hey guys,
okay. so today was suppose to be the day where i put everything together on my 60gallon tank. all my equipment was here, lights, filter etc..and i just got my stand/tank/canopy. woohoo.
so yesterday, i went to pick up my stand/tank/canopy. guess what. they only had the stand/tank. they dropped the canopy so i would have to wait another week. oh wells..no biggie..but it was a sign of things to come....
so today, i moved my livestock from my 10gallon into my friend's established 60gallon (for now..unless we don't catch them..then they stay there. haha). then as we were putting the filtration together..guess what? i piece of plastic was broken in the wet/dry! ah man! and then..i wanted a blue background on my tank but then the overflow box had a black background! (yeah..u kinda see where this is going?).
so i went to my LFS..and (dattack should be happy. hehe) i bought a 20gallon tank as a sump. woohoo. (oh yeah..i'm planning on returning that wet/dry). so i come back, spend about 10minutes scrapping tediously those sticky stickers on the tank. i go to my stand to put in it..and guess what? it doesn't fit! HAHAHA. maaan. so then back to the LFS..got a 15gallon that fitted and spent another 10minutes tediously taking off those stickers...
so where are we now...well, i'm ordering my overflow/powerhead etc from marinedepot on monday (which means it'll arrive on tuesday) and then i can go ahead and start to set things up.
oh yeah..if any of you remembered, i posted something about a guy who was selling liverock/livesand and some critters for $150dollars? since i didn't have much to do, i went to his place to check it out. it was cool...i'm still waiting to hear from him cause he has a guy that called before me..but he said i have first dibs on the corals...(a openbrain, closedbrain, hammer-something, something-tree, green star polyps, two medium clusters of mushrooms and some assorted corals) for $100dollars. not bad considering those two clusters of mushrooms would cost me at least 70dollars at my LFS.
anyways, phew..thanks for reading. it's been a long day.
oh yeah..my LFS told me to go with 1inch substrate..and not go with the DSB. any ideas? but that's when i had the wet/dry filter..... *thumbsupsmiley*
