Whoa! I hope mine splits too. I love it so much in that position in the tank, I no longer want to put it in the Pico, LOL!

It's got so much texture and the color depth is unique for a shroom. I love it.

Happy 2020 all.

Got home around 130am after a get together at a friends to find my ATO overfill alarm blaring. Couldnt find an obvious reason until I checked the intake on the return pump. The decorator crab crawled out of the fuge, past the skimmer, and was stuck and barely hanging on to the intake. Blocking the flow back up the the display. Luckily he managed to stay on the outside. I rescued him and dropped it back in the fuge.

I have an acrylic cover on the fuge, no.clue how he escaped. But man, that coulda been bad. I had 3 inches before it overflowed. ;Facepalm

I dont wanna think about what that would have been like to deal with that with the drunk meter where it was. Hopefully the decorator will stay put from now on. Scary.

Wow, that was a close call !
That crab lives up to his Godzilla reputation, put something heavy on top of the cover. I do not want to imagine what could had happen... you dodged the bullet the first day of the year. ;Vamp

Definitely. And one of my new nems from the split wont sit still. Need to find a buyer or a trade soon before it does something drastic.

Absolutely.

The yellow never stops grazing.

Lost 1 of the 2 heads when I upgraded to this tank, and havent seen any new growth since. But it's always open and happy it seems.

The spong monti is starting to creep off the plug.

The purple and green contrast is tough to capture on this acan. But it's almost doubled since I got it at the KOR expo this past spring.

Monti cap has shown great progress the last month as well. Hoping to see signs of shelving soon.

Joker blasto still doing great too. Nice dome of heads establishing themselves.

And it appears we have an imposter trying to fit in with one of the dendro frags.

Not cool.

Thanks. Unfortunately there were some survivors after the berghias starved themselves out. And I am slowly finding them popping up here and there. They're like fleas...
