Here's the latest shot of my 75 gallon.
The colors are a bit washed out and bright, but you get the general idea!

and a few smaller, blurry shots!

Nice tank.

Where'd you get that cabinet?

 

[CH]

The tank came with the stand. It is an Oceanic, which I purchased from Dave Morin. I stripped it and restained it (it was really dark before)
The top I built myself. They don't quite match, but it doesn't really look too bad.

Hate it when I forget to move the magnet before taking pictures!! lol
Tanks look cool. I do like that oceanic cabnet as well. Good job with it!

 

[CH]

Yeah, I thought about the magnet, but I just had pet some nori in it, so I left it!

Thanks on the comments!

I was wondering if that's what you used the magnet for. That's a really good idea! I always have a wet arm after puting my vegi-clip in place! :lol:

Here are some pics of my 75. I couldn't figure out how to get a valid file extension to post the pics on this thread, so I having to use these links instead.

Here is a pic of my octopus. I have it in a 12G Aquapod.

hey, is that the bali octopus from paradise cove?

 

[milab]

No it isn't the Bali. It's a Mimic octopus, however, Joe from Paradise Cove Pets is the one who got a hold of it for me.

 

[remo85]

Ya, joe is awesome... takes care of the customers!

 

[blackcows]

Do you see the octopus a lot? Is it an interesting animal to have in the 12G or is he usually hard to find?

[milab]

He (or she) doesn't seem to be very shy and comes out every evening and occasionally during the day. Their color changing abilities as well as their hunting and feeding habits make them very interesting to watch.

 

[remo85]

I am thinking about getting one some day... How long have you had yours?

 

[milab]

I've had it for a month. If you do get one, I would talk to PC Pets if I were you. It may take them a while to get one in, however, they have the healthiest livestock IMO, and with octopus being such a sensitive species it would be worth the wait. I had previously purchased a pygmy prior to the mimic I currently have. I won't mention any names, however, the retailer advised me the octopus was feeding and was in overall great shape while under their care. When I got it home it was missing two and a half tentacles (it was balled up at the pet shop) and wouldn't eat. I made sure my parameters were similar to the parameters of the tank he was previously housed in, and drip acclimated him. To make a long story short, it lived for about two days. Not completely blaming the retailer, however, wouldn't you want to know if an animal you were going to buy was missing limbs? Didn't mean to get off the subject; I would reccomend getting one if your prepared to meet it's needs. If you like your more than welcome to come check it out sometime. Just PM me.

Here's my humble little JBJ 12 gallon nano. I've almost got it where I want it to be with corals. I have it attached to a 15 gallon sump.

 

[remo85]
