Second Update!
Hey guys!
So it's basically been a month since the last update. There was a few (okay, a lot of worries) back then that things would fail practically, but well I'm glad to say I wasn't wrong. :) The tank is still going strong.
So a few updates on regimes:
Water Changes: 2-3x per week, 10-15% each time.
Lighting: 4-10 hours per day, depending on if I am home or otherwise.
Feeding: Daily, 3-5 times, depending on if I am home or otherwise. Approximately 40-50 NLS Small Pellets + 3-4ml Aquavitro Fuel each time.
Cleaning: 1-2 times per week, just getting algae off the glass.
Testing: None at the moment.
Yeah, my coral food is practically completely gone:
Luckily I got ReefRoids off my colleague. He bought it for an experiment, but found out that it wasn't suitable. So now I'm going to use ReefRoids on this tank!
As for live stock, as expected, eventually two of the Clowns paired up and went all aggro on the third. The third wheel happens to be the Ocellaris Clown, so s/he's gone.
Did get a Citron Goby and a Royal Dottyback though. The Royal Dottyback used to hide away quite a bit, but not so much anymore.
So stock list as of right now:
-Regal Tang
-Clarkii Clownfish
-Cinnamon Clownfish
-Citron Goby
-Royal Dottyback.
All eating well as of a couple of days ago:

And now, still. :)
The Royal Dottyback and Citron Goby doesn't quite fit in the color and shape scheme, so I'm looking to replace them with something else. Not sure what yet.
Either way, my fiancee and I are going overseas for a month or so, so we're not in too much of a hurry. Chances are replacements won't be until after anyways.
Corals are doing great! Well, except for the favia or whatever it is, which is being stung by the hammer. >< And then covered by sand. Same goes for the Star Polyps, the Clowns dug underneath it, then proceeded to throw sand all over the Star Polyps.
Towards the back I have some fluffy morphs (and a leather). I didn't notice until a few days post purchase, but one of the morphs' mouth actually seemed to extend straight to the rock.
It never fed as well as the other morphs, but I kept up the feeding anyways. Eventually one day it decided to 'melt' downwards, leaving a trail of... baby morphs in its wake.
So now I have like... well, a lot of baby morphs.
This picture was taken the day after it really started melting:
Pretty cool, really! If you look in the picture you'll see three almost separate pieces. They're all separate now. :)
I'll have to board the corals and fish somewhere on holidays. When I'm back, I'll keep the morphs, hammers and perhaps the elegance. Along with the Clarkii Clown, Cinnamon Clown and Blue Tang. The rest of the stock will be changed. :)
I'll have my fiancee be the one to choose though, she's much better at aquascaping and coral placement than I am. :P I totally ruined the scape with my purchases. ><
