i even thaught out loud to use the water treatment unit we have ,hubbys like NO WAY with the cost of the filters might as well get that thing-a-ma-jig, lol.
he said your the one who didnt want to "pay for water "


yes reefscape tyvm on my way to check it out now and take notes

gm all
 
ok here goes ,
tank is foggy ,but starting to see better in there .

After changing the CC do i need to start the cycle over ?
i should have left some under , hubby missed a bit in the corners and it looks pretty layered .
i think we need to add more (how much for 90gl ?)grrrr more waiting for the sandstorm to clear .
but gonna try the pvc see if that works better .
So i cant test right not with all that sand ? it should be clear tomorrow im thinking amm should be high as well as rites,we started last sunday so we shouldnt see rates for another week or 2 right?
My daughter has a fasination with the "purple " light lol
I have the coralife x4 ,65 watts ,(is this good lighting)we are well aware we will need to buy another ,should i go the same ?
but dont need anything more unless we get coral right?
What do you think is a good waiting time to put coral in ?
I would like to get some rare pieces :-) and then maybe frag and trade :-)
i was thinking 3 months .........
Good thing the dane keeps me busy , the 2 parrots and the new lionhead rabbit we havent named yet also keep us busy .

We just came in from a walk ,here we are out in the feild and there is someone in the dark looks like aproaching us scared the crap outa me had my 6 yr old witth me ,then i started to think who would be stupid enough to approach us lol.
We took off like scared rats b4 i thaught geee we have this horse with us and im scared lol

Thanks all
 
Hikari has great frozen food but I'm not familiar with their dried or what is in the FW stuff. The Silversides, will be good for the bigger carnivores like wrasse, anemones, even some LPS corals. The brine shrimp is OK as an occasional treat, but not real nutritious. The saltwater multipack...eh not familiar with it. Without knowing what you're planning on stocking and if you have FW fish that could use some of that I'd probably pass on that deal.
 
Thanks ..........i will take your advice and pass on it .
Good thing i have somewhere to ask phew lol

im just so cheap , always looking for deals lol

Hmm, I'm not sure about trading with people out of country. I suppose it would depend on what the laws are for importing certain things into CA. There are certain companies that do business with canucks though, I think there is a sticky in the DIY/Products forum that lists some.
