No epoxy. Keeping my fingers cross that the rocks will not topple.

Thanks!

Heard you had a tank crisis? How's it going?

[RockyBoy]

Nice scaping.

Try to shake the top rocks to see whether they are unstable. What are you planning with this tank? LPS? SPS?

Think most of them are pretty stable except one piece. They are somewhat connected to one another. I kinda shake them as I stack them til I get a stable feel then go on to stack somemore.

It'll be a mostly LPS tank, maybe try a bit of SPS at the top where the current is the strongest?

Thank you, Ken!!

[jervismun]

what's that fish hiding inside?

Dun think it's a fish... now what's that???

[ming69]

Dun think it's a fish... now what's that???

It's a black crab! The pincers are at least 5mm thick. Think that fellow is about thumb size.

He's been daring me to try to catch him. Doing the "now u see me. now u don't" thingy.

Wait til I find something long and SHARP........ Will have sun baked crab one of these days.....

[Terryz_]

Looks like a crab... can see something like a eye...

[fishtalk1517]

looks like u and I sure have something great things in common - U with ur crab and I with - my mantis

That's a great prata as a new resident for the initial stage

[ming69]

The pratas have been sitting in the old tank (now using it as a frag tank) for weeks. Just started to move them over this week, one or two at a time.

The cynarina was from my now decomm 2ft cube, and it was bleached. But now the colour is returning.

Yes, Sean, I was soooo tempted to take that rock out to dig it out, but the minute I move the rocks, it hides. Not sure if it goes to another rock or deeper into the LR. I'm pretty such that there are at least 2 escape routes at the back to the rock.

[KennethK]

Ur rocks seems removeable. Take the rock with the crab out. It will not move then get rid of it.
