Najer's zen twins.

[najer]

I didn't have to work today as the not so reliable Friday guy turned in.
I nearly had my first Indo. acro, it was bagged and someone said it was reserved, it got un bagged!
This was a not so little brown thing in their tank, I love my lights, this side (front view) only gets T5s!

Some fish and stuff, afternoon.

I did add the acro today, that might be the last one (?) I think I have found the direction!

Back to the day I designed the twins, I was in love with my 170 ltr custom aio, I had an idea but I wanted to still see what I saw but bigger, the display is about 300 litres now, the other 250 litre water volume sustains the display, in theory I could extend the twins but that would be more expensive than a custom 72 x 36 x 21 custom low lagoon and a bit of structural building work!

Is this your special way of saying you'll soon be setting up a new 235g tank?

Maybe!
This has been on the back burner for a year or so, redundancy in September screwed me, I am awaiting two payments, once I get the second payment the glass will be ordered, around May to start an actual build plan!

I think I am going to take this out and pop it under the tap and grab the scrubbing brush!
This is the first time it has been out where I could get a pic.
The points are it's "elbows", it is that long again to pincer tip!

This will sound silly to anyone that has an actual BIG tank, but I worry in the new big tank, I won't see things frame by frame like I love so much. Trying to scape to insure we don't lose that.

Keeping it interesting, mine is a jumble but I like it that way, if I didn't feed the fish for a week no-one would starve, they all have the ability to feed themselves, I like how they are active and graze or hunt, busy and happy (as far as it's possible to tell) I don't have a single fish that swims around looking bored!
Interactions be it fish, creatures or corals, I stopped watching tv about 9 months ago and don't miss it, I'd much rather watch this!

I took this earlier, look how the nepthea is closed in the above pics, I moved the toadstools ( It might have left a baby behind, took a bit of shifting and was just placed there!), the nepthea was wide this morning.

The remaining cave goby, it rarely disturbs the sand.

What a great picture of your gobi

Thanks, it's hard to get pics now without the orange coral in them!

A lot of sps are doing ok, I moved the hystrix yesterday, it has some damage but not too bad.

Difference is you know all the behaviors of your current inhabitants already. You will see them adapt frame by frame as you add new coral and bigger fish.

This pair of photos is spectacular!

It’s looks beautiful Simon, as you say ‘a jumble’, but a beautiful and interesting jumble,and I can see why you don’t watch TV

Thanks Shaun, it mostly keeps me out of trouble!

Today we appear to be thinking about upwards expansion, the branch in the front was struggling to get parts of it out from under the scape yesterday, I think it has figured it out now.
