All change - new bigger tank

A few weeks ago I decided to replace my small nano tank with a much larger 3 (and a bit ) ft tank...the dancing shrimps have also gone back.

It's taken a bit of work to get everything up and running but things are starting to take shape.

Latest Pictures and Vids

Here are the latest pictures from the tank.

A prety feather duster

Here are a couple of videos of the shrimps in action.

I have a dilema - these shrimps eat corals.

I've moved the xemia and xenia frags into the sump area, and so far they are leaving the mushrooms alone - but I've having to watch them carefully.

I'm feeding them with flake food every few days.
I really like watching them in the tank.

You can just see a dancing shrimp there. We have 2 (a male and female)
although they tend to spend most of their time hiding in the rocks. (when they aren't munching my xenia frags)

More live rock and the tank comes to life.

We added some more live rock to the tank tonight including a few larger chunks, and almost straight away we started to spot life.
To date we have seen:
  • Bristle worms
  • 1 green snail
  • 1 red snail
  • Mite type things!
  • and 2 tentacles sticking out from around a hole.

Unfortunately they are too small to be captured on camera but the tank has become very interesting.

The tank now looks like this:
