Agreed! You got skills. Looking good.

Very nice! What an amazing canopy and stand, will you teach me how to do that?

So how much do you think the zoas will grow out over the next few months??? Think you'll have a full out zoa garden??

It's looking good! Aquascaping is excellent.

I would love to take credit for the aquascaping, but it was my daughter's work. She seems to have a talent. If I can keep my hands out of the tank I do expect some growth from the zoanthids. I'm not sure how much with the lighting only being incandescant. In the past I have experienced amazing growth with a 150 MH, but I didn't use it on this tank due to the heating issues.

Actually easy with the right equipment and one piece of board at a time.

It's looking great. I'm going to rescape mine too, it's too dark right now.

I had to post my Jan 15th pic today, as I'm leaving on holidays Wed morning for 2 weeks in the Domican Republic and won't be back in time for the Jan 15th deadline. I'm looking forward to some sun and hopefully snorkling for the first time.

All did not go well with the little tank during the last month. I spent too much time on the 90 gal tank and Christmas. Didn't do water changes and probably overfeed the little Damsel, so I have had a major outbreak of algae. I bought a little Turbo snail and he's been doing a great job of cleaning things up. Hopefully by next month it will look better.

Also had major problems with a hitcherhiker crab. Zoanthids were constantly knocked off and upside down in the sand and mushrooms picked off their rocks. Friday morning he was sent to inspect the septic pipes and hasn't reported back yet.

Sorry for the very bad picture, but hopefully next month will be better.

How'd you catch the little bugger. I've been trying for a month to catch a large crab in my tank. Did you have to move some rockwork or did you use a trap?

I have used this method 3 times in the past year and it always seems to work. I cut a plastic water bottle in half, throw away the top and poke a few holes in the bottom so it doesn't float. The in the bottle put in some Mysis, nori and anything else that might entice the little begger. I then lean it up against a rock that I think he might be in, giving him a nice easy path to the food. Once he goes down for the food he can't climb up.

Sometimes it only takes a few minutes after lights out, other times it has taken a couple of nights.

Good luck. I know that they can be very annoying to say the least.
