im going 2 go 2 petco and pick one up but the one thing i cant find out here is a drip aclimator

 

[carey]

You can make one with extra airline tubing.

 

[Epuerto]

i dont have any long enoughi going 2 have 2 order a aclimator

 

[carey]

Well you should be going out today for that ammonia test kit, so just pick up some airline tubing. Heck of alot cheaper than buying those premade ones.

 

[Epuerto]

lol i looked some up and their like 5 bucks

 

[carey]

Really? The one I saw was $40. hey if you can get it, go for it. Just make sure you get to petco today, we need to know your water parameters, including ammonia.

 

[Epuerto]

I ordered my aclimator from dr fosters an smith for like $2. An ammonia tester of some kind is def needed. I'm also interested in how you will aquascape your tank, I had a tough time deciding on my 75(still not satisfied). Corner tanks seem like a whole other beast. Good luck an keep posting pics!!

That is exactly my problem i am so confused on what i want 2 do i wana try starting high in the back and slowly getting smaller like the shape of a U with the bottom of the U being the back of the tank tell me what you think

You've got plenty of time to get it the way you want. I just yanked out every rock I had yesterday to get my anenome out so I re-did my tank. LOL It's easier before you get fish so work on it now.

[Epuerto]

The sand didnt come today even though usps said it would (bummer) but i was productive and moved my battery backup supply into the stand and made the wiring more inconspicuous. the sand better be here tommorow or ill be mad lol

Haha! I bet! I'm glad you said you liked the look of the lights because that's what I'm getting tommarrow! Except mine is 36". Ohh dear god I can't wait! I want my dam rock to cycle so I can finalize the rock scape and start adding corals!!! HURRY UP!
