12 gallon

Post by Sponge bob »

Ok, Sorry I haven't been on, my report card from school came on Friday and I got punished.


Well today is the day.
First I'm going to get a ($20)API test kit, some (4)carbon and a ($??)reflector for my lights.
Then I'm getting some plants, 2 ottos and ($3.99)3 dwarf puffers and a frozen thing of blood worms.
I did a 75% W/C and I got new gravel, fine gravel some what bigger then sand. I took around 50% of the gravel out and I'm going to put the new gravel over it to dummy it up.
Today will be fun, I'll take pictures when I get it setup.

Don't wait too long between getting your fish, or you'll have to QT them.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi
