Cycling and settling

I've left the tank to cycle and settle for the past two weeks and just added some filter feeding gorgonians for decoration and somewhere for my fish to rest. The red "driftwood" just wasn't working, and began to break up, with the bark falling away.

The snails are certainly doing their job for keeping the glass clean of algae.

I'm also considering a scooter blenny (not a Mandarin) to assist the shrimps with the cleanup of uneaten food in and around the algae and rocks.

The Seahorses and Dancing shrimps are on order and should arrive in about a week. I have asked that they be held in the store (quarantine) for a further week to be sure!
