I very lovingly call these my water monsters!
This 20 gallon tall is home to my coral banded shrimp, Peppermint, Rainbow Dash a neon dottyback who originally belonged to my niece, and an emerald crab we call Eugene.
I refuse to stick my hands too far in there with any of them, not that they would hurt me or anything, but Rainbow Dash likes to try to steal anything I poke in the tank like pipettes to feed to corals, tweezers to pull stray algae bits and when she is really feeling spicy, my gloves finger. Peppermint likes to poke me with his antenna which is just unsettling when you don’t expect it. And Eugene… his legs bring to mind the hairy hands and talons of a childhood monster under the bed so that’s a big NOPE!
As much as they freak me out, I do love them though and after being gone for a week on vacation, their home was in desperate need of some love.
I decided I’d use this opportunity to finally post on the member page with my build for everyone to see.
I’m hoping to switch out the HOB filter to a canister and add a HOB refuguim in the near future and would love some recommendations on good brands and models and what not!
