Re: Xlayedoutx 60g cube

Very nice!

I'm really curious, what is going on in your signature though?

Sad to say but thats credit card debt, and none of that has to do with the tank. It's from a truck that I bought that a year later the engine and tranny had to be replaced. I've since gotten rid of it though and bought something more dependable. Having it in my signature is a way to keep it in my face and makes me look at it every day. It shows me the progress I make on it or lack of, and helps remind me how important it is to me that I get it paid off as soon as I can. I just couldn't stay away from this hobby though, but at the same time my life would be easier if the card was paid off. It's the main reason this tank is going to be a slow process. I have since cut the card up to keep myself from being tempted.

Re: Xlayedoutx 60g cube

Sorry to hear about that. And just like so many other people do, I noticed the jump at Christmas time.

That sounds like a good plan though. A constant reminder of what is really important.

Re: Xlayedoutx 60g cube

Yeah I can't wait untill I have something underneath the lights besides rock and sand . I really haven't even messed with them much as I haven't had the time. I guess sleeping in on the weekends doesn't help either. All thats in the tank is rock and sand anyways so I figure theres no need for the lights to be on except for show.

Anyways as for updates, I've added about 20lbs of rock, 2 snails that were on the rocks and an Emerald crab that fell out of one of the rocks. I've cleaned up the wires alot under the stand as well, but I still think it could be done better, just trying to figure out how.

Next buy is a small table of some sort to hold chemicals, and various equipment, more rock, and a JBJ Auto top off unit.

I'm going to try to get some updated pictures tonight when I get home depending on how late that is. If not tonight then tomorrow for sure. I think I might also take the time to play with the lights tomorrow as well.
