THE MOVE IS ON !

Funny in a way I guess ;-)

But as I eventually get the picture up - I also need to say that the house has been sold.

This means that within the next month or so - thoughts of re-locating the tank will start filling my mind.

I do not look forward to it - is always a lot of hard back breaking work.

And there is always the risk that something might go wrong.

Also the tank is so damn heavy and a bugger to move due to it's shape . It must be turned on it side to go through any doors.

Wet hands and a slippery glass wheel is essentially what we are dealing with.

I have done this a few times now - so will add some of my tips and experiences here.

Hope somebody can find some use from it.

Happy reefing until next we meet.

LOOKS LIKE THE TANK MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE


We have put our house up for sale. ;-) I have been wanting to re-aquascape , but based on this have decided to let things be.

The tank is due for a make-over but will rather do it once we have settled in our new abode. Will be a few months still,but just makes more sense.
I am still fighting the scourge of Rodactis in the tank and will probably end up scrubbing all of it off the rock before placing it back in the tank.

Happy Reefing

Till we meet again !

HIDE AND GO SEEK OCTOPUS


Sydney - Australian scientists have discovered an octopus species that carries around coconut shells to hide in when threatened - behaviour the researchers said was the first example of sophisticated tool use in an invertebrate.



Rest of story here

A SHORT BREAK

We will be taking a break from trading for a while - so will not be able to take any calls. Please still feel free to look around ;-)

Be back soon.

JAPANESE REEFS

A really impressive Japanese reef with nice pictures. I could not understand anything but certainly lots of eye candy ;-)




An unusual and convenient way to mount frags in your tank. Looks a bit like a soap dish with some holes drilled in it. I like , would you want one in ur tank ???

DOWNSCALE !!!

I have not been able to devote as much time as I would like to the tanks anymore.

This has made me decide to downscale and go for something a lot smaller and more manageable.

I have set a temporary tank up and will be moving all my "Keepers' over to this tank.

Once everything else is gone I will look at building a new tank .

Thanx for looking.

Happy reefing.
