yes ma'am, it sure is. once it's dark outside you can hear them fall and bounce off the glass every 1/2 hour or so. just a random ping like someone knocked once on a glass door with a large ring. i've scurried a couple times to figure out who was throwing rocks at the windows and thought... duh stupid.

I had a large crab in my mini reef,but I never actually saw it.At night when the lights went out he would click his claws on the glass.Sometimes it got so loud I thought the glass might break! I tore down that tank to build my viv.The crab got traded in with the live rock for a credit for terrarium supplies,so it all worked out well.Also off topic how do you list all your critters at the bottom of your page?

So I have a pretty good idea now just how addictive this hobby can be.Today I went out to buy my Grandson a birthday present,and I came home with 3 more plants! Good grief.I actually like it more each time I add something new,but I am guessing that a few months from now it may be quite over grown. Also I solved my mold problem by adding an air pump and moving the air around without a fan, works great and gets rid of the condensation.Viv is totally sealed with glass canopy so humidity and temperature stay constant.

the good thing about using broms is that (unless you buy one that gets huge) they usually stay around the same size as when you plant them if you get them full grown.

I like the tank more each time you add something too, lol...
