Way cool Tobin, What kinda crabs are they???

They look to me like Strawberry Crabs.
I've had them also.

 

[Bob 1000]

Do some of them have black legs?? I have seen strwberry crabs, but not with black legs.. Maybe a male female difference???

I don't know,,lol.. Thanks but I figure out what everything eats before I put it in the piano...

Ive had the same emerald mithrax crabs for years now. Supposedly the strawberry crabs were just as easy to keep but they never lasted for more than a month or so. Good luck on them, they look happy in that monster system.

 

[Bob 1000]

Albano has the monster system,, did you hear about that deep sea fish he just got in his deep sea tank??

Canopy bones...

I had a little bit of time last week.. Had to make this as light as possible, didn't want too much weight on the tank..

 

[Bob 1000]

Before the sealing...

Canopy shot 2...

[MIKE NY]

Thanks Mike NY..

Thanks it's already a history in the making,, 20 angles 22lbs..
The average carpenter couldn't top that, making a canopy that strong, that light, with materials that leave a low carbon footprint,,.. It looks like wood, Doesn't it?? The canopy could hold 50% of the tanks here without bowing in 15 years..
This is fun on a whole other level...
Thanks for looking.. I won't keep those looking disssssssssapointed.................

it's not wood? is it the composite decking material like treks?

 

[Bob 1000]

I'll never tell,,lol..

 

[Bob 1000]

First coat of 2 on the sealer/primer..

 

[juiceguy]

looks good Tobin, are you going to run supplements to the halides?

 

[Bob 1000]

Trying not to but reeflux 20ks on a icecap ballast really makes the already not even close to blue 20k look almost like a 10k bulb..

 

[Bob 1000]

One of the 2 new inhabitants in the piano.. Yeah I know I'm crazy.. Hope it works out.. I don't mind if it pics at the acros tha just keep all my polyp extension from hiding the colors of my acros and millis and prostratas and efflos and well you get the picture...
He'll be in the sump until he's ready to eat with the big boys,,lol.. 3" and changed,,, I'm lovin it,,lol...
