Thanks for the kind words! It's an interesting tank for sure. Everybody looking happy today



I've been playing around with using both the T5 and the PC light, which seems to make everybody happier. Except the palys, but they'll get over it. The setup looks cludged, and really screws up the low light shadowing, but it's functional for now. I'm in the middle of building a 125gal vivarium, once it's more complete I'll probably build a canopy for this tank and dismantle both of these lights for placement inside. The GSP was continuing to look lousy, so it was donated to a friend's tank. No idea what happened, but that was attempt #2 for GSP, so I'm done. This is a hostile environment, and that stuff isn't happy here.

These however, are really happy



Somehow it isn't surprising that worms would love this nasty lagoon tank, lol. You can also see the little red macro that is absolutely everywhere now. It was a hitchhiker on the caulerpa, but it virtually dissapeared for months. Now it's everywhere and looks really nice. The base is encrusting, so even when the urchin scours part of the rock, it returns pretty quickly. The red caulerpa has new growth too, so I can finally see some of those nice reds in the tank.

The peppermint shrimp are finally dwindling in number, I'm down to two. Go get 'em tiger. Now a pair of shots from the "mantis looking at things" collection.
