400 gallon project

[untamed]

Having two tanks continues to wear me down. It's too much for me to maintain both tanks. Yesterday, I moved the clam, green carpet anemone and the Maroon clownfish into the new tank. All seem to have settled in well.

I was lucky that the clownfish is so territorial about his anemone because it made it possible to catch him in the old tank. He refused to leave that anemone, so I simply placed the net over top...It only took him about 2 minutes in the new tank to locate his old anemone and move in.

Moving the anemone was a sticky experience. I wish I had taken a photo of my hand because it was covered with bright green bits. You just can't handle those carpet anemones without them latching on to you.


The only thing remaining in the old tank now are some SPS that need to be cleaned of red bugs, and the live rock which needs to be cleaned of red flatworms. It is still sad to be shutting the old tank down after 15 years, even though I've now got my dream tank running.
