Tamberav Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Equiptment: 2.5g Janky tank: $9 Glass because my dog broke the tank... $2 Tiny HOB filter: $2.50 - with floss + carbon Fountain pump: I had this Nano-box Tide: $100 (bought used) ATO: manual Heater: none! Livestock: Yelowstrip clingfish x2 Horned Blenny Clown crab Juvi green porcelain crab Anemone porcelain crab Polka-dot hermit crab Blue leg hermit crab An algae eating slug Various snails A hot mixed mess of SPS/LPS/Softies/Macro/NPS and a sponge... 8/1/19 5/21/19 I suppose I better get this hot mess started before the month ends and I forget to make a post. First thing that happened is my dog broke the tank so I glued a piece of glass across the back and we are going to roll with it and hope it holds water. While I wouldn't say these are my favorite snacks...a vitamin water and watermelon are what I'm snacking on at 2am before bed. 13 2 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I can see it now, the jankiest tank having the nicest reef inside and taking this competition. You might also need a funny window sticker for the front, and some duct tape for the rim. 4 3 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Well...no sand yet or heater or a powerhead...but it does have some water as of today. Bring on the diatoms and uglies!! Nothing to fancy to see...just a traditional little reef made from a broken tank and scraps of old equipment. I have no idea if the mangroves can survive my cats. I think I sunk 15 bucks into it out of pocket. 6 2 Quote Link to comment

Soooooooo, should we start a pool on the mangroves vs. cats? 😄 1 Quote Link to comment

I think I sunk 15 bucks into it out of pocket. I have a large rock piece similar to the one on your left. It currently has various SPS glued to it. Really like your scape! I contemplated using mangroves earlier on but my LFS only brings in large ones and I have a bird so giant mangrove plant = yummy chew stick. 😅 Can't wait to see this filled up with coral. 1 Quote Link to comment
kimdawg Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I love the rock on the left also. It looks like a prehistoric animal. I think it will look cool covered in coral. 1 Quote Link to comment

Also found a very MEAN BAD CRAB in one of my other tanks attacking one of my fish. He ran into a cave and I had to chisel him out, he had hoards of macro and dead snails and crap in there. Will post pics of him in a sec... looks like this will be a pest pico. 3 2 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 57 minutes ago, MetaTank said: Gorilla crab? No I don't think so....gorillas have white eyes? It looks to be a Eriphia ferox (ferocious reef crab or devil crab?). It is aggressive and kills fish and snails and anything. I am not positive though but was the closest thing I could find. they are listed as a vunerable species if that is him. It had a little graveyard and the cave it was in looked to be made by him. It had a small enterace the same width as him but the inside was hallowed out and large with his collections of bodies. 5 2 Quote Link to comment

Lula_Mae Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 What a scary looking creeper! Looks like he'd as soon stab you as anything! A while back, someone on here had a pom pom crab in a pico. She took a video of the pom pom trying to carry 3 or 4 baby hermits back to her lair... I think that pom pom was related to Shelby (the pom pom I had in my first tank on here). 3 Quote Link to comment
