New friends

7/1/14
It's been about a month since I started my Nano tank :) Everything's been looking really well, so today I decided to add some friends. Meet my Lemon Damsels - Loki, Olaf, and Lada!



Ammonia = 0
Nitrate = 0
Nitrite = 0
pH = 8.0
Salinity = 1.025
Temperature = 80F

I'm looking to add some Mangroves to the back of the tank. Something like this:

Updates

Everything has been going well! Levels are normal, temperature is stable. My army of snails just had three sets of babies.

Day 6,7&8

Nothing interesting to post. Past few days I have been letting the bacteria flourish, letting the critters help balance the chemicals, and keeping up with the salinity levels. So far, everything seems to be balancing out.

Tank's clear and all the critters were hiding under the sand. Salt's been low and now nitrate's up (probably due to the snails added). Sorry no pictures today! :(

specific gravity = 1.024
salinity ppt = 33
pH = 8.2
nitrate = 2.5
nitrite = 0.15
ammonia = 0
