Definitely worm free (IMLagoon25)

Btw: I have (had) the same tank and literally just drained it 2hrs ago due to recent upgrade. Sweet setup - I love the low profile setup, very easy to do maintenance.

Do you have pictures?

Just drained this - it was a frag tank.

Bad update: My tank is a time bomb at the moment. Today I learned that the stand needs to fit the tank (for rimless tanks). The tank is hanging an inch off the back of the stand. The pressure on the bottom panel is intense and it will fail. I have a new stand on the way which cost $$, so fish will be delayed until November or December :( Luckily, the stand gets here before my coral does.

The stand should always fit the tank regardless of rimmed or not. Peace of mind. I think that is 1 reason for the redsea failures.

Tank move is done. It wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be (I only swallowed a little water.

Emerald crab update!
He loves this little cave in the rock and since he’s survived the week I figured I’d give him a name.
Here’s Frank!

Welcome Frank! You’re gonna be the star of the show before you know it!

I'm glad the move went smooth! That's a nice looking stand as well!!!

More livestock!
1 Ruby crab (emerald crab but red)
1 more red banded trochus

 

[ZzyzxRiver]

They’re so teeny! It’ll be satisfying to watch them grow.

Saw this remora at a lfs. If only I had a bigger tank :[

 

[BristleWormHater]

Here they are in the tank! I love the ruby crab's color!

Photo of the month candidate?

 

[ZzyzxRiver]

Now I wish I had one! My emerald crab isn’t very emerald!

Anyone know if they make sapphire or diamond crabs? LOL.

I’ll look forward to seeing the corals I tried to get but didn’t nab in time in your tank! :grinning-face-with-sweat: ;)
