flame angel is hiding under the shelf on the right-a close-up of the coraline encrusted evil tiki god being worshipped by a troll and anemone (horde of course) >:D muahaha how many innocent creatures have been sacrificed to appease him??!
the anemone used to be a fatty white fro on top of his head but it moved to get outta the lights
a bit of backstory: basically, everything died when I moved the tank from the office to my house (totally my fault). lost some corals, clowns, another lawnmower!, some shrimp and crabs :( soooo... now that the tank is all settled again, i moved about 50% of the live rock to the sump, and started restocking again.
some random info for other fellow aquarists, from my own experience:
1) emerald crabs are great herbivores when little- then they become carnivorous death machines when they grow up. don't listen to the fishstores, they'll gobble up your little fish one by one... I saw it catch, kill, and eat my firefin goby with my very own eyes!!
2) same goes for bristleworms... sure, they're great detrivores, but who knew they would grow to be over 6" extended? we finally fished it out w/ chopsticks after a coupla months of camping the tank at night- but not until it ate a clownfish, a cleaner shrimp, and a fire shrimp...
3) everyone needs a tiki monster in the tank for the fish to worship...
good news is: we now have 2 tanks at the office!! hahaha bernie and steve both got one, the latter being home to the epic biggity big (pics later)

Hi Brian,
thanks for your pics.
Your aquarium looks really nice. Saltwater is a lil bit too expensive for me, so i prefer some perches from malavi lake. Isnt 45 gal a lil bit small for a salt-water tank? I always thought it should be 100+ gals.
So you are "allowed" to bring your own aquarium to office? sounds interesting.
greets,
Martin
Hey Martin--
thanks! hehe its a really fun hobby, can get a bit pricey sometimes tho. where is malavi lake?
saltwater tanks can be any size you want, it's just lower maintenance if you have a larger tank.
yup, our office is full of random stuff :D i'll post some pics of our concept room later-
Hey again,
the Malawi Lake is in Mozambique/Africa. Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malawi_Lake
Its home of some nice sweet water fishes.
Some Pics from your office would be great. Maybe I can write about it in my blog ;)
