    Hello :D

    Upgraded my tank from a 5-gallon to a 19-gallon yesterday!

    [​IMG]

    Custom-made this 30" x 12" x 12" tank, let the water run for a while before transferring all my rocks, corals and livestock over.

    Lights were given to me by a friend, 4x24 w T5 HO; bulbs are 2 x ati aquablue, 1x ati blue plus, 1 x giesemann pure actinic.

    At the moment the fixture is being supported by 2 makeshift panels made of a cut-up plastic signboard ::) Will get an acrylic support panel custom-made soon!

    Currently my 2.5-footer is home to:

    1 Yellowtail Damselfish
    1 Bicolour Pseudochromis
    1 Orange Spotted Shrimp Goby
    1 Red Striped Hermit Crab
    1 Astrea (I think) Snail
    1 Red-eyed Reef Crab (hiding somewhere in the rocks, planning to relocate)
    2 Crabs? (held captive in breeding container, planning to relocate as well)

    Try doing a freshwater dip on the zoos that won't open... That should help rid them of any parasite or issue...
