Im in lynnwood. The best ones ive been to (my criteria is basically cleanliness, selection, and customer service) are on the eastside (bellevue and renton) i got a majority of my corals from seattle corals the guy who runs it is pretty awesome. Most times a trip to the LFS or NSLFS (not so local fish store) is a secret mission haha better to ask for forgiveness than permission right?
Haha that is exactly what I thought too! I was asked by a friend if I was just looking for a starter tank or a dream tank. I of course said starter...and then went CRAZY!
OMG it is like you KNOW me! It took awhile for me to realize I don't need an $800 mushroom because THAT will be the one that melts away never to be seen again! DON'T GET SUCKED INTO IT!
Hahahahaha ohh noooo!!!!!! That really sucks. Sorry to hear that. Thanks for the tip. I dont think i could bring myself to spend 800 on a frag and if it melted away id cry myself to sleep too many nights. Lots of boogers and tears on that pillow case. Lol
Using my dos strictly for water changes right now. Saves so much time and shows me to enjoy my tank more. Currently looking to add another for 2 part with a trident.
Amazing what time does !Alright heres an update. Since my last post my tank has gone through many transformations. Took out my bubble magus curve and put a comline 9004 skimmer in the section where the water comes down from the over flow. I did this so the main section could be a refugium. My 2nd attempt at a refugium failed. So i scrapped that idea and just got a santa monica algae scrubber. Its about a month in an its working alright. I have a love hate relationship with my aquascape. I made it so there would be layered shelves but its so much rock its a little hard getting my hands in there to work. Especially when my clown is an a hole he attacks me lately when i stick my hands in. Ill save that knowledge for my next tank. I have a neptune dos i will be setting up soon and im in the process of figuring out a cabinet system for everything. Inhabitants are a fire shrimp, a bta(i think its a rainbow?)a pistol shrimp, a black clown with an orange head that wont go in the bta, and a rose goby. misc zoas/palys couple digitatas, trachy, couple montis, acans, misc mushrooms but my fav corals, a gold torch, a beautiful pinkish purple hammer, an og bounce mushroom(i got in an awesome trade) a joker torch and a sunkist bounce. Im missing a bunch but i dont want to bore anyone. Here is some progress pictures i have on my phone. Ill take more and post after i mount the ones on the frag plugs. Some of these pix are older and currently not how it sits. I had everything where i wanted then the bta took a stroll and in a panic i had to move some stuff around to save their souls lol. Thoughts? Complaints? Constructive critism? Ideas? Lmk
