The astreas and ceriths came from AJ's. I was in town for a business meeting and while I was staring at a tank there was another fellow staring at the tank beside me. Turned out was Mseepman. Mark told me about the mondo sized nassarius at All Pet. Unfortunately Mark had cleaned out all but the one I picked up. Rats!

Not sure that the tank is looking all that better, but thanks, certainly the tank is looking more mature. Mark came by this morning and confirmed that the small 5 legged creatures that just appeared are sea stars. Always something new popping out.

Hey Oscar,

Tank is looking good. It's a tough job re-aquascaping because we get used to what we had and what we liked...so I'm glad you plan to give this a few days to "soak in" before deciding if you like it or not.

It was great getting to visit and I really like the Cadlights tank...glad you ended up getting that one.

Mark: Thanks for the input yesterday, some good food for thought.

Even after only a couple of hours I think I prefer the new aquascaping, one of the main reasons is that now I can clean all of the glass. Pulling the rock back also gives me 2 more surfaces for corals. Although I do not think it is obvious in the photos the rock looks more like "rubble" and not a wall.

I do need to do some minor adjustments, a couple of the ricordia are a little too hidden under rock for my liking. Either some rearanging or removing them from their existing rock and relocating them.

The one piece of left over rock I will probably bust up into smaller pieces to either create "islands", go into the refugia, or to replace the last of my bioballs in the rear chamber.

No sea hare yet. I have been trying to control the algae by every other means possible but no luck. I will see if I can get myself a sea hare in the new year.

Let me know if their are any sea hares in the Vernon LFS, I will be up there in the first week of January.
