been a while

Post by booger12 »

its been a while since i posted on this forums
ive done a few updates on my tank
Image
So i started with something simple
Image
got bored tried to make a cave for them to "hangout" in but it never worked they didnt even go through it
Image
so i ended up with this a little more rocks a few more plants aswell

i kinda went over board and bought 2 filters and a protein skimmer for my filtration im planning on buying http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ct ... lia1400gph
im not sure if i buy 2 or if one will be ok

its sad to say but ill probably only have these guys for a week maybe 2weeks longer since i really dont like the "just Brackish" water i am just unable to find any brackish fish. so im turning it into a full marine tank. Dont worry my 2 little guys are going to a good home

ill update my tank once its full marine

anyways thanks for taking a look if anyone knows anythign about those power heads it will be much aprechiated

It makes a current.
"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."
