DHaut's Mutualism Microcosm

[DHaut]

New here - heard good things. Here's my setup - started 2/16/09.



Dual displays. Top display has a false rock wall, is SPS focused, and is lit by a PAR38 LED bulb:



Bottom display has sealife inc. rocks, macro, LPS, and softies:



Inhabitants:

1 sixline
2 tiger gobies
2 eviota gobies

The eventual focus of the tank will be on symbiotic, specifically mutualistic relationships.

Welcome to R2R! That is an awesome setup. Is that as bright as the top tank gets?

 

[DHaut]

No, that pic was toned down for dramatic effect. Here's a more realistic one:

I love the aquascaping.

Thanks

The false rock wall is fun and allows for good use of vertical space.

I still see no hobbits.

It's because you don't believe. You'll never see if you don't believe.

that is crazy unique. how do you access the bottom tank?

 

[DHaut]

the bottom tank has a door (the frame) that swings up giving me access. that's one design that I wish I had put more thought into - bottom tank access is annoying sometimes. but it's never caused a big problem so i haven't done anything about it.
