<teevee pats self on back for putting predator into fuge>

i may end up pulling apart the fuge tonight to rip him out. i guess i have a soft spot for crabs. i don't have one for mantis' (unless they're in a species tank).

bev good point. the stuff i was planning to sell is base rock, not the kanai stuff, but it won't be gone before i have a few chances to rearrange. already did a bunch more work in the tank tonight, i'm close but not perfect. i have a lot of kanai stuff still lying in the tank, not in position.

when i was piling the kanai into the tank last night, the pile collapsed forward. amazingly, my base rock, which has been in place since before the water went into the tank, didn't move an inch. it was really odd shapes and i spent a lot of time making lots of caves and stuff, so basically the bottom half of my rock is huge chunks of base rock with lots of holes, and the top half is the kanai stuff, piled fairly closely together, still with lots of "condos" for small fish. the rock on the left side starts about halfway back, on the right only about 6" from the front of the tank (24" depth). so i have quite the plain of sand on one side. i think i'm fairly close to having it the way i want though, just a bit more tweaking once i get my lights on there and can see properly (using a standard 60w light bulb to arrange rock is like trying to build lego looking through yellow jello).
