Fish Crazy
Well its about time I started my journal, as the title says this my Birthday present....err...to myself! It was going to be from the boyfriend but he does not want another tank in the house
(we have 1 tropical 26ltr, 1 brackish 60ltr..which is going to be upgraded to approx 300ltr in the future)
So after much persuading and not getting anywhere I bit the bullet and said fine I will buy it myself and thats that!
So after 2 days of him not really speaking to me I went to see Anguilla82's old nano that he has upgraded. And yep you guessed it I have said I will take it, so after much discussion and oggling
over the upgrade I left a deposit and went home with a big smile.
So the boyfriend is now speaking to me...only because he thinks I have decided not to get one...because I didnt bring the tank home....he doesnt know I am going to pick it up at the weekend! so shhh its a secret! I plan to tell him it is coming home at the weekend hopefully tomorrow..or the nextday...or maybe he will read this!
If so...sorry but I had to have it!
So anyway as this is going to be a birthday present to myself I am under my own strict instructions not to do anything to it until the 25t of may.
So now for the planning, Anguilla82 has kindly talked me through the tank...Im sure I will forget loads!
So far the equipment is -
1 D+D nano 29g
1 Visitherm heater
1 External Eheim Filter (oops forgot which one...the big one!)
1 Korilla nano
Upgraded lights...err 26w??? Please correct me Anguilla!
Upgraded pump
Nano stand (with plug sockets on the side)
Left over coral sand from the upgrade
I think that is it...might have missed something!
So the plan so far is to a, pick it all up next weekend....and wait! b, plan the other bits I will need to get it set up...like water containers, where to get LR from, how to set the refugium up, where to get the extra test kits I will need (I already have saltwater API kit for my brackish tank), and mostly gain as much knowledge as I can before I start!
So prepare yourselves for question overload! Oh and picture overload...because I know everyone likes that bit!
I will try to keep this as entertaining as possible! Oh and I might edit this welcome bit after the boyfriend is ok with the tank as he will want to read it! so like I said....shhhh on that bit!
Any questions?...And Hello to all!
