hey you are an empty tanker rt now too:p

 

[Erin O]

I'm looking at this
https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petco...e-substrates/caribsea-aragonite-aquarium-sandOtherwise, I may have to just get the oolite and try to avoid too much flow hitting it.

 

[Erin O]

Thats different for what they show for me...unless it changed in the last 2 hours... was showing 18 something at chewy and petco, 20 and change at petsmart.
You could look at getting dry sand for it, its cheaper and you get more sand for a lower weight, 15lbs dry is more sand than 20lbs of wet. Just have to rinse good before putting it in tank. Since you will be receiving live rock the bacterial cycle won't be too bad going this route.

I typed the original price instead of the sale price, in case it went up for some reason lol

no oolite ,fish will cloud tank w 1 burrow coat everything

Thank you, Simon! Not to sound too girly, but EEEK! I'm so excited!!!

@sfin52, it might be starting to feel real now LOL

You are more than welcome, the family will enjoy watching this happen let alone us! ;)

Let's just say, he's been showing interest. I've been showing him some of the pics you, @najer, @Dolelo96 and a few others have posted of your corals and he's been asking a few questions. He said that the clowns that @fishguy242 posted look unique and fun. We're getting closer to hooking him, you guys! I can feel it! Lol!

In 1 yr you'll have that 75 up. Your hubby is going to want different fish and more coral.

29g will be a nice tank. The 75 will be a family project. Like @Katrina71 and Andrew

I love the thought of this! I'm hoping that my husband really gets into the coral aspect of reefing. There are so many different kinds and I think he'd enjoy researching them and figuring out which would do best in our tank

Yep that would be really cool

 

[sfin52]

I hope he will too

Ok, I may have a problem. Last night, I had a dream that @fishguy242 posted a video of him catching each of his clowns so I could see them. They were WAY bigger than clownfish actually are and they had the cutest little noses. Do you think this means that I'm starting to obsess about this tank? Lol

 

[fishguy242]
