Drift Monkey Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 great videos drift. My sexies love frozen mysis. I bought the san fran bay brand cause my petsmart didnt have hikari in stock. Just thaw a cube in some water and split it into 2 cups so its thin layers and then refreeze it. Then you can just break it up and thaw small pieces when you need to use it. My petsmart had zero...looks like the search goes on tomorrow... On the bright side, my dryrock should be in tomorrow...still no tank though... Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 My petsmart had zero...looks like the search goes on tomorrow... On the bright side, my dryrock should be in tomorrow...still no tank though... That gives you more time to come up with scape designs Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 That gives you more time to come up with scape designs It took me about 3 tries to get the one I have for this tank... I'm a 'scaping genius! Seriously though, I'll have more rock to work with so we'll see what I can come up with! Might have to buy another bucket and bet my curing/cycling on early! Link to comment
gritchie4 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 So when is the tank expected? Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 So when is the tank expected? Hell, I was supposed to try to pick it up this weekend while I was in Houston, but it's still in customs. Supposedly they get their hands on it tomorrow...we'll see. At this point I'll just pay the shipping to get it whenever (cheap, it's not far). Link to comment

Well I would definitely start working on the scape and start curing the rocks while you wait. Where did you order the dry rock from? Link to comment

Where did you order the dry rock from? BRS. Got in on a local GB for some free shipping! Got about 10lbs (not gonna use it all)...so I'll have plenty... Link to comment

TMG Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I simply love your inverts diversity! If Sexies just weren't so damn expensive here in Denmark I would have a bunch of these as well. Also, I love the way the Anemone Shrimp just wags its 'tail' all the time Looks amazing! Link to comment

He is pretty sweet...def my fav right now I think. What camera are you using for your videos... your iPhone? Yup...not bad eh? Great now I need a glass shrimp. Thanks drift...lookin good btw Glad I could help... Thanks man. I simply love your inverts diversity! If Sexies just weren't so damn expensive here in Denmark I would have a bunch of these as well. Also, I love the way the Anemone Shrimp just wags its 'tail' all the time Looks amazing! Thanks! I'm just curious, how much do they cost there? Yeah...you should see how the shrimp "claps" sometimes...highly entertaining...it'll even clean my finger now! Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Picked up 10lbs BRS “Reef Saver” Eco Dry Aquarium Live Rock. Stuff is pretty nice...really porous and stacks together like legos! Still messin' around with 'scape ideas, but can you guess how many pieces of rock this is? Link to comment
.Newman. Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 But what if its FOUR? first scape looks like fun. Link to comment
TMG Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks! I'm just curious, how much do they cost there? Yeah...you should see how the shrimp "claps" sometimes...highly entertaining...it'll even clean my finger now! The cheapest I have ever seen them is like 15$. But that's only when my LFS takes a trip to Dejong Marinelife in Holland to get them. Never seen them in Danish stores though. You just inspired me; I ordered two sexies, an anemone shrimp and a porcelain crab Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 FIVE! Close... But what if its FOUR?first scape looks like fun. Colder... Yeah I like the first one...we'll see. The cheapest I have ever seen them is like 15$. But that's only when my LFS takes a trip to Dejong Marinelife in Holland to get them. Never seen them in Danish stores though. You just inspired me; I ordered two sexies, an anemone shrimp and a porcelain crab That's about the right price... Awesome! You won't be disappointed! Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Now for some sad news...my anemone shrimp jumped! Found him dried up under my AC70 this morning of all places... Poor little guy...R.I.P. Link to comment
TMG Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sorry to hear about your shrimp, man. It's bad. Is this your first jumper? Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sorry to hear about your shrimp, man. It's bad. Is this your first jumper? With this tank...yes. Everything else seems to be fine. I guess I'll try to find another one... Link to comment
.Newman. Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 and pick up a lid while youre at it. shrimp and fish are very good jumpers. Link to comment
jgpico Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Dude that sucks. I am putting a top on mine now since I think my hi-fin jumped but I'm not sure. Since I'm getting an anemone shrimp I'm putting something after seeing this... I'm saying 3 or 6 lol Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 and pick up a lid while youre at it. shrimp and fish are very good jumpers. Wish I could just head to the store and grab one...finding one is not exactly easy. Dude that sucks. I am putting a top on mine now since I think my hi-fin jumped but I'm not sure. Since I'm getting an anemone shrimp I'm putting something after seeing this... I'm saying 3 or 6 lol ? Link to comment
.Newman. Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 yes idk what the 3 or 6 refers to...? You can have a lid made for you at a glass/mirror shop. Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 yes idk what the 3 or 6 refers to...? You can have a lid made for you at a glass/mirror shop. Measuring it out the tough part I think... Update...all the shrimp look happy...they all took to the mysis very well (so did the crabs!) One of the sexies molted as well, but it seems one of the sexies is MIA as far as I can see... Link to comment
