travisurfer Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 lol, I am running out of snails too Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) The good news is, I got money for my birthday today so I can get snails. YAY! I'm going to pick up some liverock too. Maybe even some corals. HEHE! I love having my birthday on labor day. Edited September 4, 2006 by travisurfer Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 I picked up some snails, rock, and an application Quote Link to comment
fewskillz Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 application to Pets+ ? Happy Birthday, btw. I was at the pets+ by your house the other day and they had a gorgeous piece of LR, I wouldve gotten it if I'd had any money on me. Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 It must have been gone because I would have bought it. I ended up with two smaller ones that are pretty cool. When I take a pic I will post it in the 7g thread. The application is for pets +. Just have to get a worker's permit. That way I get first pic on all the nice pieces of rock. Quote Link to comment
MLK Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 nice thread! I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do with my eclipse 6 now. Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 Glad I could help. Feel free to post any questions. On a side note, I ordered my 2x14w coralife fixture yesterday. Quote Link to comment

Argent Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm on vacation until tomorrow night - I'll update on how my manti are doing when I get back. Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 bozzy: make sure that residency is temperary. when one molts s/he will be eaten by the other mantis vann: i have tons of tiny snails in my tank. they just arent big enough to provide a meal. i caught one of my astreas releasing sperm. last time I looked there were 5 babies on the glass argent: keep us posted. I will try to update my threads as often as possible. Normally I can get on once a day. With more projects and the lfs job it may be hard for me to get pics but I will do my best.

VannReefer87 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 ah i gotcha...guess i'm really in the same boat...just waiting for them to grow...this could take a while :/ Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 haha, yeah. this morning they were way too many to count on the glass alone. my new light should arive on the 11th. Quote Link to comment
fewskillz Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 so you officially have the job at the LFS? Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 not yet, should have it soon though They are desperate and I am overqualified. x2 Quote Link to comment
fewskillz Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yeah, I noticed both locations have Now Hiring signs. Thought about it just for the discount and pocket cash (to spend there). I know about every type of animal they sell except for the reptiles, and I know enough to help the average customer with those. I've got dogs, cats, birds, fish, and have had rodents before. Let me know when you start. Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Alright. I will probably turn the application in on Saturday or whenever the manager is there. The graveyard in Cozmo's tank is really starting to grow. Quote Link to comment
fewskillz Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 yeah, those evil UHC (unidentified hermit crabs) have killed at least 2 snails in the 5.5 gallon. I'm glad we didn't give them to Cozmo, they would've put up a fight. Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Even my small hermits(blue legs) are eating snails. Oh, well, they can never molt right since they always end up coming out of their shells. The shells are really starting to pile up though. Quote Link to comment
fewskillz Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 These guys ate some pretty big astreas. I don't just mean ate the snail out of the shell, the shell is split in half. I saw a hermit at tropical paradise about the size of a tennis ball that looks exactly like the 3 I've got. Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 lol, yours really look like the local ones. they are huge. the damsels are still alive and kickin'. are you getting the xenia from wb? Quote Link to comment
fewskillz Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I plan on getting that xenia if they ever PM me back. Lutra said the tank is in Raleigh, so I have to catch them when theyre making the trip to wilmington. Quote Link to comment
travisurfer Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 (edited) cool, I have to wait until tomorrow to turn the application in since I am soooo tired after the uncw cross country race today. i'll let you know how it goes. Edited September 11, 2006 by travisurfer Quote Link to comment
VannReefer87 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 hey just a quick question...what temp. do you guys keep your tanks at for your mantis? Quote Link to comment
