I decided to swing on by and check out some of the live rock stock at the fish store. They had a few nice pieces so I went ahead and picked up some. Also asked one of the regulars about some of the creepy crawlers that would help do some maintenance inside the tank. Here is what I ended up picking up.

3 pounds of live rock.
3 blue legged hermit crabs.
1 8 oz. PurpleUp

The live rocks help keep the tank filtered, create room for bacteria to grow, and provide some places for the fish to hide. The hermit crabs are a fun little asset to the tank because they are pretty humorous to watch, clean up left over food the fish don’t eat, and also eat the pesky algae. The PurpleUp helps promote algae growth (the good kind) and help replenish some of the calcium levels and other stuff. I’ll let ya know what else is going on and keep you posted.
