let loose right after the shot
how it found food is a wonder of nature, no?
All they eat are ants, and it’s amazing that something this small can find enough grow up for the 4 to 6 inch adults that they become. Don’t think ants are very nutritious either, so it takes a whole bunch of them

The 10 gallon algae tank.
The 10 gallon algae tank.
I put 10lbs of live sand, 12lbs of dry rock, an old turbo snail shell, a aqua-clear 70 hob filter with just sponges, and two 2nd gen A029 30 watt LED lights. The lights are on 12 hours a day and set to 100% blue 25% white. The only flow for the tank is the AC 70 as it is pretty strong in the 10 gallon tank. Tank has only been running for almost 4 months. I think it does kind of look cool. I do a 2 gallon water change every 2-3 weeks. It's not on a regular schedule like my other tanks are.
Thanks for posting this. You aren't adding any nutrients (other than light) or anything?
It would be fun to have a tank to do experiments, but I fear that I would just turn it into another permanent tank.

nothing but light and water changes every few weeks or so when i think about it. The more i look at this tank the more i think i will end up keeping it.

Welcome! If you don't already know about it, Aquashella is next month in Dallas. They will have saltwater and freshwater fish. I think they also said there will be a reptile booth or 2.

Welcome aboard!
If not a bit late to the party.
This 10 gallon also will make a great tank for moving any aggressive fish too. I am doing the same with a tiny little 6 gallon. Have not actually turned the light on yet. And if I can catch my cleaner shrimp, it will be his new home. Tired of him stealing food from my rock flowers.
Also, howdy from pflugerville!

Hi James and Welcome! Glad you joined. A BIG 'Howdy' from another Texas resident!
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
This might help you find people local to you:
