Tank is looking great!

Thank you, right around when these pictures and videos were taken was when this tank it was at its best. I still have a lot of past updates to catch up on, including my not so fun fight with dinos :(

All the corals were really taking off at this time. This was in May of 2020

I also added a red serpant star, theyre my favorite starfish. Super easy to keep and you cant beat that color

Video of Sheron begging for food haha

Heres an interesting behavior i came across, so morays regularly shed teeth but its not often you actually get to see it. Here he is with a loose tooth and he even uses the wavemakers to help blow them off!

-current update-

After selling some organs on the black market, I now have material for the 230 gallon's stand! dang these wood prices :eek:

 

[TheDragonsReef]

Main frame pieces are cut, hopefully I can have it painted and ready to go by the weekend. Im dying to get this tank going.

 

[TheDragonsReef]

Starting to look like something! Middle supports still need to go in. Just trying to do a bit each day.

 

[TheDragonsReef]

Frame work is all done, hoping to finish the rest of it tonight. I wanted the whole sump visible so thats what the large section on the left is for and electronics will be on the right

Over a year of growth with Shenron, from about 22in to over 30in and he definitely fattened up alot. Top picture is him still at the store, bottom picture is from today. He's asking me everyday when the new tank will be ready lol

The video of him trying to remove that loose tooth using the powerhead is the funniest thing I've seen all day. It reminded me of when my dad tied my loose tooth to a door to pull it out.

How long is Shenron supposed to get? And does he recognize you specifically or does he beg anyone that walks by?

Haha i love that video too! Max size is typically about 36in. So hes almost done growing. Im pretty much the only one thats around the tank since its in my bedroom, but when hes hungry hes always out and about so id imagine hed come out for anyone that walked by.

You’d be surprised , I’m sure he recognizes that swimming around usually brings food if yr present. I had a cobra that didn’t like any women for some reason lol she would always watch with her hood out when I had ladies over. But if it was guys / just me she would still stare but be relaxed and wouldn’t mind being held / not territorial

Lol ye her name was eve miss that snake, creeped a lot of people out because she would literally stare for hours at new people and snakes don’t blink. It’ll be cool to socialize yr eel a bit more once in the living room, I’m sure you’ll be the favorite human lol

If she was a female maybe she was just jealous of the ladies haha and i know he knows my smell he wont bother me if i put my hands in the tank. Cant say if anyone else would be able to or not lol
