    My in-the-tank drip method

    My biggest question is how in the heck am I going to get him in the tank! He's in about four bags (can't imagine why). I'm going to try to get a good bit of the water out with a turkey baster after he's done acclimating and kind of slide him into the tank. We'll see how that goes.....

    WHAT??? You told 3reef before you even told me? You showed them pictures before you showed me? You make me cry on the inside.

    So are they transparent bags? If so, I demand a picture. :D

    He came out and took a whack at it (nice pic taken by Jwin - since I make him "cry on the inside," I guess I'll give him credit)

    I thought he might be hungry after his adventure in the shipping box, so I put a little piece of krill on the tongs just to see if he would take it. He came right out and grabbed the krill! Sorry Jwin!!!!! It was really cool, by the way! 8)
