I've gotten one shrimp before.
"can I get one shrimp?"
"you mean one pound?"
"no, one each please."
"um, I don't know how to ring that up. You sure just one?"
"and 3 each bay scallops please.'

fun times.
they always look around like they think they're being video taped...

So the other day I drained the 20 and have gotten six of the nine pallifina rehomed. Of course Bloo is still here(and holding, what a good boy). I moved the tank and stand out of the way in anticipation of the person picking it and the final threeup, Monday. I messaged asking if we were still on? They explained they had a blow out and that he’d have to borrow wifeys truck. Ok I get it that happens. So in a bucket they go for the night. Yesterday I messaged again, asking about what time they’d be by. And was told then that their wife was a bit upset about another tank. So I asked if he was passing on it and he said that yes he should. I’m a bit miffed at the lack of communication. Should have let me know when his wife said so, and when he had the blowout. I had explained in the club that the tank had to be taken down due to possible leakage that I was uncomfortable with risking any longer.

So yesterday I messaged the second person. Who wanted to know if the stand would fit in his jeep. I gave measurements, and it probably won’t. So his response was “lemme make some calls.” Crickets. Finally the three are still in a bucket, with a heater. I have someone supposed to get a heater for their 56 gallon and grab them whenever that happens. But I guess when I get home I’ll bring the spare 10 reptile tank in, toss it in the floor and floor it for them.

This tank is cursed lol.

Through my boredom and anticipation of wanting to upgrade for the macs, I took some very expensive oversized art paper(because why not) measured and cut the size of the tank and stand (Eden 20) and now think that if I’m saving up I may as well save for the 30 because 10 extra gallons but also it would fit better?

Idk. Thoughts? To be fair 20 would be plenty for the macs. But it will be a bit… well I took pics so what y’all’s thoughts? I’ll measure and waste more paper for the 30 this afternoon cause I literally have nothing better to do with my time.

I can understand about the tank for sure but the stands not bad. I think it’s a top fin but it looks pretty nice as far as particleboard goes.

The past few days I’ve not been able to do much with the tanks, as I’ve been waiting for people to pick up thugs or have to run to the store. So this morning I used my flashlight to peel in and see how everyone is in the 35. Zoa rock looks good. (Is it zoas? Palythoas? Whatever lol) the encruster above looks good. The new euphilia seems ok. BTA is slumbering in the barnacle. The teeny one is under said barnacle. Rock flowers look fine. Toadstool looks dead still. Then the single zoa frag looks fluffy at the base. Hymn. I’ve no idea what this is. I snapped a couple pics with the phone but had to leave because of the time. So, thoughts?

Welcome to my waterbox adventure!

Many of you know I won the newest @Waterbox Aquariums contest: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/the-waterbox-70-2-reef-system-giveaway-ahhh-yea.635666/ I am beyond shocked that I won and even more excited to begin this adventure. This will be my new tank build thread, in which I will edit my taggy thing above for this one.

My first plans are to locate the perfect spot. I don’t want it where the 60 was; the floor is a bit weak there with no plans in the near enough future to replace and once this goes up I’d rather not move it. So this gives me the living room. I will be measuring pros and cons of both potential spots. I am thinking of painting a mural behind the spot before it arrives.

Thanks to @RichtheReefer21 for the name suggestion! Anyhow, stay tuned! I am sure I’ll have a tons of questions, and photos to share.
I always wanted to make that saying true. If I ever had a girl I would name her Luck. Then Luck would definitely be a Lady.
