I feel the pain man ... sometimes I wish I could take a vacation just to finish projects

 

that was kinda a fib-I only got half done and forgot to take pics too-half truth is not lying right?

This is 8th tank I've built and I've gotten pretty good at it that it was no issue. My tanks have two bottom panes of glass the provide two planes of adhesion-overkill sure-peace of mind-priceless kind of thing.

 

So a perfect opportunity to give another tease-also did some major things,that this is looking like this will be unveiled at the end of the month or close to it

I'm thinking about setting up a small vivarium just for preying mantis, like an orchind mantis or something-there very cool

I kept mine on a large lilac bush. As long as I fed them, they stayed. Smart insect.

I wish I had Photoshop on this computer. I'd chop in some Japanese people running in terror. :)

Just thought I'd post some more pictures of an underrated creature-right after this tank is done, I'll be building a 10viv gallon for dart frogs, and a 200 gallon for hermit crab! I love that my wife is understanding :wub: ..............mostly-at least I'm not addicted to booze or something :haha:

 

Not reef related directly but gonna keep pics coming till I finish up my tank-Some cool pics of my grapefruit size crabs

I agree with you on the Dart frogs .. I love those setups ... If their food wasn't such a pain to keep I would have a setup for sure

 

I agree I miss my little frogs :(
