Thank you all for the welcomes and warm wishes. So far everything is good in the tank. The Ammonia levels did spike to almost 1.0 on Monday and then fell back to below .25 the next day and have been decreasing since. The tank cycled naturally as I did not add anything to effect the drop. The fish are active and the bubble coral is beginning to open more fully.

Capitalb you are of course correct, the link to my clowns does say Black and White False Percula, as they have it on their site - not sure why they have it that way as they are not black and whites - thanks for catching that and your tank is BEAUTIFUL! I may have to check out some black and whites at some point in the future.

My little snail is making his way around the tank glass each day and the larger snail is burying himself in the sand (not sure if that is what he does or he found something tasty to forage...). The crab is very active and makes a full appearance when we do the daily feeding - though he seems very happy working on the live rocks.

My LFS recommended keeping the lights to only 4 hours (full sun) for the first week and increasing that by 1 hour each additional week to keep algae at bay. I have been doing this and all appears to be fine (I have not had any algae). I am mainly concerned that the bubble gets the needed light each day, which the LFS says is just fine. What are your thoughts on this approach?

Thanks again for all the feedback - I am LOVING the tank!
