10g bowfront tank/34g cube

What's your plan for this tank Laurie? It's looking great so far. I am looking to get a small tank to house some corals but haven't had the time to do so yet.
I think I should give my wife more hints on birthday present(s). She is not as cool as Doug is

Eventually it will become an upgrade tank for my frogfish. For now I'm getting it ready to house Doug's little gobies and inverts etc. so he can move the contents of his 30g tank into it (might sneak a pipefish in there too) This way he can take his time and he wont have to move his 30g and 110g all at once.

On an unrelated note my hobbies are still permanently banished to the basement.

ya that pipe shear was the shizzzz.....no mess, no walking to the chop saw.....cordless......made plumbing the tank wayyyyy less time consuming.....I would have had the thing plumbed in record time if I didnt forget to plumb in the gate valve for the herbie and have to run to the Rona for another fitting to fix my boo boo

Ah well, just as well, you can't do a plumbing project without at least one back to the store to get another fitting. I think it might cause the world to end or something. If you ever complete a plumbing project on the first pass and suddenly see flying horsemen ... quickly cut the pipe and claim it's the wrong size and go back to the store for the sake of us ALL.

You should try feeding the frogfish FD shrimp. Mine gets more red when I feed it that and it pales out to pink when I feed it market prawn pieces.

Does FD mean freeze dried? Where do you find that and what brand?

I feed mine Superba Krill by H20 life.
