lol that's for sure.  First thing I did when I joined the other day was follow a bunch of other hedgies. :lol:

 

The tank looks really nice, I think.  I think the big rock thing won't be as big a deal once corals and such start covering it.

It's in England and due to mining.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crooked_House

 

Good to see it wasn't torn down.

 

Sad that they could mine so close to a house though...........someone get lost underground maybe :unsure:

Added a few things yesterday...........and one gorg melted.........so tank is a mess. Did another water change this morning and its slowly clearing up. Adding live phyto now so hopefully can get everything happy.

 

Received a free smart ATO nano from my local dealer that he had used on a previous IM tank he had on the counter. Well it wasn't totally free I gave him a few zoas and a Red Sea test kit that I absolutely hated........salifert for the win :lol: 

 

So in order to make it work I needed a place to store water........well a gallon and a half fits in a little container I found at a local store. Well didn't want to look at it so........had to find a basket to :rolleyes: yeah my OCD side is coming out........

 

anyway a few pics..........

Need to do a tally of prices so far..........

 

Purchased a few gorgonians and snails from KP

 

Orange Spiny 15.00

Yellow Sea Whip 15.00

Dwarf Cerith 5.00

Ninja Stars 4.50

Cerith Snails 4.00

 

Macro was attached to the rock in my sump and I also tossed a few zoas in from my big tank. Waiting on Ben for price confirmation............branching GSP came out of my 100 also and was actually a freebie from a local but probably 10.00 bucks for the frag as I hae seen them on ASDs sales for 5.00 for a frag.

 

Fish was 75.00 but not in there yet..........waiting for it to clear up a little more.

 

So including the fish I am at 118.50........I did purchase a few cheap zoas but not in the tank yet........so @jedimasterben get back to me on the cats eyes.......

Looks great!! I like the basket too!!

 

I actually bought 2 baskets :lol: one was smaller and taking it back for another one that size.........it can hold all my fish shit that's on the bottom of the table.......not having any doors on that table sucks but I like the minimal appearance.

I never thought about baskets to hold fish stuff!  I've been using cardboard boxes and a little plastic storage tub lol.
