[plecosword]

Yeah and way quiker than I had expected. I'm proud of it lol

Looks great just make sure to keep that hydrometer clean.

Mario, where is that cut and paste job I got you to enter into TOTM? I want to compare!
Seriously, some say the skimmer is essential for a small tank. On day 3 it isn't really, but you will appreciate one when you finally get it. It is amazing how much crap they can pull out.
Other than that...what is for supper? I see something on the stove top!

I usually socke it in tap water, not sure what you mean though.

lol

Hey I just noticed, can you see my big aiptisia? I have 2 other tiny ones that survived the 3g massacre lol

 

[rlcline76]

Upon careful review of that cut and paste job, I think it is safe to say that you will need a bigger tank! I don't see the aiptasia in the cut and paste job. lol

Great job Mario - cant wait for updates when you get there...

 

[plecosword]

hahaha ya, ill up date the minute something happens, wich by the way, I have a ton of worms, I placed the live ones on the sand and they quickly dug under the sand. i sumetimes see ones poking its head out like a garden eel.
Becky, I never really made a cut & paste job for the 20g, this is like the preview of the 55g, or bigger hopefully

Cool!

Looking wonderful Mario!!! Wooo hooo!! Finally, and we BOTH thought we were both not setting up until July.. the wait is just to intense..

 

[Craig Manoukian]

Mario welcome. The tang, eel, and fox face will need a much bigger tank, but what an excuse to get one, eh?

 

[plecosword]

yah! This is more of a qurantine tank in a way. Stace I totally forgott to tell you. I'm still in shock from all the stuff in one day. still here i am repliying on my bros iPod touch at 2 in the morning!! what a week I had

Soak your hydrometer in a mix of water and vinegar.

 

[Dentoid]

I see the aiptasia in the middle of the LR pile. Tell us more about your plans for stocking? Reef or FO? What fishes? What corals? That last picture is so clear it looks like there is not water in the tank!
:swmfish:

 

[plecosword]

water and vinegar? Does that wash of dried salt?
