I hear you there Laurie, wait until you see my nano update tonight

Wow Grizz and I thought my tank was fairly full! Doesn't hold a candle to yours, there's coral stuffed into every nook and cranny and then some!

So here is my picture dump for my March final contest update. The tank has been doing well the only problem I've had is the colour fading/browning out on the coral. The eco pico led lights (while there are 6 of them) are only 1 watt each so not to light effective for great colour. When/if I ever get enough money I may invest in a aqua mini led light. Also I've finally got a lead on a flaming prawn goby, but it will still be a few weeks before I'll know if I can get one or not. In the meantime I've very much enjoyed watching Mr. barney blenny and the cute pom pom crab in this tank.

FTS

pom pom crab in his cave and blenny off to the side






Bleeding (mini) apple scolly

when I first moved it over


you can see how it's dulled in colour


candy cane coral


I also have two colourful mushrooms in this tank but they are in the back bottom corners and I can't get a decent pic of them.

Going to the zoo zoo zoo how about you you you......he he he j/k I mean zoas! Again they are faded out compared to how they should look and the camera dulled them a tiny bit too but you get the idea.

Good on ya Laurie, love the blenny shot and his bright eyes. Guess I better get mine updated today some time as well.

Such a cute tank... colours have dulled maybe but things look happy all the same. That blenny is so crazy looking!

Oh and this:

Thanks I love the blenny too one of my faves for sure! Yes you should update as its judgeing time soon. Sadly I think we may be the only two left, others haven't updated in awhile and while yellowworld's build was amazing I'm not sure he got water in it.

Thanks Brett. I'm hoping I can eventually upgrade the light so the colours will pop like they're suppose to, but at least the corals are all healthy and doing well. Love the pic of Stewie and the crab I totally see the resemblance
