Setting Up The 29g. Totally Psyched I Have Saltwater In My Living Room

[kj23502]

Bought my first fish:

http/www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemD...&ddid=60828

I'm thinking it should mail tomorrow as it said the cutoff is 9:30 am. I should have it Wednesday then

They are all really tiny so I'm thinking they won't have a huge bio-load. So here goes

Very nice KJ. Nice to get the pair and the shrimp.

Must say wish there was something in the UK as good as Live Aquaria seems. Sadly there is not.

Good luck with them.

To bad you don't have something similar. I guess you've probably checked around quite a bit, huh??

They have quite a facility.

I have looked at their corals before but I have just looked at the Reef safe Wrasses they have in stock. What a choice, oh to have half of that choice over the internet here. I am going to order one soon, I would love to have that choice, will probably end up being Carpenters although if I could get hold of McCoskers (seems more colouring) I would be extatic.

If you want to buy over the internet here you seem to need to use 2 or 3 places then that bumps the p&p up.

It certainly looks a decent set up they have there, is very good for dry goods too (they will post those to UK).

Dude, those motorized light rails they have on their coral grow out tanks are AWESOME.

Thing is Truck thats Aquatic life direct again. Trop fish 4 u (That I have used and was very happy with) had there web site up again for about a month, its gone again now. The other problem is that they never have anything in stock anymore, a couple of weeks ago on Trop4you site they had an L260 plec, on the aquatic life direct site they are out of stock. I wanted to purchase one or two things from T4U and 1 or 2 from ALD once you add on £30 for postage on the two orders it becomes more expensive than lfs.

yeah the prices are issues, and now everything's out of stock, i think they may be going under

After buying my fishes yesterday I've made an adjustment to my tank....

Added sand to have greater depth for the shrimp to build his tunnels

Is this just the light reflecting off the top part or was the original layer dirty looking? It didn't look dirty to me when I'd observe the tank. No diatoms yet, either.

My critters should arrive tomorrow.

Like the cave

looking forward to critter pictures

 

[ben1987]

pretty looking fish, the sands fine. Was the same in my old tank

 

[TigerIssey]

Nice tweaking.

 

[Truck]

nice scape
