brookie Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 We have had a Triplefin before (see pic in post 14), which are really cool wee fish. I've had a thing for them since I was younger, take lots of pics of them diving haha. But I've found in such a small tank it's a lot easier to keep stable and feed everything well without a fish, plus critters don't go "missing" Link to comment

I agree completely. My fish died of ich and it is really easy to care for the tank now, but it is sad that they died... Link to comment
brookie Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Just thought I would share the wee bit of excitement we were greeted with. Well we have seen the remains from crustacean moults many times but have never seen the actual event. Well my family and I got to witness the porcellain crab go through the whole process. It was pretty exciting Link to comment
ndrobey Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I wonder if I can order your probe with the correct voltage since I know the owner of the probe I can ask. New Zealand and Australia use a different plug shape - a vee. That will probably require an adapter. Link to comment
grmoore Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Nice! I would love to see some pics of what macroalgae you find from the area. Link to comment
brookie Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Current full tank shot, sorry it took so long for me to get one up life has been a little busy in my household. We are trying some new macro algae, Codmium fragile, fingers crossed it goes well. Also just collected some small mussels for the star to "hunt". Link to comment
brookie Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Sorry there hasn't been any updates for a while. It's been a busy semester at university. We acquired a small hermit crab from a grab sample for uni from the Otago Shelf off the coast here, about 3 months ago. It has grown from about 3mm in size (body not shell) to almost 1cm. We also acquired a 2cm triplefin about a month ago, which unfortunately resulted in losing the 2.5cm glass shrimp to the triplefin :-(. Also acquired some blue tube worms. Everyone else is going strong and the Codium is still going well Link to comment
Dr.Brain Coral Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Nice. Good luck with the university. Those blue tube worms sounds cool. Link to comment
brookie Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Just a wee FTS update. Sorry about the bad camera shot. The rocks on the left-hand side are covered in barnacles for the star to eat and get replaced regularly. Codium is starting to shrink back for winter Link to comment
