how do you guys do the "thorough cleaning"??? do you remove the plants and vines and give it a good spray down outside???

Congrats! If he is anything like Stanley, he will be very friendly and a joy to watch.

P.S. - he is already so big that we are going to try and finish his 'Big Boy' house this weekend. His little 16x16 house is just too cramped. He needs room to stretch out. His new house is 28" x 24" x 48".

I know Lisa has been posting pics of her Stanley, but I took a few today, and thought I'd share.

We have a Mist King and it is built very solid. I would recommend it to anyone in need of a good mister.

He tastes like a glazed donut! Don't tell Lisa, but I snuck a taste.

Ours hangs out in his sleeping spot an hour or so before lights out. I think they are just winding down and getting ready for lights out.

We opened the box, misted him on a hibiscus, fed him, watched him poo, and here he is getting used to his new home.

This just in - Stanley is here! Already eating. And with food comes...

When you say room temperature...what temp are we talking? Our house and the water is staying around 75F-78F. Is that too cool? If so, we can add a heater to bring it up. What temp do you recommend? 80F, 85F???

Except the kale, they all sound good to me. When's supper?

I was told that the aluminum screen could be harsh on their toes. That is why we went with the pet screen instead. The top screen will be aluminum so that the light is not blocked, but I can see how the pet screen could block light from coming in the sides of the cage.

reptoman - nice little tank you have there.

Ok...not sure what laurie is talking about, but jannb - it is nice to meet you also. Believe me, she is already in LOVE with Stanley.

Thanks. Reefkeeping has always come easy to me. I am told I have a wet thumb...not a green one, though. I can't seem to keep indoor plants alive, but corals and fish grow like weeds.

I have been a reef aquarium hobbyist for about 16 years now. My current home tank is a 240 gallon mixed reef. I also own a fish store in Memphis, TN. Here are a few pics of my home tank. Full tank shot. Full tank shot. Close ups of coral.

The top will be screen and two sides will be, but the back and bottom are solid. I think I will just stick with the Pet Screen on the door. After putting it on the sides, I see that it is easy to see through. Thanks for the suggestion, though. This is the fella that is going in the...

Stanley's dad here. I am not AS excited about Stanley's arrival as Lisa is, but I have to say I am getting a little more anxious as his arrival grows nearer. Building his new enclosure is fun, and now seeing his picture...he is quite an attractive little guy.

Great start. I am looking forward to watching this one. Maybe I can get some ideas for my build.

Very nice looking enclosure. I hope mine turns out as nice.
