LITTLEFISHEE Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Very nice, do you have any close-ups? I'm remodeling my 11g, hopefully I'll finish today. Link to comment
pbrr40 Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 *LITTLEFISHEE*- I will have some close ups soon... i am having trouble getting them to turn out good. but i see the you are in Palm Beach county. I went to school down there for a while. what store do you get most of your stuff from. I got my tank and some of the coral at "jewels from the sea" it isn't the best but it is a little closer so i will post it for now. Link to comment
pbrr40 Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Hey does anyone want to see the evolution of the tank? Link to comment
LITTLEFISHEE Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Pbrr, I have recently been to Jewels from the sea, they should change the name to "Jewels from the septic tank". That store was filthy, the glass was dirty on most of the tanks and there were 3 corals dying from brown jelly infections in seperate tanks. I go to The Barrier Reef in Boca Raton for corals, Coral Seas in WPB for corals and Marine Life Designs in Pompano Beach for hand caught fish. What school did you go to when you lived here? I graduated from John I. Leonard in 2000. I go to PBCC now. Link to comment
pbrr40 Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 sorry to hear that about "jewls" coral sea is a nice place but i allways found that they were a little high on price but they had nice livestock and stuff that you don't run across all the time. I went to Palm Beach Atlantic University. But it was too expensive so i transfered to UNC-wilmington. they have a better Marine Biology program any way. Link to comment
pbrr40 Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 here is a picture of the tank when i first set it up in West Palm after a trip down to the keys for macro and some critters: emerald crabs, hermits, brittle star, and a cucumber. Link to comment
pbrr40 Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 then this is wat it looked like once it was somewhat established and i got some corals for it. the emeralds and hermits completely wiped out the macro. Link to comment
