What's one more tank?

[Mschmidt]

in news: The astrea tipped over and I didn't catch it in time.

The nerite may be alive, I saw it on the pump input yesterday but didn't move it. I should make a shield for that thing. The coral looks like is has since it went in, so not good not bad.

Inlaws were over this week (leave today) so to be kind I moved the tank out of the room (it's loud). In the move I saw nothing was living (are we really surprised by that?) So this experiment has gone to it's natural conclusion.

Stay tuned for the reboot.

Scramble to find a home for this guy.

My temporary tbs landing zone was a 5 gallon that had the rock and sand moved over at least 3 weeks ago. The tank had been sitting with bregs of sand, half full of water, with no heater since then. I go to take it down and what do you know, life! So here we are.scape will improve, flow and probably heat will come, light maybe.

I'm getting better at 3d design so a more functional weir and pump stand are in the mix too.

welp, that was short-lived. sorry little guy. I'm a bad parent.
shrimp died sometime last night.

 

[Mschmidt]

Yup, I'm dumb.

Just the tip

I'll see. It may be too big for this one. I have an idea for a sump though, I got a hang on acclimation box that cycles water with an air pump. It might fit on this.

New idea!
I have many astrina stars in my main display, but I also have a shrimp killer in there. what if this thing holds a harlequin shrimp and is tied into the main display?

How many stars are needed daily?
Do I have the time and patience to collect them?
Do I have the budget for the shrimp?
