Catching up, again

Wow, it's been too long since I've updated the blog, and over the next couple of days I'm going to try to catch up.

First thing that happened in the tank after getting back from MACNA was adding the clowns to the display tank.

I acclimated them over the course of an hour even though the temp and salinity were already pretty much the same, and introduced them to the tank.

They explored for a while, and all the other fish came over to say hello, or so it seemed. Over the course of the last three weeks, they've fit right in to the community, often swimming with the school of chromies or with ADD, the yellow tailed damsel.

I was worried about them at first because they didn't seem to retreat into the rocks at night like all the other fish, but they don't seem to be suffering any ill effects from sleeping out in the display.

Overall, a great addition to the tank. The black and white coloration really is striking. Sorry the picture kind of sucks, they just don't slow down tho and without the flash on the camera the shutter stays open too long and I end up with blurs. Hopefully when the new lights come, there will be enough light in the tank too fix this.
