as hitchhikers can't wait for them to multiply.

I'm also a big fan of the little inverts - conchs, sea cucumbers, shrimps, hermit crabs. They were the pioneers in my new tank. I'm wondering if my cycle has been slow because I started with inverts and not fish? Watching your videos and learning that fish have a different intestinal microbiome that aids in cycling makes my think that I should have added some mollies rather than hermits in the beginning ....
