Sounds like you need a new tank. 18x60x12? sounds good to me.

I'm stoked I was just chipping off the sunset monti from the large rock it was on and got an awesome surprise. Underneath the colony imbedded in the rock was a not one.. but TWO tiny pistol shrimp!!

 

they were about 1/2" long. the 2nd one that came out of the pencil thick hole in the center was almost clear. The other was a nice iridescent green

 

I put them in the 33L since there is nothing in there that could harm them.. just red leg hermits and a clown. I dropped them into the chaeto ball. I grabbed the ball to try to see if the made their way to the bottom of it and they started clicking already :)

 

i love good hitch hikers!

 

idk if i will be able to find them to take a picture.. we'll see. they were only about the size of piece of rice end to end.

 

 

 

added three new corals to the tank to be fragged up soon.

also got a frag of purple death zoa for $15 had some bryopsis on it that i eradicated.. soon i'll frag them all off the plug and ditch the plug.

they went fast. the mother colony melted :( but thats why i always frag a few polyps right away on any zoa colony and get them in both systems. :)

 

 

i have one doing very well in the display and a couple on the sand bed in the 33L When they start spreading i'll certainly be selling :P

do you have any problems with the narrowness of this tank?

 

 

nope .. it serves its purpose. I could see myself upgrading the frag system though this summer and making this into another display/ grow out tank
