My new 10g nano edventure...

[Anonymous]

This is on my desk at work. Made of a mix of sand & rock from my 5+ year old 75g and my 3.5+ year old 110 gallon that were broken down and moved into a new 180 gallon in my new house. I figured the time was right to set up a tank at my job at the newspaper. One fish, a royal gramma, was shy at the time of the portrait.

The largest of the three sexy shrimp was preening for the camera, though...

Peace,

Chip

Wow dude.

Your "just because" tank wastes my "I put all my effort into this" tank.

More pix!

Nice rose anemone. Where'd you pick that up?

Are you kidding, man? I saw the pics...your tank kicks mine's ass.

I'd kill for that mantis, too. I used to have 2 female peacocks, both about 5-6" (at different times). Lost one to a tank overheat, the other molted then never ate again. Yours' coloration is awesome.

I love your aquascaping, too...it's different. Mine is just 'simple.'

Everyone here is jazzing the tank, tho...and I needed a little relaxing piece of home here in stress-land.

Peace,

Chip

At my shop. We have 6 more in stock right now. This was the smallest of the 7 we had. Perfect size, really...gets about 3" across when fully opened up.

How about we take this to PM, shall we? There's no reason to go mud slinging...

Mud slinging! Like on election day! Weeee!

Chip, you own a shop and work at a newspaper?! Man, that officially makes the count 50%, being the amount of people that I know that have big reefs and more than one job!
Does your store have an online storefront?

Wow really? Maybe there's just something about looking at your pwn creation, it never looks as good to you as it does others. I think your tank is obviously, quantifiably cooler than mine. I like your coral selection (weak point for me since I'm new and don't know lotta livestocks). I also like your rock placement. Nice that you can get into the edges. I like the single mound rising out of the substrate.

The orange plate ... I thought they were sandbed dwellers? I might consider getting one for my nanocube if I can put it on the rock.

It's not a shop that I own. It's the biggest pet shop in the city, and I run the marine section.

This had me laughing my ass off. Good thing I'm L337 or I'd never had known...

Yours is different, tho, in aquascape, with an interesting choice of livestock. Mine is 'typical' and I guess that's why I favor yours. Plus I just kinda grabbed whatever we had in stock that hasn't sold in the past 3 weeks.

Marillion, is that an alveopora in the bottom right-hand corner, under the rock ledge, or some sort of moon coral or something?

They are actually button polyps. I'll bring my camera to work tomorrow and take some more shots.
