Thanks for the update! This tank looks amazing. It is so interesting to see how far it has come!

You are welcome! Glad to know you are enjoying it!

Is the compressor pretty noisy? I've heard some of them are. And that they can't go under the cabinet because they need lots of ventilation. True?

Very true. The sound is comparable to a small refrigerator, so you could disguise it as a drink cabinet.
Mine is in a closet behind the tank above the sump/filter. I removed the closet door to add more ventilation.

The tank is pretty stable these days, with no major changes except lots of observation. I did get a new anemone, and it came attached to an oyster shell that I bought for eating.
I am waiting for the fish to get more adult coloring before posting pictures.

Woah really? Don't they check things for dangerous organisms before selling them to you? Especially ones on the outside of the shell?

I suppose that would be the case if you got them at a regular grocery store, but those were purchased right at the farm, so I doubt it is a requirement. Think of a vegetable stand by the roadside, and your veggies come with a few bugs, none being dangerous organisms.

A rescue anemone.

Anemones?

Anemones?

No, the oysters for eating...I don't like them, so have never bought any

No, you get them in a bag. Some ice if you are travelling far so they can stay cold.

Here is the new frilled anemone:

And the other ones keep multiplying, making the total count fifteen!
