Jack's Marine Adventure!

[Truck]

last post for today...hopefully

just got back from the LFS dropping my bike , RO water falls off, luckily it didnt bust! undid the door and the phone rang!!!

its the live rock company, i spoke to one of the most helpful members of staff ever! he rang me up and asked what sort of pieces i would like, i told him what im looking for and he said itll be here tomorrow by 9 o clock via APC courier, no dount im not going to sleep tonight but atleast i know im getting my live rock

...should be pretty easy with some lemon juice

I used to think that until I actually tried it

Of course you won't sleep tonight! But it will be a good exhaustion you suffer tomorrow!

Oh get yourself a magnifying glass to give the rock a really close bout of watching

 

[BigC]

Jeez, First of all he falls off his bike laden with RO
and I've never heard of someone loosing a nights sleep over a delivery of LR before except Fred Flintstone..
I know this salty thing is stressful but Truck you seem to be taking this to the extreme.

You haven't lived until you've lost sleep because of your live rock, let me tell you

but its sooo exciting, stress levels on a level 1-10, 1 being the worst...2 (im chilled!) the bristleworms are stressing me out ... breath in

by not going to sleep, i mean not being able to because of being excited

is lemon juice not very good? may have to get some aip X

magnifying glass and red torch are at the ready

I didn't mean lemon juice deffo won't work Jack It may work. I don't know. I just tried Aip X and thought I'd been successful til more of the little monsters popped up elsewhere

I got a true peppermint shrimp in the end and she kept them down nicely (although I noticed one last night under the hammer)

You may be lucky and not get any. I had a few and also a crab but mine came from a mature system. Bristleworms aren't worth worrying about as they're mainly good for cleaning up the detritus I paniced when I saw my first bristleworm but I leave them be now as they're keeping things clean for me

2 peppermint shrimps are in the stocking plan
the fish thus far may be:
2 ocellaris clowns
1 tail spot blenny
1 yellow clown goby
1 orchid dotty back

and maybe 1 more TBA

I did not sleep at all the night before my LR arrived.

Combination of 2 things though,

1) Pain

2) Panicked to high heaven after reading threads about Aquamajic group that it would not turn up at all!!

Luckily for me APC arrived at 8.30am.

pictues uploading onto photobucket, im well chuffed with the rock, now call me a wimp, but i wore 3 pairs of latex gloves, but after i saw a green mantis im bloody thankful i did! he is now in a little metal box and i will take him to my LFS to be sumped whilst the pics are uploading.

i have this purple thing on my rock, two infact, one bigger than the other, it appears to have a mouth, i cant get a decent picture of it at the moment, but its slowly extending! i think it maybe a mushie.
really good rock tbh im really chuffed with it.

 

[TigerIssey]

Lucky you saw that, may have been more difficult to get out had you not noticed it until it was in the tank.

Picsssss

Got a brew on the go come on.
