Just wanted to post a pic of my 10 gal. I have had this tank going for the past 1 1/2 years. About 2 months ago i had a tank crash. Partly due to my water change neglect and the other part due to the crushed coral bed. I paniced and put everthing including the two clowns into a 5 gal tank...... :scared:
This did not work out well there and I decided to put all back into the 10 gal. This like musical chairs and not good for the fish nor the tank. So with keeping all the water plus having to add more new stuff with salt all went back into the 10 gal with a sand bed that was in the 5 gal. It is a shallow bed as I don't want anything trapped in there nor any nasties happening. I really need more rock so what I have I have spread out in the tank. Hubby and the kids will be going on a golf vacation soon..........
I will get another chunk or two of rock then.
Things seem to be going well so far, everything checks out fine as I thought it would the fish are happier to be in a bigger tank. I was going to get rid of them and just do the 5 gal invert tanks, sure glad I did not. I just love these clowns, my feather dusters are fine, the one is growing a new crown after the disaster, my new Sexy Shrimp is the cutest thing ever, my blue legged hermit crab is doing well, my mushrooms are all doing great. The only thing I lost through this whole thing was the Crushed Coral that found its way to the garbage can, all my snails died and I lost my tube anemone. I really don't mind for loosing the anemone as it sure did a number on my poor clowns and also contributed to the crash of the tank, gosh that thing stunk but looked healthy ontop. I also threw in the garbage can my bottle of Micro Vert, huge waste of money. For now nothing gets added to this tank as I just don't want to go through that again.
I have sure learned my lesson about water changes, substrate, and additives to the tank.
Please excuse the background of the tank as I just don't have enough rock to make it look good so I added a back ground for now.
