They're not as big as they appear, about 20 lbs. each. Remember, the tank is 36" deep so the normal sense of scale is off in this tank. It is going to take some getting used to.
I'm toying with the idea of transferring the livestock tomorrow. There is sufficient bacteria on the current LR to sustain the bioload and the other LR has been "cooking" for almost a month. I added about 20 lbs. of Tonga branch to provide some bridges and other places for fish to swim in and out of.

It'll be fine (better be), I'm certain. Placed an order for some more fish today and found my favorite urchin Toxopneustes pileolus. Do not go trying to steal my corals or the urchin will get you LOL.

Here's a quick snapshot:
The coolest thing about these DD tanks is that you can look into the side pane and it looks like you're looking at the front of the tank! The 36" depth, while a bit challenging to aquascape, adds a whole new perspective to viewing the tank.

Agreed!

I canceled the urchin. I'm not quite ready to have respiratory failure and Barb needs me around for awhile longer LOL. I've always been fascinated by animals that utilize toxins to protect themselves. I've always wanted to keep a blue ring octopus but sanity always gets the better of me. Pictures pale in comparison to the effect having 36" of depth provides.

You're right, Rob. It is not like an octopus that moves relatively quickly. You can just not reach into the tank until you identify the position of the urchin and then avoid going anywhere near it. I've always pushed the envelope a bit so why stop now, right? I never did find the yellow pistol while transferring over but did find the candy cane minus a tail (and still quite lively).

Guess I'll have to host a meeting one of these days. However, in order to do so, I need to be a club member. After all that has happened in our lives during the past year it is time to do so! I traditionally host the March meeting but that is likely too soon. Anyone know where Chad is hiding (ex-member who joined the Army and used to run a tattoo business)?

I wouldn't say you had to be a member to host but your always welcome and we'd be glad to see ya. We have a sign up sheet in the sticky section for the club meetings. April is MTRC swap but if you wanted to do May that would be great. I don't think I know Chad, but I'd your looking for new ink I highly recommend Matt at Saint tattoo. He's outstanding!

Speaking of Barb how is she doing? Blue rings are so cool, but I don't think I'd ever have one.

April I'm participating in the DC Science and Engineering Exhibition (might make the swap, though), May we're in Alaska and June in California. Not going to happen soon, apparently.
