Looking good. Digging the aquascape and rimless tank

Thanks! Yea I'm a huge fan of the Rimless look really glad I picked this up. I'd really like to go with T5 This time around but Im going to put the light upgrade on the back burner and fill it up with low light coral.

Found Some battery operated clip on led lights at the Dollar tree, Cost me, you guessed it $1 ea

Using two for my fuge, Might either make a shelf to bring the cheato closer to the light or buy a couple more and double the wattage

Also my father has wanted moon lights for ever so I bought three, and a blue highlighter, colored the glass and clipped them to the back rim of his 40br reef.

They do an excellent job as a moon light, well see how they do growing cheato

And pops tank

we're just going to leave both of ours on 24/7 They're run by three 1.7v batteries and should last quite a while. Going to replace the entire unit instead of buying batteries as im sure it would be cheaper.

 

[rnaodmletetrs]

The Lights Lasted about 12 hours before the battery died :O

Pretty slow to add new stuff but I picked up a Hi-fin red striped goby from pet co it looked a little thin so about 30 seconds after I put it in my tank I threw in some pellets and never before have I seen a fish as hungry as this little guy :/ He was literally leaping half way out of the water grabbing pellets that floated on the top.

It obviously hasn't eaten in god knows how long I bet It's happy now though

Yes its so full its mouth is just hanging open. It definitely over ate but hopefully it keeps it down, it needs it.

get a candy cane pistol its way better than a tiger pistol etc...
I have one paired up with a yasha hase and it doesn't dig that much also it doesn't steal frags lol

 

[Takara]

Quick Low res Video of my tank, Showing new hairy mushroom/bubble coral and Goby

Slight algae bloom on the sand bed

I rescued my yellow watchman from my father's tank, He picked up an algae blenny and the blenny went after the goby when ever it came out of its cave.

Unfortunately I couldn't keep both the hi fin and watchman ( Id love to but the tanks too small ) and luckily managed to catch the hi fin without moving my rock scape at all ( He actually swam RIGHT into the net within 5 seconds of trying to catch him)
