metrokat Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Unless you have BewBs than you have 50 pages before you see water lol Heyyyyy I resent that. Actually, it was 50 pages before the tank even arrived. Never mind when it got wet. Link to comment

mattyfelts Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 well... today has been good and bad. got some aragonite sand, and some new base rock. however... i bought a fluval cp2, which actually had the fluval cp3 in the box, and i go to plug it in.... no start. The f-ing thing doesnt even run. Im bringing it back to the LFS tomorrow, beyond angry with them. When i called them they said "we can fix it" um no.... your going to return this expensive paper weight and im taking my money elsewhere. Link to comment
