Sorry for my absence, but I got my new tank!

[ecto1]

It's a 210 gallon AGA megaflow. My sump is only 38 gallons but I am going to figure out a way to attach a 75 gallon refugium to the tank - somehow I'll plumb them together.

I put in sand and filled the tank last week, but I still need to attach the sump and hook up my skimmer. I just haven't been able to get out and get the bulkheads.

Hopefully I can go out and get some supplies today. I've gone to many more local fish stores in the last few weeks, and now I swear by A World Of Fish. Their employees are the most helpful and knowledgable.

Just to let you know, I have a friend that used to get fish from there, and he said he has had bad luck with any fish he purchased there. Just a heads up.

Have you ever been to Something Fishy? It looks like a newer place, and it's a nice facility - until I saw the condition certain fish were in. It disgusted me, there was a big rubbermaid tub on the floor containing a few inches of water and maybe 30 mandarin fish - and most of them looked dead!

It made me sick to see that, because mandarins are one of my favorite fish.

After that, I decided to take my business elsewhere.

Yeah, I have been in both places, and I haven't bought anything from either place.
