Gimmito's 450 gal L-shaped tank

[rygh]

+1 on the API test kits. Even long term.
Why : Super-simple - so you actually do the tests regularly.
Not necessarily the "best", but reliable and accurate enough.

Going to try out a Waveline DC 12000 (gen 2) for my return pump on the main display.

I am surprised he didn't get inked!

That was awesome Jim! Random to catch that on video, nice work.

That's good stuff there, Jim

Funny thing you should mention that Arnold... I've never seen him ink.

Yep...I couldn't have staged that better if I tried. I have seen where the shrimp had fell off the fishing line and one one of the hermits grab it. Of course cuttles will come over and grab the hermit with the shrimp still holding on to it. I's funny to watch the hermit try to avoid being a meal also !

It made my day.

Love it! So I guess he is still eating for you and hanging in there? Looks like he was pretty determined to eat his dinner

Yes...once he grabs his meal he goes to town.

Check that Arnold. I think I spooked Cuttles today as I climbed up the ladder. He inked not once, but twice ! I wish I could have gotten a video of it because it was pretty cool.

Can the ink cause problems in a tank? Of course I am talking about a tank that doesn't have over 450 gallons to dilute it.

Kris...great question. Maybe in a nano it might be a problem, although it diluted rather quickly in the 40 breeder.

Sweet, Jim. It's so tiny!

When I first listened to the video I thought you said it moved 30,170 GPH! Guess I need more coffee!!!

 

[gimmito]

John,

It's considerably smaller than my Water Blaster. It's a good thing I had a small acrylic tray laying around to adjust the height correctly. My fish would be banging off the walls with 30, 170 gph !

That looks like a really solid return pump!
