Artificial Plants in saltwater

[Natadactyl]

plastic plants in a reef is the same as pineapple on pizza.

im just joking, but not

=new tanker hazing :) welcome

good quarantine setups really do use em for some semblance of normalcy compared to pvc white pipes/never seen in nature

Haha i hate pineapple on pizza!!! lol! And yeah i def want the plants to cover up some hardware in my tank!! I found a brand that uses 100% plastic so i ordered them while i do more research into real plants!!! Im tough i can taking some hazing lol!

Wow 50 bucks thats amazing!!! Dont even wanna say what i paid lol! But so worth it!

Yep it was a great find. I still need to clean it. I’ve got 5 tanks up and running now so deciding to go for number 6 or just switch out from another tank. I’m thinking the 2nd option is probably the best...

I didn’t click on the picture originally, thinking it was just pics of artificial plants. That’s why I didn’t see Larry at first. Big Boy ehh? What do you feed him?
That’s not my DT. That was a small QT/Observing tank a couple of years ago when my LR just arrived. I was just thinking Larry would like all the life filled LR and micro algae to “chill” in. After that statement I forgot Larry is living in a constant fall/winter water...50degrees. So I guess that LR wouldn’t work.
What kind of lobster is he?

Actually I just looked and gulf waters do drop to 60ish. So if you can slowly and safely (for Larry) raise the temps to around 60, I bet you could get real LR and it would do fine.

Hes a maritime lobster!! I feed him raw shrimp and scallops! Gonna try mussels and fish next!!! Still a learning curve! When i rescued him i was able to keep him at my work (seafood restaurant)till i got a tank established for him! Had different elastics on him and everyone knew he was not to be touched lol! Ive only had him 3 days and hope he takes to his new tank!!!

Yeah lobsters do best in between 12 and 15 Celsius so gonna raise him to 57 which is 13.88 degrees Celsius!! Because its only been a few days i just wanna keep an eye out on him for the 1st week or 2!! Make sure he survives and is happy!

Yep! It was empty for a long time cause we didnt get any lobster cause of covid so when i rescued him i popped him in! Lol! He got rescued by the right person! Meant to be! When they started putting lobster in again i made sure everyone knew not to tpuch him and put bright pink elastics around his claws lol! Pretty crazy story to be honest lol
