Looks great kat.Caves a sweet addition ,too.I didnt really get the depth perception on the 120 until recently.I think in general its hard to grasp the depth with pics.I looked at one today and,WOW,I see what you mean about interesting scapes.Very cool.

Nice haddoni.Envy for sure here but I dont have the guts to add one.LOL.I can see it wandering around shaking hands with some prize peice.Just my luck.
Its a beauty for sure looks great same with the tank.

thank you soooooooooooo much. I really worked hard on this tank. Never would have gotten set up if it hadn't been for some great reefers (Mel, especially - she did all the plumbing). The stack took me like 8 hours straight, i think...i didn't even stop to eat. Haddi was a risky addition..but Steve has had this guy for a while with no problems. so far, so good. I truly love watching this tank...looking back into the caves...

I took 20 mins today to watch this...my elephant slug, Ellie (thanks, Courtney) and her first encounter with Haddi the carpet nem. Was standing by waiting to break up any munching....but:

commin' round the corner:

passing the suns:

the approach:

contact:

whatever Ellie did...she got the easy pass:

passing through:

passing complete, Haddi relaxes again:

was an awesome sight.
cheers.
have a great day.

News from the 120g - One of my RBTA has SPLIT! And it's gorgeous!!!!!

 

[superkat]

Well, some more exciting stuff happening in the 120g. My porcelain crab has decided to take up residence in the RBTA. Went to feed the nem her krill and this little guy came out from the center and snatched it right outta my fingers....

and here is the new RBTA from the split:

 

[superkat]

new additions in the 120g. Pics up soon, but wanted to thank Steve (reefdog) TREMENDOUSLY, for trusting me with some of his prize possessions. Another beautiful carpet nem, with the hosting clowns...would be impossible to separate them...and the tang he rescued and has had for quite some time.

It was sad to see his tank down to a few rocks, but the rocks are still covered in LIFE...as well as the sand.

I believe he will post, but if anyone is in need of some SUPREME live sand...he's got a bunch. Just PM him and go get it.

Thank you, again, Steve...I am proud and honored to have these beautiful creatures in my tank.

 

[pascal32]

Your tank is looking great!

 

[superkat]

Thanks, Pascal. Both the 90g and the 120g are at the "sit back and enjoy" point. It's kinda nice. And a little easier on the wallet. :rolleye1:

 

[superkat]

Some updates to the 120g...but no pics. Soon though. Thanks to Steve for the GORGEOUS nem and host clowns. It is the prettiest carpet nem I've seen. Mint green with white stripes. Both Carpet Nems doing well and seriously the showpieces of this tank.

 

[wah-zoh]

super nice tank Kat!! any updated pics?

None recently. Been swamped with theater. Just finished directing at Geva and in production for a musical that opens in two weeks.

But then there are changes underway....includes bigger tank. Stay tuned.
