Photos are listed from oldest to newest.
I set up the new 6 gallon tank on 8/9/08 and took these photos:
When I moved the 3 gallon animals to the 6 gallon, I found these two huge fireworms in the
crushed coral substrate!

6 Gallon Tank - right after it was setup.
Tube Worm - on the dead clam. The white
tube was laid down by the worm over time which is sticking out the end of the tube in this photo.
I am not sure if it is the same as a feather duster but they tend to have very short tubes.
6 Gallon Tank on 8/12/08 after I put in a 4.5
pound live rock and a mushroom coral.
6 Gallon Tank on 8/15/08. Diatoms are starting
to grow on the glass.
Since the light died on the tank, there was a month where nothing happened in the tank.
Bristleworm on the dead clam on 9/20/08.
Top view of the 6 gallon tank on 9/20/08. All you
can see is the mushroom coral and layout. The photo is not of the entire top view, just over the
main rock.
6 Gallon Tank on 10/4/08 after the new corals were
added. See the coral page for a bunch of photos of the new corals that
also show portions of the six gallon tank.

6 Gallon Tank on 1/8/09.
When I took a photo of Fireman on 3/2/09, I did not know that I got this critter in the picture. I
think it is an isopod.

6 Gallon Tank on 4/11/09.
6 Gallon Tank on 9/13/09 - can you find Dip and
Dot (two sexy shrimp), three of the four Astraea snails, and Fireman (clown goby)? I put in the
new piece of star polyps cut from the other tank the day before. It is in the back left of the tank
(the stuff that looks like grass).

An Aiptasia showed up in this tank (or rather I first saw him) on 11/29/09. I killed
it with "Aiptaisa Control" on 12/5/09. Here are some photos.
Aiptasia - 11/29/09.

Bristleworm in the 6 gallon tank on 1/26/10. It
looks like he is coming out of a closed-up mushroom coral! You can also see the open green
Ricordia mushroom coral with Dip, my male sexy shrimp sitting in it.
Aiptasia on 5/1/10. He is back!
Entire tank on 7/3/10. Lots of algae!
Aiptasia on 7/22/10.
Entire tank on 1/15/11. I had just cleaned it so the
green star polyps are all closed. Note the nassarius snail at the top who comes out when I
clean.
