Tank Journal Archive

It was a day of excitement, heavy lifting (by others), thrown backs (by me), and butt crack (both me and the baby I found in the sump!). I love my tank. I'm going to try to get some photos of the plumbing as it is impossible to find much online. The instructions are appalling.

This is just cool! I turned the lights on just for a peek before bed. It's so bright!

It's a total disco if I put in a mirror ball and colourful lights on the floor

Adding fresh water! Had to jimmy the window to get the backyard hose in, but it worked.

Water flowing into the sump, no leaks!

This was for my husband, who keeps stating he wants an "evil tank". It looks lik someone's been attacked by a shark.

Sponges, 2 crabs!! Some kind of Tubey creature. I see a few morphs and what looks like polyps similar to acans.

Moved rock around. Need to adjust the left.

Looks like some good live rock you grabbed!

It is very nice. Rich coralline growth and lots of little polyps and critters. I missed some of the best stuff they had in. But these bits were much what I wanted. I wouldn't mind tweaking a bit more. But I need decent tongs as I was in up to my shoulder :p

It's apparently from the Keppel Islands.

The final scape!

Now to sit back, relax and enjoy a brilliantly warm winter day!
