Operation: Blushing Violet has begun in earnest as of this morning.
In an effort to not have to bribe Tim to pose for pictures I am removing much of the zoanthid-covered rockwork and corals to my main tank (after using a triple strength FE treatment of course :| ). My hope is that he will get used to (or be forced into) the open more often. I'm sure he comes out during the day when no one is around, but I want to cultivate that activity while I am home as well now. I miss having the tank on my desk at work. /grumble
this will also allow more room for the macro-algaes and plants to proliferate helping to'remove' nitrate build-up. The main pieces of his fortress of solitude are staying of course. Just the extraneous stuff is being removed.
He was already barking his displeasure this morning. While he hates change on general principles, he does love the smell of FlatwormExit in the morning.
