There has to be a glass blower among this band of misfits. Just has to be. We have just about every thing else covered!
Let me talk to my tattoo artist. He has a shop on venice beach where there are a bunch of glass blowers. I'll see if he can hook me up with one.

Yes do it bro. Id like a few so I can take out plastic mushroom condos. Could be epic and match the colors to shrooms and all kinds of greatness. Probably a market for nem cages as well.
I'll do some homework on my side to.
Last thing I need is another hobby though haha

Well almost finished, the run from the pump to the union is drying;)
You are setting an extremely high bar here. Totally envious of your build and how clean it is. I try to keep mine clean but looks like a bomb went off when I'm done with it most days. Drives my wife insane haha

There is. There was thread where people talked about their other hobbies or talents or something like that. Start a new post asking for glass blowers!!!

What I'm worried about is lead in the glass.

I cleaned the glass about an hour before this pic, just before I took this I put the nori rock in and the fox face freaked and bounced off the front glass about 3 inches from my arm, the glass runs are from how fast I removed my arm!
My happy couple btw, they have spawned. :)

YOU GUYS!!!!

I found chandler on the floor this morning
The only way he got out was to jump through the opening for the auto feeder, and somehow make it around the feeder too.
But he was still damp and when I poked him he wiggled.
IMMEDIATELY threw him back in the tank and he slithered away.
I’m hoping he will eat this afternoon. Poor guy.
Eels are pretty resilient tho! So here’s to hoping he’s okay!!

I can only go by observation of four scopas tangs, the brown one is my big guy and the yellow is a girl, the other two brown / blue ones are also females as far as I know, I got very lucky. ;)
Once you watch them males and females are a different shape but it is subtle.
Rescue girl, more round. ;)

double post but man, I have to commend you Simon. I’m a yank but feel more Spanish and international than most people from my state. And I have a weird natural affinity for British humor. Anyway. I actively look forward to your pictures and contributions. Love your setup and yeah. Not trying to fanboy or anything. Just appreciate ya my friend
