Came for the cats -they are super cute.

 

I guess I'll stay for tank updates... ;) 

Thanks, I think they are cute too! I wonder how long I could get away with just making this a cat thread...

Post a picture of cats in the tank, call them catfish, boom, done.  Instant license to post about them forever. :lol:

So young! Our youngest is 1 1/2 and is still crazy.

That sounds like a good workaround!!

 

Tank won't be wet for a bit, I can't get a finish I like on the stand. I'm getting super frustrated. I wish I could find laminate local to me, but everywhere I can find it has long shipping times.

I got mine wet. Tank is actually clearing up pretty quick. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Nice, that's great to hear! I'll have to figure something out, I'm itching to get moving.

IT'S WET!!

The transition went well, but I was really really stupid and forgot to measure the salinity in my pre-mixed water before I moved everything over. I measured after, and it was at 1.020, so I've been trying to get it up (carefully) to an acceptable level. A few things seem really upset, but this could still be due to the move, and not just the wild salinity swing. I hope my inverts are okay. :scarry:

 

Took this last shot of the tank under natural light while I was moving the tanks around.

I'll try to get a good full tank shot once the water clears. I don't even know if I like my aquascape yet, I kind of felt my way through it blind.

I hope everything's alright!

Thanks! Things are starting to look okay, but everything was definitely pretty pissed off.

 

First full tank shot:

I'm not 100% satisfied with the scape, but it is pretty close I think. Just a few small adjustments, and I'll be very happy. Coral placement needs to change, and I need to buy another powerhead as well.

Looks really good bud. I think the scape came out great.

Thanks!!! I made some adjustments already, and am much happier now. I am avoiding my urge to post another picture with just some tiny little changes. -_-

I took these shots to put in a for sale thread, as I'm looking to thin out the larger colonies and sell off the yellow polyps, but they were decent shots so I might as well post them.

I forgot to mention that the stock pump was super loud on my tank, and just kept getting louder. I decided to open it up, and found the ceramic rod was broken <_<. The good news is that IM should be replacing it, but I haven't heard back to know when that is. 

 

I debated just upgrading the pump itself, but I have a few other things I want to buy before that happens.

Ugh I didn't even realize this was a common issue... I really hope the replacement comes in quickly, and works correctly.

New fish

 

I forgot to actually introduce Blenny “the Jet” Rodriguez to you all!

 

36509016895_ac8b9db211_k.jpg

 

He has started to warm up quite a bit since we got him, but he still seems somewhat camera shy. This is the best I could get for now, but I am sure I will be able to snap some full shots soon.

 

Still no replacement pump from IM, although I got an email from them yesterday saying it was going to be shipped then. It is getting quite annoying dealing with this noise though.
