that lobster is sick.
makes me want one.
is it reef safe? how about with little reef fish?!
Yeah.
lol Get one!
Yup, its reef safe, but you can't keep them with shrimp. They will try to go after little reef fish but all little reef fish are super fast, so they don't go after fish. The person I got the lobster from had it in his nano reef with clown fish, and little wrasses and he said the lobster never bothered the fish. Just killed his shrimp. lol
great set up. i know the light you got, although the price is great, you are going to want to invest in better halide bulbs and a better ballast, because the included ballast is crap. i know for sure the ballasts can't run 14k phoenix bulbs.
are you going to set up a fuge, or stick with a regular sump?
i am interested to see how this will turn out, your nano tanks were great.

I assume you have had to do some cutting from your stocklist. How long before you can show us a stocklist?
I'll show everyone the stock list when the tank is ready for live stock.
i see one downside with it killing shrimp.
while maybe never seeing the lobster in the day, from what i have read it likes to hunt mostly at night and will spend most of its day in a cave.
so while not seeing this lobster to much you cant have shrimp which are always super active.
although the lobster is very very cool i would keep it in a 2nd tank.
very nice find though!

your gonna fill it in the middle of that room?
Yup. The tank is going to be viewable from all 4 sides. And its not a room, its a living/family room.

How are you filling it? Are you using your RO/DI? That is going to take quite a while...
With my RO/DI unit. Its going to take about 2.4 days or so? My unit makes 75 gallons per day.
