New From Va.

Well Va For Now..
Military family saying hello.

Not new to the tankworld, but the tank I do have is.
Last one..had a nice fall to the floor..
Needless to say I bought another tank asap. Meanwhile my five guppies and pelco lived in a plastic long (not tall) storage bin, which had the heater in it, filter running, and powerhead for air. All in my bathroom on the floor, what a sight to see.

Now my 36 gall bow front is cycling..with fish...I have a feeling it's going to take awhile..I don't get it. I have no patience and yet I own a fishtank.

anyways, now Im back to square one with buying and or updating equipment, not like I didn't or wasn't going to upgrade to a larger tank, but the way this ended up happening and how paychecks are twice a month..kind of, whats the word. Sucks.

Im loaded..literally with pepsi, ironic I like that. With a 5 week old ZzZzz'n for now and running off of 5 hours of sleep in two days.

I like my computer it lets me see the world without leaving the house, which for me is great. One car for a family doesn't cut it when its Military.

I love mac n cheese :p

so anyways. Hello! I'll get pics of my tank shortly when I feel it looks more.."clothed"

Need much more plants and taller ones..Driftwood for a center peice, light upgrade, re stock of chem's, eventually more fish..eventually. O yeah, and a stand since the tank is currently sitting on my dresser. Yeah, no time for a stand when we got the tank and no extra money.

Anyone know a good place for a nice 36 bowfront stand with plenty of storage space (that can be childproofed not to open!!) and is either black or dark in color, within a much reasonable price. No more than say 250? Dont need a canopy. Just stand.

Check craigslist, Hampton Roads listings. I think there was a stand like that listed recently? Can't remember exactly. If not, there are certainly a TON of great deals.
I go to school in the area and am looking for a cheap 10G...so I'm scouring craigslist a lot, lol.

There's supposed to be a GREAT fish store in VA Beach. Haven't been there sadly (no car = no travel ) but my friend is completely in love with it. Google "virginia beach fish store" and it's pretty easy to find.

Sweet. Thanks for the tips. I too have been searching Craigslist, actually I'm picking up a leather chair come the 16th this month :p and then selling the recliner we have. I have only ran across two fish add's neither of a stand for my big tank, there was one for a 20 gal if I remember right, stand, tank, light, hood, etc came with it all. Wish I kept the page would have gave it to ya.

Good fish store eh? I'll google it for sure. Been dying to see something else besides....Petsmart.

[darkmule27]

Sadly it has to be 10g but it certainly would've been appreciated nonetheless

hello! Nice tank, you should update the tank on the "view my tanks" since I noticed it was taken back in april of '08 I would love to see how much its grown and changed since then.
