    Cool setup you got going. I definitely like the "Eyeball" tank and the way you have it hooked up to the main DT.

    Thanks for the compliments!:)

    Last night I was checking out the tank with a red light and found a Gorilla Crab this is the best pic I could get ...He is just below the rock eyeballing his lunch!:uzi:[​IMG]

    So I set up a trap (just a glass jar with an oyster at the bottom) But this didn't work.
    So I pulled the rock out that he was living in and :drummer:..............GOT HIM

    He killed alot of my clean up crew!

    Here is a pic of my old setup before I lost it all
    Sold the tank but still have the fuge (The wall tank)
    I am going to hook the fuge up to the new tank also.
    I like it being part of the display...Had 2 mantis shrimp in it
