I ordered some dead sea fans from someone on Ebay.com last time. Live corals can't be shipped from the States though.

Beautiful tank there. Good job Raf & Diana.

Hey guys...

I ordered the sea whips from http://www.seacorals.com. However I DO NOT reccommend ordering from them. Find another source... it was a pain in the butt for me to order from them. Not only did it take several weeks for them to AKNOWLEDGE that I had placed an order... but it took almost 2 months for them to even ship the whips. AND THEN to top it all off they sent me the wrong ones, the cheaper of the two, and I have yet to hear back from them, and if they are going to credit me the difference (granted its not very much, but still, they have to).

All in all, not worth the hassel.

I've always found the FOWLR tanks "missing" something...but seeing this tank, with the sea whips added...makes me want one now LOL!

Thanks for sharing!

Love that porcupine puffer. My wife loves those but they need to eat stuff like little shore crabs to stay healthy I think. Otherwise their jewel-like eyes go dull & many of them get sick. There must be something in the shell that they need, but this is a theory told to me by an old time fishguy & I've seen & heard other evidence that it may be true. What does your little puffer eat?

Perfect I'll feed him that little bastard crab I found in my reef tank wooo!

He's eating mainly large chunks of krill, brine, mysis, etc. He wont eat NLS hehe. We give them an occational mussel or clam as well.

Could we feed him little crabbies we find on the beach? I have a beach a couple minutes walk from my house with tons of little crabbies.
