That you can't have just one opae ula tank? I have such a craving for another, but I just got my shrimps a week ago. How do you resist (if you even do ) the urge to set a new tank/jar up?

After setting up your first jar/tank, how long did it take before you set up another one and got more? Or do people actually wait until their colony gets big enough that they can split it?

Easy! If you don't have the space for it you won't get a second tank

I had to move my Opae to a new tank because my first one was a rookie project

But if I would have the space for it I would connect two tanks like this:

Ha, search multiple tank syndrome in this forum. : )

I already considered that idea. It is fascinating, but I wouldn't trust that during an earthquake.

Ha, can be use to experiment. Each one having a different temperature and testing which one they prefer..

Yup. But imagine you had to clean or modify it

You cannot have just one tank. Totally impossible.

You will come to a realization that there's something special about the opae ula like you have already. The desperation will start to set in on how to get or start another tank. I started with one like everyone else. My wife warned me not to add more tanks. That it always starts with one and before you know it there's too many. I just try to tell her the garage is my area. Same thing as my jars. Started with one and ended up with two. She saw the second one & throught WTF? No way can I add a 3rd but I have one ready. I'm trying to add a second rack in the garage. Granted a total of 6 tanks are for opae ula. The rest is for freshwater shimps that I'm experimenting with. An opae tank or jar is simple. No air, heater, feeding , filtration, or even light if you have an alternative source such as natural light. Once you set up your 2nd one it's all uphill from there.
