Yep, still following! LOL

looks great, love the purple firefish!

Looking great! Adding my first coral to mine this week!! I see you have those annoying little white things all over the back of your tank too!

Soooo i know it's been ages again on the updates, so after buying what i thought were a pair of snowflake clowns it turns out they are black ice snowflakes which im mega happy about.
The only problem is with them being tank raised, they had been in with a nice chunky Rbta for 3 and a halg months and hadn't so much as looked at the nem.
Last sunday we came home from taking my mum out for mothers day dinner my gf went upstairs and started shouting I went upstairs to see what was going on to find the pair of them rolling around in the nem. AMAZING!
On the downside though, my firefish has disappeared. I can only assume the nem has eaten it, he hasn't died in the tank as ive had everything out he's not gone surfing either and isn't in the weir secrikn so i can only blame the nem surely?!

Hey not sure if anyone is still following this at all still but though I'd do a tank update.
So it's my birthday today and I woke up to my girlfriend presenting me with a lfs bag shed sneaked out early and bought me a lovely new green candy cane coral I'd been eying up for a fortnight now. A couple of photos as well hope you like!

Wow looks great. You nem is massive......

 

[Mjpendrey]

Love it mate!! Looks great! Wish I had some corals

 

[Russ_gibbo1985]

Thanks mj im really happy with my first sw attempt I'm upgrading it to a 30 gal in the next couple of weeks because as pointed out my nem is getting to be a big fella. Still saving for the 120 for the living room.
How come you have no coral in there yet mj??

Unlucky my friend lol. What sort of dog are you looking for me and my girlfriend got a German shepherd 8 months ago she's doing great.
I've got kind of a lot going on at the minute too. Im buying a 30 gallon and in the next couple of weeks to upgrade this tank so look out for a new build thread! Im also saving for a 125 gal setup for my living room hopefully in time for Christmas. Exciting stuff!

I woke up this morning to find my huge nem lookin pretty rough. Over the next six hours I witnessed the most incredible thing, the foot slowly swelled to the same size as the neck and then it just kept on walking, over six hours it slowly tore itself in half and split it was amazing and now, there's two!!!

Cool. My RBTA split a few weeks ago but I didn't get to see it. That would be fun to watch. Debated selling one because I also have a GBTA but with the new tank, I have lots of room soooooooo.......................
