CD_Scapes Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hey, 5 days until I'm in Oregon!!! Can't wait! Link to comment
YaBoyLaj Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Looking forward to an update! loving this tank, hoping to set up my temperate this year... As you probably know from my unstoppable talk about it on my thread... Lol Link to comment
AquaticEngineer Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Quick update, no pics though Went out diving and tidepooling and my buddy Josh snagged a couple Blackeye Gobies out along the Jetty. Was hoping that I would end up with a male/female pair, but out of the 4 I had all were males Not that big a deal though, they finally all settled down and made burrows equal distance from each other in the tank. Picked up a few more shiner perch, the males are already fertilizing them. Grabbed a few really big green anemones and a dozen or so moonglow anemones that are crazy colored. Also got 3 good sized painted anemones for the tank. Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 This tank is so cool! Wish I'd found it sooner Link to comment
AquaticEngineer Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Sorry for the few and far between updates, too much stuff. Recently acquired a California Moray Eel for the tank (which has been on my long list of hopeful fish acquisitions for a very long time!) Also, inherited another Black Eye Goby so I now have a trio of 2 males and hopefully a new female, along with a few more Shiner Perch to bring my school up to 9 now. Over the summer me and the kids went out collecting and go a whole bunch of Mole Crabs for moving and cleaning the sandbed and they all seem to be doing well Inherited a great looking large barnacle cluster with some amazing red fan algae growing all over it (pics soon I promise) And it looks like next weekend I will be picking up another lobster tank very similar to this one I already have but just a bit smaller, for free Link to comment
AquaticEngineer Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hoping I have some disposable cash soon to order up a dozen or so of the Red Rock Shrimp that live down there and clean the morays. Link to comment

AquaticEngineer Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Picked up another version of this lobster tank over the weekend Gonna be a holding tank in the garage plumbed into the existing tank and sump setup for now unless I find something super extravagant that I need to put in another tank in my house.

Do you just force Red Lobsters in foreclosure so you can buy their tanks? Link to comment
dpoltsdsu Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Can't wait to see some pictures! Will the eel be an issue with all of the other fish? Link to comment

Will the eel be an issue with all of the other fish? The is kind of an issue, he managed to take down 3 of my 9 shiner perch. Only kind of because the shiners have now learned to stay clear of him, and I can always go catch more shiner perch Eels are much harder to come by. I just added new LED lights to replace the overly blue 15K 100w lights I had on there before. The light is much truer to natural looking light now. Link to comment
vlangel Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Wow, this is a cool tank. I would absolutely love living where I could collect natural creatures for my aquarium. Link to comment
AquaticEngineer Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Sorry for the super late picture update. Here's a full tank shot and some of my beastly California Moray Eel Link to comment
