It's the little things that make you smile

Well I tested my water levels last night and they are getting closer to being ready for my cleanup crew to be added.

However, when I woke up this morning and looked into my tank I found a small snail making his/her way across my glass cleaning it up.

That put a big smile on my face, apparently he was in some of the LR I put into my tank and he is already making himself at home in there. He is only about the size of a pencil eraser, but to see life in the tank lets me know I am on the right track.

Congrats! Don't you just feel like a new papa. I love when stuff just shows up!

I hope to add maybe 1/2 more rocks depending what is at the PS this evening. I may get 1 to put in my ref. Maybe I will get lucky again and pick up another addition in the rocks.

Good luck. I also suggest looking closly in the rock tank sometimes coral is thrown away in there and you can save it. I have a green bubble that I saved and is just starting to look good again. Its been 7 months but I think the bubble will live!

The PS I go to has their tanks setup for "weak corals", frags, and frags with corals attached. I might see what I can find. I am still new so I tend to overlook some things.

Congrats sticky! I know the feeling. I am enjoying the first "natural relationship" between my new goby and my pistol shrimp. I just love sitting there watching those two help each other out. I am new to this too, and just getting to enjoy my first tastes of success just like you. TONS OF FUN!

Any chance of some photos? I would really like to see how they are coming along.

I am actually sitting here with camera in hand witing for them to come out of their house far enough....I will get them as soon as I can!

....I feel like paparatzzi, hiding behind my desk chair.

I can just see you peeking over the top of the chair, camera in hand, just waiting... and waiting.. and waiting.
