so this tank has been around a long time

 

it was given to me about 6 years ago or so,and it was my 1st try at salt water since 1992

 

this was how it started in 04

then as you can imagine the once tiny clown trigger outgrew a 20g

so I got a 46bow

that tank was lovely and great fun,but I has to put it into storage when I moved back to asheville

 

I also started a 10g sexy shrimp tank while in wilmington

so when I moved back to the mtns I moved the sexy shrimp\panda goby 10,and some of my favorite

pieces from the 46 and got the 20 extra tall out again

that was how it looked last week,last friday12\18 we had a winter storm and lost power for 36 hours

I do not have a generator so tank temps went to 47 degrees

 

sadly all my fish,snails,and 2 sexy shrimp perished

luckily it seems all coral,all crabs,and 2 of the sexy shrimp made it through ok

 

dont have any pics yet of the rearrangement since cleaning the carnage out

 

but I am going to the lfs today to get some new inhabitants,so it wont be long

sorry for the loss, the tank is very nice looking! Might I suggest spending the 400 on a generator it would seem that its a must have living in the mountains.

 

Good luck and Ill be following this one!

picked up an emerald crab,a flame scallop,and a cling fish(goby?) the other day

 

not so happy I got the scallop,after I did the research,I hope he does ok.

any advise would be helpful

 

 

the cling fish is pretty cool moves really cool,dragon like.

 

really small,has not bothered the sexy shrimp

 

lfs did not have much info on this guy,and I cant really find much info either

 

seems they love to eat the random mussels that hitch hike in

 

I have seen this behavior,in the last few days.

 

hope to have pics soon

 

also got some gift certificates,to the LFS so things will be had,I need some peppermints

 

and I would like to try a monty
