my new baby... AKA The Café

[Eagle_Steve]

Ahh I just asked on yours but I caught up over here. Always worth it regardless. They never skimp on what they send. I remember my first order and being blown away by the size of some of the things I got compared to other vendors.

I see they're on vacation now... I need to place another gorg stocking order when they're back.

I answered over there lol.

But in regards to vacation, by the time I got everything in the cart and ready to order, it was past the deadline by a few hours.

I called Russ and he said no worries and got it packaged and shipped that day. That is what I call customer service.

Even if it had to wait until they were back, I would have been cool with it. Been awhile since he has had time off, so he needed it for sure lol.

Alright folks. Need some opinions.

I have to go get more sand. This is for the 7’ macro tank. Currently there is not much sand in it.

Should I get black sand or white sand?

I can get black sand with no metal or leeching, so think purely from an aesthetic stand point.

Tank will be all gorgs and macros of all colors. There will also be tons of branching coralline here and there.

I am leaning towards black for looks, even though this is a grow out. Still can look pretty, right?

I do have a worry with black sand, as white should reflect some light onto the bottom sides of the macro.

This is where I am torn lol.

Tough call, I'm no help. I have black in the 4g pico and white in the other two. It's a nice change to have the one different.

I am just thinking it will make the red and blue stick out so much more. But then the white will let me see how much algae is actually growing on the sand and reflect some light back up to the plants.

Decisions like this suck lol.

I, for once, actually left it alone. Put in a huggy bear gif and the left it lol. Wanted to say so much more, but was actually a big boy that time and took a higher road lol.

Dude I missed it completely... If you were sidestepping the fun, could have at least tagged a homie in!

I plead the 5th. As usual, since I order form them a lot, there are some extras.

Don’t ask, don’t tell policy lol

This reminds me of house parties were the sliding glass door was closed , it was miserable fun lol

Black sand full send , how often do you use white sand vs black? It would really bring out color

Teaser. No qty yet. You will have to see the massive amount of bags being floated lol.

Party in the Tubs!!!!!

Some of us were in the midst of the fun even after trying to stay out... I even got a personal political assessment for trying to draw usefulness or intent from the thread! (Oh, the irony in context with that specific thread!)

I do wish that had not been the reason the thread got closed (though it probably would have been closed anyways based on where it was headed), since there is usefulness in such a discussion about avoiding typical social media issues here on R2R.

P.S. I'll try to remember to tag you along for the ride next time!

If you go to the internet looking for a fight, someone will always help you find it

I agree ^ I’m ashamed but in my teens I did that once or twice

If you go to the internet trying to help avoid fights, someone will always help you find it anyhow! ;Dead

Though I still dislike fights of any sort and try to avoid them, I'm not afraid to hold my own in an online discussion if my intentions are misinterpreted. I just wish I knew better how to actually help the situations (even when my intuition is that it is already bound to be hopeless).

Got an emf meter today, for reasons, the tank puts out more than anything else in the house that runs constantly.
