Paigee Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Good plan on dipping. I plan on dipping all my frags before moving them into the upgrade just in case. And whew! Sold my old fixture and canister, had to drive around a lot. Things left on my list: Trade in old 29g for 20L Wait for light and aio false wall to arrive Buy new heater Mp10 Sand Egg crate Coral rx Link to comment
Paigee Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hmmm.. Still no word from the seller of the AIO wall. Link to comment
gena Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hmmm.. Still no word from the seller of the AIO wall. Is that the guy that had the early arriving baby? Link to comment
Paigee Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yes it was, which is why I wasn't too worried. I'm just impatient, but I understand there are way more important things than shipping something to me. It is on it's way now though, so yay Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 No room for a 2ft cube....but room for a 36" tank...hmmmm Link to comment
Paigee Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 No room for a 2ft cube....but room for a 36" tank...hmmmm A 20L is 30"?? It is the depth I am worried about, it has to fit in a certain spot and can't be wider than 12" Link to comment

M&C Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Any updates on the new additions? I'd like to see a picture of those zoanthids opened up! Link to comment
Paigee Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I will snap some iPhone pics tonight after we finish watching game of thrones... Me and my boyfriends new favorite show.. Just finished the first season in two days Also exciting - just signed up for a group buy from a canadian coral site on a Canadian forum! Should arrive may 8th I believe... Heres what I ordered: Pink/teal paly Christmas chalice Gold eye chalice Blue/purple acan Aussie teal rim acan All frags are $10, this is my first time ordering online, fingers crossed everything goes smoothly! I have back ups listed for all of my choices too, but I've looked at what other members are ordering and I think it should be just fine. Link to comment
M&C Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Wow that stuff sounds great! Can't wait to see everything!! When are they supposed to arrive? Link to comment
Paigee Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I think may 8, not 100% sure yet Link to comment
gena Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Sounds like you picked out some awesome things!!!!! Any luck yet with the pink streaked wrasse? I saw live aquaria got some in stock this week but I'm not ready for one yet. My LFS had a red possum wrasse in yesterday. They are pretty cool looking. First time I'd seen one in person!!!!

They haven't emailed me, but I'll shoot them yet another email... They're gonna love me I wish LA delivered up here! Even though I'm not really ready for one either, I wanted to add it after the new tank is up and running, if I have the opportunity I'm gonna jump on it because it seems to be really slow going. I get my new light today (waiting for the damned UPS right now, they didn't even give me a 4 hour window, tracking just says "Out for Delivery" since 7:30 this morning! ) and I should be getting the AIO wall within the next week, it was shipped a few days ago I believe. After that, cycle begins! I'm using probably about 6 lbs of cured rock with 10-15 lbs (complete guess) of dry rock. Lets hope for a speedy cycle! I think I might leave the 10g up and use it as a QT tank briefly. Might take it off the stand and put it on the floor though, so I can centre the new tank on the wall. Link to comment
Paigee Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Also - note to self - try to make a DIY wooden airstone skimmer and see how it does! Link to comment
Paigee Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Got my lights They came half an hour before I had to leave for work. So stoked! Here's some pics. Boring, but exciting for me The big azz box with my dog Ginger inspecting The innards A pleasant surprise - an extra set of lightbulbs! The inner box with all the goodies And the fixture itself with all the other stuff Huge shoutout to darkside212 for the light! Everything arrived perfectly intact, and more importantly, everything works! Link to comment
