Been a busy animal day! Goodness!

Continuation of the saltwater tank build.
Freshwater fish re-home to bigger tanks.

New Home for my freshwater fishes ...
The 5g to the 15g column tank ...

Your tanks are looking great!

Anyone have this and thoughts about it?

Wondering if this would work in the Coralife Biocube 29 ... Just concerned about it clearing the rim of the tank.

That looks awesome! I agree, not sure if there's enough room for the rim clearance, and, water level? I guess if you put it right at the front of the lid where we use to feed, it may work? Pretty cool regardless!

Reached out to them and they responded very quickly ... need to provide them with some measurements when I get home.

I'm pretty sure it would fit....only draw back that I see though is that I spread my frozen food out from one end of the tank to the other. I have corals every where that eat too, so they wouldn't be going up to the cup.

Awwwwwww, proud mommy of a brittle star! Isn't he just the cutest lil' thing ever!!!!

Found him in the back chamber under the refugium rack.

Yes, they are my favorite thing in the tank!!! Can't wait to see my starry blenny in there, hoping he will climb in there and poke his lil' head out!! (Saw a starry blenny in 'fish boyfriends' tank and have to have one!!!)

Yep, have a few brittles!

<patience patience patience while the tank cycles ...>

On side note ... that 3rd chamber where pump is located is dirty!

That's gonna happen, the 3 stage tanks get dirty everywhere haha. My 3 gallon return chamber is covered in that.

Yea, mine gets that way too, I'm thinking of putting a sponge back in the small sponge holder to see if that helps keep it clean, but then, I just have one more detris trap lol....I usually use a turkey baster and blow it out before I do a water change.....

I thought about blowing it around with turkey baster but there are sooo many little brittles in there and don't want to hurt them
