I did get my hair cut recently, thank you very much :P



And I highly doubt it will kill any weeds, those bastards just don't die.

Bens hair was only a tad longer than mine. Now I have a a 1" tall faux-hawk.

 

How long before you add that rock to the tank?

I have this too! I figured it was a sponge of some sort.

Maybe, but mine is hard. Maybe a calcifying sponge, if there is such a thing? :)

Until it dries, should be about done now.

Put most of the rock in. I put a lot in the display, and almost all the rest into the sump to get it nice and bacteria...y. A bit of the KPA rock will be coming out of the display and put into the display fuge and into the 30g tank eventually, for not not sure where to stick them so the coralline doesn't die :wacko:

I had another trio of money cowries in my cart, but I was waiting on a Paypal payment to come in and by the time it did, they were sold :angry:

I have no clue yet. Wife said the box was here, but her car died yesterday and was towed a couple of hours away to the dealership this morning. They've been giving us the runaround and said that the work would be done tomorrow, and she could come and pick up a rental car if she needed one, no charge. Ugh, Mini.

Fishies are ok!

 

Rabbitfish is showing its normal coloration after a couple of hours in the tank now.

Thats awesome. Glad to hear they are well they look awesome. I have never ordered a fish before online. If only there was a divers den equivalent in Canada...

The tang is actively zooming around the tank and pecking at the rocks already :)

 

The rabbitfish is still not all that thrilled, but the previous two that I had took a few weeks to come around.

I've ordered only twice and I get very anxious each time. I'm not sure who is more stressed, the fish in the box or me waiting for the box and worrying like mad about it.

Ha exactly. I am 100% more stressed than the fish from the store, on the way home, into the QT tank, out of the quarantine tank, things settle down around the 2 week in the display mark. Generally speaking I can tell my stress level by: rapid breathing, pacing around, hanging out near the surface of the tank or near the glass squinting at the fish...

Aww poor mantis.... MURDERER!! :furious:

Hey, if I would have known he was there I wouldn't have tried to melt him! :P

The new fish are beautiful though :)

:)

I like the new fishies! I wish I could have a tang. :(

Why can't you?

So I was standing next to my tank a couple of minutes ago, and all of a sudden the drain started making a stupid amount of noise, water falling noise. Oy.
