Columbian cat shark... I have a couple of them.

Technically brackish but like full marine when they get older.

That's cool, I didn't know that

 

[khaosinc]

hah... they do come out... feeding stick is dragged 1/2 way across the tank and empty...

thawing some more shrimp...

I really need to zip tie those wires one of these days.

 

[khaosinc]

LOL, and if you are like me and have poor balance...

when cleaning a skimmer up, make sure where your head is..

 

[flying_dutchman]

:lol:
Are you alright? At least it isn't the tank.

 

[khaosinc]

Hard head, and a carhart jacket... I'm fine. Mildly annoyed with myself though.

Think I have enough spare windows around somewhere.

Geesh K. You are a one man wrecking crew! Lol..

 

[ashtree68]

Wow I saw that and at first glance thought it was the tank! Glad it wasn't and you're alright.

 

[khaosinc]

LOL.. theres a reason a swear by think acrylic tanks..

[khaosinc]

Anyone mind if I go on another pic binge. Was having fun last night...

cleaner shrimp couple...

one of 4 pink spotted linkas.. that just came in..

the trigger couple in their hidy hole..

Marine Betta was out for a second..

as was the golden dwarf Moray eel..

He's still with her dispite getting their butts kicked across the tank...

the home he wishes he could go back to... (this is at an angle and 4' back in the tank for an idea of size..

happy couple (lousy shot... shes still shy..)

Torch has finally settled in and looking happy..

 

[khaosinc]

brains....

Blue zoas... still need to fins a spot for them... and get all the dang zip ties out of the tank (and the feeding stick that the trigger ran off with.. )

still don't know what it is... but its happy..

they just stare...

I must be running out of crabs again..

most likely due to these guys..

why is it always the ugly poyps that grow so well...

 

[flying_dutchman]

What about a video?

 

[khaosinc]

these haven't grown at all really..

these do ok..

new something or anothers...

some of these are open now.. still waiting to see whats all on the rock..

they're ummm.. pink.

night shot...

fattening up finally..

still a baby...

and still a camera hog..

 

[khaosinc]

haven't noticed any scratches yet...

mystery sps coming around nicely.. really likes the direct sun it gets every day..

blood shrimp couple..

and of course...

and a cute little angel to round out pics..

 

[khaosinc]

I'd actually have to clean the whole tank for a video... that sounds like work.

You know you and your tank are an inspiration. Tink must be an angel

I get to put up with 6 ferrets... its an even trade.

I admit I can pet my clowns but they are not near as cuddly as ferrets
