+1 No canopy.

Sorry, I have to disagree with Eric. One tank higher than the other CAN cause overflows. 2 tanks at the same height (which is what you want to set up, just with different names) linked with a siphon type tube can NOT overflow. As long as the pump is not too powerful (which you wouldn't want...

A siphon and one pump is way safer than trying to match 2 pumps. Failure of either pump gives you a flood. One pump and 2 siphons is pretty bulletproof as long as each siphon can handle the same volume as the pump can push.

2 and 3 look like Hair worms, no feeding tentacles but quite long gills along the body. Good detritus feeders which burrow in the sand and under rocks.

My pleasure :-) and yours too I think. I have one with plain colour tentacles but no good photo of it. I should add that anything which clicks is not a Mantis or bad. I have a couple of Pistol shrimp which click too and are good fun (as long as your rocks are firmly based because they are...

I took this photo of my Spaghetti which has banded tentacles up to 6inches long. It started off in the coral rubble base but now lives in a rock half way up the tank.

Second one looks like a Spaghetti worm, a useful addition to your CUC.

I'm pretty confident I have good coloured Spaghetti worm here, and a Hair worm which came out for a walk. Never seen that before! Got a mean crab now too, but that one has to go (trap set). :flame:

Pretty sure it's a limpet from those photos. No harm in them and not much can eat them either.

Sorry, that's the second one. No idea about the first one.

I'm no expert, but I have a chiton and a limpet and it looks somewhere between those. If it is, it's an algae eater and I regard them as good if slow cleaners. I'm sure there'll be a real expert along soon :-)

+1 for the L with curve, but make it curves for inside and outside corners, not only a sensational tank but also awesome optical effects.

Just to open the horizon, I got round door/stair issues with a big open steel frame mahogany tread spiral stair. Looks great, does the job and incredibly easy to carry unbelievably big stuff up too. Good luck. Great posts and projects :-)

+1 for the full tank shot! re-awakened my interest in macros. Beautiful and very healthy looking too.

Dead ringer for the pale form of my cucumber, photos in "Black Worm" in this forum. Nice friendly hitch hiker.
