[jem]

okay..took out all the liverocks to "wash" it out from pests crabs and aptasia

heres a look of my tank after the rocks are taken out..

left the livestocks inside to be transfered to a temporary holding area later

[jem]

took out the liverocks to give them a "wash"

to rid the bad pests and aptasia..

well..ive been complaining of very lil liverocks though..

i must say the two liverocks on the right are super solid!

got them from henry@marinelife!..awesome formations

[neokn]

okay..now back to work..

gotta transfer livestock from the old tank to a temporary holding area..

borrowed 3 super large tubs from my uncle..

and used 1 of them for the holding area

here are they swimming around..

dont worry bout the corals though..already placed the chiller in after i took this photo..haha

WOW!!!

Concentration Camp. Call the Tang Police, quick.

[jem]

washed out the liverocsk..

and guess what i found!!!!???

dozens of CRABS!!!! and a pistol shrimp!!!

and those are freakin huge!!

[jem]

take a look at the claw of this bugger!!!

now i know who is the one that wakes me up in the middle of the night..

"TACK TACK TACK!!"

[jem]

okie..enough about the crustaceans

just finished transferring the livestocks to a XXL pail..

they all seems a little stress though..

no casualty except for two chromis

cheap,small..but..it still hurts..

[jem]
