Almost there!

Last weekend marked the end of the yellow tang's hyposalinity treatment. I'll keep him in the quarantine at least until this weekend to make sure he is doing OK, but everything is set up at the moment so that all that's left is to acclimate him to the display tank and put him in. We'll see how well he adjusts there and once he's comfortable there, Butch and Sarge will join him. There will have to be a little break but after a couple of weeks I'll start looking into other tangs.

Yesterday I turned on the lights for the first time in a really long time to get some hair algae growing. I'm not so worried about an infestation this time because all of the hermit crabs and the tang will graze on it. What it does mean, though, is that I'm able to get better pictures of the display tank fish, so enjoy a few pictures of Magnum and the cardinals.

In other news, either today or tomorrow the freshwater plants I ordered should finally be getting here, so later this week, or this weekend at the very latest, there will be another update with lots more pictures.
