I agree, nice setup. I really like that its not under the stand, seems like it'd make everything a lot easier.

Yea the farthest chamber looks like a stretch lol. I still like it.

U ain't lying. I'm 6'1 and it takes me leaning to get to it.
 
Ohh that's one point I missed, thought I covered them all. You have to use a hard container to move him. His spines will get stuck in the bag and/or break off fins. Im sure you're familiar with he acrylic boxes the lfs uses when buying a fish? Those are best...or tupperware

Got it. Just avoid being stung, huh? Lol...
 
Just grab him, how bad could the sting possibly hurt?? I AM KIDDING lol. Though I have read that it hurts about as bad as being stung by a bee. I'll take their word for it lol.

Poor guy! So little water :(. I make my LFS give me extra water from the tank so they don't get stressed when acclimating even more so because the bucket is on the side.

Yeah, wasn't much, but he's spunky! Moving all around.
 
Looking good. Did you get anything to feed him yet? Live feeder shrimp usually work if he won't eat.
