Here are a couple of pics for you.
I had a pair of pom pom anemone crabs in the tank for a long time but could not find them on the transfer... Hope they made it....
These guys are craz cool to watch but as anybody knows that has one, they are quite reclusive. They can disappera for weeks on end then one day you see them walking arounf like this.
The second pic is of the Blue Spotted Jawfish.
The sandbed in this tank was not deep enough for him, plus with the minimal points of contact on the sandbed he eally could not build a proper burrow.
So he never really settled in and kept jumping. On the Cardiff we first tried the glass lid that came with the tank to keep him in. I have never had a glass lid on a tank before so although I have read about the negative side effect I never really personally experienced them until this tank. We noticed that the redox was steadily decreasing so we stared doing more water changes, changing the food mash dailey and put on a bigger ozone generator. After a few weeks though, even with a 350mg ozone generator on a 24g tank we could only maintain the redox around 250. Then the glass lid issue occured to me, we removed the glass top and over the next few days the redox went back up the 375. So then we made a window screening top for the tank to stop him from jumping.
But once a week he would end up in the back section of the tank and eventually one of the pumps got him...
We were able to keep him for about a year, but I wouldnt try again withough first building an area for him to build his burrow.
