pj86 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 What do you plan on doin' with 'em? I want to be able to grow sps, what would be cool is a panoramic aquarium with a area dedicated mainly to sps. Link to comment

pj86 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 True, but I must admit I've always been crazy about building things, so why not make something I can later customize. Are you going to be building a sump for your new aquarium? Link to comment

Are you going to be building a sump for your new aquarium? No sump...keeping it really simple. MP10 + Eheim 2232 Canister is all I'm gonna run. Link to comment

I decided on the Mr. Aqua 12 gallon for the upgrade, this time 100% sure. Now I need to make a budget on how much money I'm going to throw in the tank this time...lol. Last time I went out of control. Link to comment

Now I need to make a budget on how much money I'm going to throw in the tank this time...lol. Last time I went out of control. Nope. No refugium either...I'll probably keep some macros intank. The Mr. Aqua tank is nice too, what made you decide on it? The height? The volume? It just sucks it doesn't come in low-iron glass or I'd probably go that route as well. Link to comment

After reading reviews customers seem to be satisfied, so I guess I might fall within that category. Link to comment

gritchie4 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 The look would be priceless, Haha now picture the look on my face holding my pico in the street when she kicks me out. I think i'll stick with just the pico for now Link to comment
bwoodward0012 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 that look is priceless EVERYTIME i see it. "more fish stuff!?!?!" "what do you need a scooter for!?!?!" "another project car!?!?!" luckily she pays the mortgage and i pay everything else, including her student loans, so kicking me out would not be beneficial to her, though she has threatened to sell my setups for dirt cheap if i make her mad.

Drift Monkey Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 Possible sexy scrimps today? What y'all think? 3 or 4? Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 3, you can always add more later. Word, I originally wanted 3. My LFS (not really local, gotta drive out to SA ) got some in today...I think 4 total. I wouldn't wanna leave one all by its lonesome. I guess it'll depend if he hits me with a deal to grab all 4 (he sometimes does this). Updates later when I get back! Link to comment
bwoodward0012 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 that's awesome... none of the lfs around here ever get sexies. iv'e seen harlequins and bongos locally but never sexies. Link to comment

I'm postponing some of the upgrades Maybe when you swing by Houston, my sexy shrimps will be ready to sell. They are still relatively small, and most likely will take another month and a half before they are mature. Link to comment
