Thanks for the suggestions. My LFS has a RR 220, I believe it is, that's 5' long and 3' front to back. The price for the tank alone is $1400. I'm not sure if I want to spend that much money right now. Any ideas on where I can get a tank that would work in my situation? I can't seem to find much online.

i had my tank made by Envision Acrylics in oregon, shipping wasn't cheap but the tank price was so good i could not say no.

also call Glass Cages, nobody beats their prices, and with a good solid eurobrace the tank should be plenty strong. also they dont charge shipping you just wait till they deliver to your area...

[benzc01]

he eats like a pig and he actually gets bigger than that

He made it 3 weeks and did the whole ball looking posture. I see pics of them like this in the wild all the time, but have never seen a pic of them doing this in captivity. He only did this for a few minutes, then he opened right back up. I wish I knew what caused it.

awesome! It's looking great, congrats! :beer:
Yeah I wonder why they ball up like that as well.

maybe it's just the lighting, but is the foot a lighter purple than it used to be?

I"m not sure. Early on it was having some issues acclimating to my lights. It has lost some of its zooxanthellae and the yellow on the tentacles is much brighter. It's not even close to bleaching though. The color of the base seems to be tied to his expansion. The smaller he is the darker the purple is. I'm not sure if there has actually been any change to the color of the base or if it appears a little lighter at times because he is expanding much large.

looks great.
