So needy. lol

Those stolen corals do look like toadstools.
And your puffer is awesome!

Stacef · 07-20-2008, 10:17 PM

I am very needy, wait, that's HM (high maintenance) hahaha.

Thanks Victor, I am hoping they are toadstools..

tippMANn98 · 07-20-2008, 10:26 PM

They are, and it looks like they need some extra TLC....take care of them and they will be HUGE

HI Stace... The tank is looking great.... I love the puffers eyes....pretty cool.

Octoman · 07-21-2008, 12:31 PM

Nice pictures! Toadstools can be grumpy from time to time, mine didn't open up completely until about two weeks after I got it. Now it's huge! Also, don't be surprised if they shed a mucus layer in the next few days.

Stacef · 07-21-2008, 10:59 PM

Thanks Mark, I probably would have freaked out if I saw them shedding mucus, not knowing what it is! They are already opening up well. Anything I can feed them? They are already looking so happy!! Well one of the 4 are pouting.

Vicki-You have to come and see it. I won't be as near as impressive as yours, but I am very proud of it. The sump is running flawlessly. I may have to get with you on some more Chaeto macro algae. We may have left it in bins for too long while setting it up. I just threw out all of that that the guy gave me, it was brown...instead of green.

Get ahold of me next time you are heading to Dubuque area. Oh yeah, we went to Aquatic Environments, what a JOKE! SO expensive, we were looking at Hippo tangs, baby ones about an inch or so were 49.99. The large one, about 5 inches. 49.99. No matter their size of fish, they are the same price... Hermits were 1.50 a piece! I wasn't impressed!!

Stacef · 07-21-2008, 11:03 PM

Oh yeah, Your light is cleaned up and ready for you, unfortunately, I can't return it this weekend, I am heading out of town to Michigan, it will be back shortly!!

coleBB · 07-30-2008, 02:57 AM

aquatic gets away with the prices cuz there the only reef shop for miles.. if they had any competion they would be screwed... but adam is a baller because of it. i feel you though i bought evvvverything i own from there.. except dry goods.

Stacef · 08-03-2008, 04:32 PM

Yeha, Pet Mart down the road said they can get anything needed, to let them know a week ahead, and they will cut aquatics prices big time. I have been going there...the stay up with their word.

coleBB · 08-04-2008, 11:21 PM

ive just had bad expiriece with petmart... they sold me a puppy that had parvo and i ended up spending 1200 cuz i fell in love with the damn thing... they are expencive at aquatic but...it is an expencive hobby no doubt..

Stacef · 08-21-2008, 11:11 AM
