PICS!!

Ok, the first of the pics!

Full tank view, I have done NO aquascaping at this point and I wont until the second part of the package arrives.



Shots of some of the rocks:








I dont see the crabs and other hitchhikers I saw last night, but it is daylight right now.

I still hear clicking from the tank as I sit here. I also did a couple of water tests:

Ammonia 0-0.25 - colors hard to read, probably 0.12
pH - 8.2

Last night I took the reside that was in the bottom of the bags and poured it through a strainer and scooped the resulting sand out to place in the tank. In my hand was a crab smaller than a dime and a purple brittle/sea star about the size of a quarter. I dumped them in the tank and crab headed for the rock and the star started burrowing!! Very cool stuff!!

I will be at work nearly all day tomorrow and I will snap a few more pictures and post them. I am exausted right now as I got up before the crack of dawn to help my girlfriend move into her new house.
