Sal Goes Rio With A Bit Of Vision

[Salam]

Bless you all. Sorry, Minnt, I know it sucks when it isn't easily possible. It took us a while, hence I made my peace with one only and making the most of what I got. You could have mine on loan. Just one night will do me. Seriously, I need 12 hours sleep a night, the child is happy with, well less. Every morning 5am he runs into our room "It's morning! Wake up! The sun is here". (insert sweary words)

Bah! It's one giant chat room around here. I need to find somewhere to get those awesome rocks you all have in the UK. I have total UK Fish envy.

You ain't got no rocks?!?

Hey, no need to be sorry. We've got an amazing little 4yr old, but a sibling is proving harder to come by (no pun )

Anyway, it's a fish forum.

I have a box of rocks that I {shamefully} tossed into the trunk of my car from our favorite restaurants landscaping. My husband was so scared we'd be arrested and I was trying not to be seen. They all fizzed in vinegar. I haven't figured out how to return them


Other then that. Locally...the garden centers were a big zip.

See? So you got one blessing. Enjoy him/her I feel much more connected to some of you. I know it's a fishy forum, but it's still nice getting to know the real people behind the screen.

Ha ha, you naughty girl! Surprised there isn't much in garden centres.

Actually, minnt, on that note - did you get your rocks for your Trial and Error tank at Wharf Aquatics by any chance? Will look at more local garden centres tomorrow (won't have time today), but if I can't find anything I will make a trip out again.

 

[minnnt]

Nope! I do have some though if you want them?

 

[Salam]

Well, now that's an offer. I'll have a browse at my LFS first, but if I can't find anything suitable I'll get back to you. We could meet up at WA and let the little ones run around in their fish section

 

[Salam]

Ok, I think I have actually found THE perfect rock for my Iwagumi tank.

Can't decide which one to go for though and whether to get 10kg or 20kg.

Dragon rock This is also available in 20kg boxes

Landscape rock It says this is perfect for Iwagumi, but the pieces look small to me.

Silver Schist rock Really like the colour, would be a nice contrast to the black.

As I can't decide as usual, I would welcome any suggestions on which rock you think would go best for my project. Ta

 

[minnnt]

I also have some limestone you can have.

 

[Salam]

Don't give me even more options, I will never be able to decide!!!

Ok, seriously that sounds really good. Limestone is greyish, right? *toddles off to google*

Have you got enough pieces for me to create something like this? If yes, I'd love to meet up. I'll obviously pay you for it.

 

[minnnt]

Yep. it's f.o.c.

 

[Salam]

Oh, that's great! No f.o.c. please even if I can get you at least something at WA.

On my way out now (need to get a passport photo of the child, that's going to be fun ) but will pm you later tonight and we can arrange a meet. OMG, I am actually going to meet a famous TFFer

 

[minnnt]

Lmfao!! Will get you some pics of the rock.

I'll have a rio 240 then!

F.O.C. !!!
