fewskillz Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Did the livestock arrive yet? Tagging along Tomorrow. Ships out today, I already have the tracking number. pics Tonight, I've been sick so I haven't done anything with the tank. I'll get it up and running this evening for tomorrow's arrivals.

Deleted User 6 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 knew it those jawfish pairs are so cool. i think I might get a rusty goby pair and some sponges from them eventually. Link to comment
KIE_NY Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Yep.Thanks. I'm at work today at least, feeling a little better. Hopefully I'll last the whole day. This is one heck of a head cold...no fun at all. Hope you'll be back to normal soon! I planned to get my rock from SeaLife as well, and going kind of the same route than you... macros and Caribbean... Not copying here, I guess it was / is quite possible that more than one person came up with this...? Kept searching for nice LR and SeaLife became first choice... Anyway, if you are "fewskillz" than I am "noskillz" so there should be no problem contest-wise... I'll have to get my rock after Thanksgiving, wanna be around when it cycles... Best of Luck! I'll keep checking your progress. Link to comment
Deleted User 6 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Needreefunds did a sealife inc. 5.5g tank - it was really cool looking. I use their rocks in my tank - they're one of the best purchases I've made (also caused some random issues too - but whatever). Link to comment

Dying sponges and Monster Mantis eating trough the glass? Link to comment
fewskillz Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Actually, my little brother is "noskillz". He joined a local surfing forum back when he first started surfing with that as his username. I had only been surfing about 6 months longer than him, but joined that forum after he did. I had to be better than him, but didn't want to sound like I was bragging, so the modest "fewskillz" was chosen. We will forever be known as the Skillz brothers around the beach here. I'm sure lots of people thought about doing the florida biotope thing, I'm not worried about it, this is all in good fun. I was going to setup this tank either way. I didn't get any rock from sealife inc, just my livestock. The last thing I need is more rock, I have at least 250 pounds between all of my tanks! Link to comment
Deleted User 6 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Their rock really looks like the way to go. Random Issues? Dying sponges and Monster Mantis eating trough the glass? issues like out of control dictyota and some kind of random cottony algae. but that's getting under control now. also had 4 or 5 xanthid crabs. there's still one in the tank. the good way outweighed the bad though.

That's what I think right now, too. Never ordered rock over the internet before (this is only take 2 on SW) and wasn't sure if I dare to introduce uncured LR to my tank... On the other hand the stuff sold here at the LFS is more like Base Rock... And the (good) critters that come with real Live Rock are supposed to be pretty much all my livestock... So I'll give it a go. Thanks for your input. Actually, my little brother is "noskillz". He joined a local surfing forum back when he first started surfing with that as his username.

Deleted User 6 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Yeah, I am. Unfortunately we aren't going to get as much time down there as I had hoped. I'll PM you and see if I can find some time to come say hey. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Sounds good. I'm literally only a minute out of the way if you're taking highway 133 between Wilmington and Southport. The main entrance to my neighborhood is on 133. Link to comment

Thanks, I kind of fixed it, can't get a Title / Text into the Topic Link..it keeps jumping to Value "0", once I add the Title... I am no good with that kind of stuff. I use computers for other things, no idea of HTML & stuff. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Got the tank setup this morning. I don't love the aquascape, but it'll do for now. The livestock is supposed to arrive by 10:30 this morning. I don't know if I'll get any pictures while I'm unpacking everything, but I'll definitely take some pictures tonight! Link to comment
got2envy Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 omgomgomg Can't wait to see what you get on your rock!! Link to comment
fewskillz Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Didn't order rock, just corals, fish, shrimp, and crabs. I have plenty of rock, in fact I'm probably going to sell some after this tank is done. I bet I have 250 pounds. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 THEY'RE HERE! Now I've gotta hurry up and finish what I'm doing so I can get home and get these guys in water. I was planning on having at least another hour! Link to comment
travisurfer Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I bet I have 250 pounds. If you need to get rid of some, I can always setup a bucket at home for the rocks you're holding onto for me. Link to comment
