c est ma Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Finally 6 months later! A new update! My tanks doing great! I finally killed off some LHA I had. I think my skunk shrimp is going to eat my clown because he is getting so big! I now do water changes every two weeks and can't remember when I last tested my parameters. I just make sure the salinity is good to go before adding new water. Great to get an update, surftaco! (And BTW, how did you come up with that screen name? ) Your tank still looks beautiful and seems to be in good balance, as well. Congrats on a great job! --Diane Link to comment
surftaco Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 Thanks for the Awesome comments! It was hard at first but after awhile I have gotten to know my tank really well. Its much easier now. To answer the question about how I got my screen name, I use to work at a restaurant in Hawaii of the same name. No one else uses the same combo so I have it for my email and lots of the other sites even my gamertag for XBOX Live. Link to comment
Kirin1 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I received my Aqua-Mags in the mail this past week and have attached my frogspawn to it. Its extremely happy now and loves being back there. Its even starting to grow a new head! It looks like you used some marine epoxy on that, how exactly did you attach that? Did you take it all out, or put it together in tank? Did you have to let the epoxy cure at all or was it just stick and go? I've never had any luck with the marine epoxy I have. What brand did you use? Link to comment

What brand did you use? I used Home Depot's AquaMend to attach my Frog Spawn. What I usually do is need the Aquamend in my hands until all the green has disappeared and its super tacky. I then fold the epoxy over the entire bottom, kinda like wrapping the contents of a burrito. Don't be shy with it I use a bunch. Not to worry coraline likes it and attaches to it. I did it all in the same tank. Link to comment
Kirin1 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Sweet, thanks for gettin back. My local club did a group buy on those Aquamags, and I picked up 5 just cause. I really like what you did with yours. Link to comment
