Very nice work !!!:inlove:
Congratulations !!!:inlove:
The fish also good looking. The whole project is very inspiry.....

Keep up the good job.

Are still keeping that crab i saw in the video. Does it make any destroys or damage in your fish or other things in the tank ???

Thanks so much. I actually just took the crab to Stu at coldwater marine aquatics. That guy hitchhiked on a rock last year and was the size of my pink fingernail when I first found him. He's grown quite large in the past year and his preference to adorn himself with my corynactis corallimorphs was a bit too much for me. I love my corynictis

I live in Tacoma near the narrows bridge, so very close. Once you get a tank up and running I'd be happy to give you a few spare corynactis polyps . Otherwise Stu is the one to get the good stuff from

Let me know what kind of setup you are looking for I have too much time on my hands and troll craigslist daily, lol. I also have a lot of stuff laying around the garage from old temperate water setups and such.

Also, if you wanna get in on it there is a coldwater aquarium owners group on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ColdwaterOwners/

I am sooo jealous of your corynactis!!!! I love this tank, it's such a clean example of what Coldwater tanks can look like.
