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.



Full tank shot of the new tank

Blue Mushrooms settling in well.

Latest Pictures and Vids

Here are the latest pictures from the tank.


A dancing shrimp on the prowl.


An exploring Bristle Worm


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)

Latest pictures with new camera

We have just got a new Sony camera, so I thought I would take some pictures of my tank, I've rearranged the tank slightly as well, adding some more live rock. The above photo nicely shows my main mushroom rocks. Everything looks nice and my harvesting of frags doesn't seem to be doing to much damage. The blue mushrooms are doing a nice job of fragging them selves.

A nice picture of my live rock rubble pile which will host my mushroom frags.
