It's Just a Tank

Pretty sure this is a gorilla crab. I guess... this is her molt.

Yup. Handsome feller. Hopefully not a maniacal murder.

Looks like he's not too big. I've had good luck using the Red Sea test kit glass vials with a piece of shrimp in them to catch gorillas. I put multiple in angled differently against the rocks.

That said, I've only dealt with them in a nano, so you might need a more sunstantial trap for a big tank like yours and something that keeps the other fish from stealing it--or other CUC/quasi-pests (bristleworms).

I've also speared one, but that's also going to be harder on your big tank. A smores/kabob spear might be long enough.

Could also add a mantis shrimp, but then...

Nah, she gets to stay. Had her for 4 years or so as a hidden resident. Never had a loss i couldnt explain.

2 of us are grumpy this morning


I think the pectinia is in the better mood.

 

[Goaway]

Alright, cheato trimmed. Some nice red algae growing on the bottom.

Botrycladia or string of pearls? Good stuff, in any case! Angel is looking very photogenic today.

Oh, i dunno which it is. But, I've been hoping it'll gow in the sump for 3 years. Seems to really respond to the ammonium dosing.

It has taken the regal angel 3 weeks to settle in. She's still very shy and timid. Taking queues from the other fish on how to respond. Colors are just lovely.


Just because

 

[Goaway]

Took these before lights out. Pretty sure my eyes are lying to me.
Neon green looks a tadish yellow.



Hopefully torch will color up. If not, still looks ok.

Pinky is looking purdy.

I was curious, i dove into a bottle of windex.
Not so windexy. I do love the colors.

windex

 

[Goaway]

Im not the best at windex pictures. I cant help but feel I'm going color blind.
@tbrown Posted on a noopsyche thread. Lots of info was provided, a color combo to mimic radions.. anyhow

I know, I know, "shut up"
p.o.t.o's highlighter hammer, red shroom background for reference.

I do love the hammer, thick branch would need dremel. How many times have I said i was getting one? 20?


I'll need to get a pic of the anti regal corner tomorrow. Poor blastos have been added.

I keep mine on blue. 100% blue, 35% red, 15% green, and 10% white at peak.

Yuh, that blue alters a lot of color. I've underestimated that. I might have to get some of the app controlled k3's to see other peoples settings. It was a very noopy informative read.

Edit: going to try that settings, but will need to ramp up weekly.

@Katrina71 is looking for the V3s like we have.

Yes I am! Thank you. I need one more.

So greedy, i can hold the molly...

 

[Goaway]

I never really told anyone. Got my 60g filled with live sand, live rock. Let the tank filter for a couple of weeks. Bought my clowns a goni frag and threw them right in. Theres the big green monster years later after suffering much hell.


Psst, tanks not level.
