It's a great sickness to have! I've got it bad. Looking foreward to seeing the marco since I'll be ordering new rock in the near future.

Great chronical Sarah, you've been busy and things look like they are going swimmingly well!

althea2you · 03-04-2008, 01:13 PM

ok, update! i am not going with the new canopy and stand. i don't like the look of it, and the canopy is not conducive to the type of lighting i want.. even if i were to retrofit the lights, there is no way to fit what i want in there.... the canopy is one of those, where half of the canopy lifts up so its easier access to the tank. and ultimately if i don't like the look of it, why spend the money on it...

soooo, i am going to buy a new tank.. just the tank, and keep my stand, i like the black. and the new tank will be .. well... new! no scratches clean! i will have to repaint.. o well.. minor set back. then get the lighting system i was going to originally go with, the Tek-Lights with 8 T-5 bulbs. i need help with the bulbs though. i don't know what to get. i am getting the Giesemann aquablue and the actinic plus, and then i thought the Hamilton 14000K... but thats all i have! what else? i will post a separate post too about this! :P

still waiting on the Marco rock...itchin to see! dang!!!

That canopy sounds like mine! I could have returned it, but decided to just do the retrofits.

Dang! When I saw you posted I was hoping your rock had arrived!! I'm hoping my box will be there when I get home, but it's icy out today so maybe I'll be delayed, too.

Brand new tanks are good!

My rock just came in the door this minute!!! I forgot I had it shipped to work! It is AWESOME! I'll take pictures at home later and post pictures in my chronicle. It is very fulls of holes, and caves.. there is some rubble from breakoff in the bottom of the box, but I'll just throw that in my fuge when the time comes. YIPPEE!!!
