More inhabitants, and live rock, changes, and maintenance...

Purchased from Jim's Exotic Fish:

  • 1 medium Indo-Pacific White-Striped Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis) (AKA Ambon Shrimp)
  • 4 Cerith snails (Family Cerithiidae)
  • ~1# of live rock - small tonga branch - placed where sponge filters were
  • Hikari Mysis Shrimp (32 frozen food cubes, 100g total)

White-Striped Cleaner Shrimp and Sand Sifting Star

I removed the three sponge filter from the back of the Nano Cube - I had no idea there was so much of it back there. Changed ~10% water, but had to add ~1 gal to replace space occupied by sponges. I underestimated the amount of extra tonga branch I needed.

Fed them 1/2 cube of Mysis shrimp, and frozen chunk food (1/2 scallop).

Quite a lot of silt was thrown into the air - the LTA was not happy, and slumped over on its side, some sloughing could be seen.
