OK, typing that my office move is so close made me realize I need to get up off my butt here. So, I just ordered the bulkheads and the diamond hole saw. this will be my first time drilling a tank. Keep your fingers crossed....
I already have the 10 gallon tank, hood, plenty of cheato and LR rubble. I'll need to procure some sand, and hopefuly some kind of HOBskimmer. I'd really like a Remora, but they're just so expensive for this application.
Awesome Pearson! I wish I could have stayed up there for the meet but I was tired and hungry and the BBQ wasn't ready hehe. Great store up there and I would definitely stop by again!
Your nano is looking awesome!

yep, cause you dont want to be like me & drag projects out till the end of time....at least i have an excuse, ive almost finnished building my vacume pipe conveyer system from the fridge to the couch that transports the beer. Then wisks the empties away to the recycle bin out the back
The mantis has been in the tank for about 3 hours now, and already a couple of times i have herd him babging on somthing. The pepermint shrimp that was in the tank is home in the 120, and i can see both of my turbos (I think he's still too small to take them on anyways) so he's either working on a home, or one or more of the stomatellas have run across his path. Either way, it's pretty cool.
I was looking down the back of the tank looking for my mantis when i noticed this:
I knew there was a small piece of digitata in the tank at some point. it was in with a handfull of rubble I added right after I set up the tank. Imagine my surprise to find it there behind the rockwork, just growing away. It's a poor picture, but it's polyped out, has encrusted considerably, and has started some upwards growth. I can't believe it's back there alive, at the bottom of the tank, under 48w of 50/50 lighting.
While I had the camera out shooting the digitata, the mantis stuck his head out to see what was going on. The species info i have says he is shy, but he apparently just can't resist the camera.
wow, so this is what responding via cell phone smells like, funny, it looks just the same. @ least through this medium I has predictive text helping me. lol
so P, is finding that lost frag a good thing? its amazing the stuff that survives, even better when all the odds are against it!
LOL, yeah, I reply via BlackBerry all the time on here.
I never intended for the digi frag to live in the nano. there was a samll piece in a handfull of rubble I used to seed the tank. I just think it's amazing that it's not only alive, but growing.
