Well my GSP's graduated to Full Marine!
Marking this event they received a special treat tonight!

I guess its time to get some Bio-Spira to seed my rock along with a protein skimmer?

Colors are very bright!

They look like healthy little pigs. Are they in the 55g now?

Good job

Yes its a 55 gallon aquarium on a wood stand that once housed my goldfish. I am still looking to find a good deal on a 75-150 gallon SW setup.

Here is a video of one of them, very photogenic!

My only concern is the water has been cloudy for the past couple days since the last 50% water change which was responsible for bringing it up to full marine conditions. Have I reached a breaking point in the water chemistry which may have caused a mini cycle? I also noticed a few patches of greenish/grey colored strings appearing on some of the decor in the tank. (grey hair algae possibly)

Just keep a close eye on your water readings, I am sure it will be over as quick as it came on.

Will do. Will schedule another water change on Friday just in case.

Is it ok to keep my plastic plants in full SW that i had in there to begin with? I also noticed my rock is changing color now from the white dry look to a pink, grey, and dark green appearance. The tank looks so beautiful now.

Do you have cured live rock in there? This will help a ton on the tank since it is full marine.

Sure, I used lots of fake, including silk plants:

Awesome! And yes I had a couple of fist sized pieces but it looks like they have successfully seeded the dry rock I started out with.

It dont hurt adding some more cured live rock to the tank. I had alot of live rock in my marine tanks. But still had room to swim.

And PP that is a beautiful tank. Love the tomato clown. Well looks it from the angle.

I am actually negotiating with a couple people on Craigslist to get about 20lbs this Friday when I get paid. (it will cost me about $100 at the LFS and I plan to get it for the fraction of that price)

Indeed I totally agree! And I hope to get my GSP's looking like that in a couple years! They are looking so plump and bright colored already I can only imagine what they will look like when they reach adult size!

Hey cool deal. But do you have any lfs that carries LR?
