Fish Tank
As many of you know, we have been working on getting a saltwater fish tank set up at our house. This weekend, we made it to a major milestone: we now have a tank, with saltwater, with live rock, and (last but not least) with fish! Here is the current configuration. The rocks that are darker in color came from the aquarium store covered in helpful microbes. They should spread to the lighter colored rock in time.

This is just the introductory phase. The fish in there are blue damsels, which are some of the hardiest saltwater fish around. They will help trigger a waste cycle in the tank that will prepare it for its permanent residents. The blue damsels are tough enough to survive the waste cycle that they trigger, but most other creatures are not. We'll post more about the next step in probably about 2 weeks. The tank is a 24 gallon all-in-one kit, though I am adding additional gear to make it more suitable for hosting coral.
Are these "live rocks" corals?
