    What kind of cucumber is that? It looks awesome and I want something similar. :)

    I've been thinking about a sea cucumber for a while.

    Oh wow. I'm sorry to hear about the fish food. I'm sure that was stressful for you. Was the lid off of the food container when you have/had it on the top of the tank?

    It sounds like you are doing everything right, with the temp. 10g tank.

    You know I'm not sure what kind of cucumber it is. All I know is that he spends all of his time in one spot on my glass with its feeding arms out. It is really colorful. Best part is I got him for five bucks from a local reefer. Yea the lid was off. It really sucks but the stressfull part is over. I redid my plumbing and went with the clear tubbing instead. It's so much easier to work with than plumbing. I'm hoping my sand gets here by Thursday

    I like the flex/vinyl tubing. It is easier to work in the curves than so with PVC (which I have now). I will probably use the black tubing on my next tank, so algae can't grow in the lines.
