No seffie i've been lucky, my rockwork foundation was built up first then 4" sand bed put in so they are secure on the tank base...still heart stopping for the first few days though, not sure what i'd find each morning, lol....also most of my rocks are massive so quite secure, whole reef wall is actually only 11 pieces of lr.
The tank is just over 3 foot deep and on it's stand the top edge is 6 foot off the floor...i'm only 5' 7" so no easy task...I use 2foot eheim tongs while standing on arm of armchair when I got to go deep,lol....
Yep Ben...ooo to be a watchman,lol...
Welcome onboard Darren ..nice to see you in here!! Duncs fragged before I put in and started to settle nicely , a few heads even taking a bit of mysis while I was feeding last night. Pic of them on my tank thread, thanx again for popping them over .....oooo just tagged your pom pom and bumble bee's on the other side,lol..

That's really cool. He looks like he might be big? how big is your shrimp? Mines still tiny at 1" or so. He carries one piece of sand at a time. Sometimes he'll turn around facing backwards out the burrow and flick it behind him to get it out quicker.

oh of course, I forgot he was BigCs, boy he caused chaos in his tank

Buddy, do you have bruises on the top of your arm from hanging over the edge of the tank all the time (I do) they look like someone has grabbed me - the kids at school kept asking if someone was hurting me, bless

[Buddyboy67]

Yep seffie..look like i've been whipped at times,lol...
Only ever seen one more kj on another forum and it's keeper was trying to id his as well.

Don't know if any of this will help, but is worth a read. Read some FAQ as some people may have sent pictures to them for ID. If the pictures are clear, not blurry, they'll attach them to the answers.
