:wub: this is sooooo cute :)

I tried to get one of him looking at the BTA! About 10 seconds after I set it on the rock Edgar tried to host it by brushing up against some tentacles. I hope he wasn't hurt but after that he backed up for this picture. I think he learned to look not touch but who knows maybe I could have a BTA hosting goby!?!

Sso what do you think? Can you tell the difference between an ada and a mr. aqua?

They use more silicon but it is clean and straight so thats fine and with glass as thin as the Mr. Aqua is I see no difference from the ADA glass. Thats it though. Its a nice tank. Shame it has to be a sump but thats why Im doing a display fuge.

Quite a bit better than AGA, Aqueon, or Marineland! It isnt that bad kinda wish I would have get the Mr. Aqua 17 instead lol! They make low-iron but mine is regular and the only way I can tell them apart is by looking through the sides of it(greenish vs blueish)

I just saw a lemon drop for $400. It was a fair size too!

fingerscrossed hope mine is a lemon drop then!

Sell those splits for $100 a piece. ;)

I would sell for that right now if they get SUPER yellow like pics of Lemon drops I wont be letting splits go for 100 ;)

Lolol really? You would choose mr. aqua 17 over the ada 60p? Unbelievable!

 

:)

I just don't know if I would pay 120 more for cleaner silicon haha.. Ill keep it though because ADAs are sort of a status symbol around here.

$120 more?? How much is the mr. aqua 17? I thought 60p was only $130 plus shipping costs.

It is really close but I think yours has those purple tips! Some would say (me) that it is more valueable with purple tips!!

ADA costed me $195 shipped Mr. Aqua costed $80 shipped yesterday with 15% off code. The Mr. Aqua went up in price though when I bought the ADA the aqua was round $15-20 cheeper than now..

 

Tank looks great!
Thank you! :D

Some major BTA collectors would dock it for that though but I agree with you the little redish purpleish dots on the tips make it even cooler!

Lolol I see. Well, that's too bad ain't it? LOL I was the one who convinced you to buy the ada 60p instead of the mr. aqua 17. :)

 

I don't like Mr. Aqua...so don't blame me!
