Store got a baby aussie tusk in today... Ahhhhhh!!!! Im sooo mad my tank isnt ready

Mine is! How much?? Lol

 

[huma-huma]

149.99 normally but 119 for me

 

[Kio707]

Buddy... Lol... So how much more on the tank? Any progress?

 

[huma-huma]

Why yes theres been progress!! I ordered my Aqua-c rv120 skimmer!! Cant wait for it to come in

 

[huma-huma]

Photo of skimmer, normally i would have tried to get ahold of a cone skimmer or needle-wheel venturi but i ran across the Aqua-c skimmers and really liked the tech behind it. Heres to hoping it works as good as it says

 

[Kio707]

I have one. Hardest thing is to get the top off... Lol. Seems to stick to the foam like gasket it has. Other then that, no complaints.

 

[huma-huma]

Does it really skim out a ton of waste?? I heard its supposed to be pretty decent

Welcome aboard ninja! Might get a bit lively around here due to my child-like fish obsession.

Im attempting to order my refugium but its being difficult( ugh). I did finally decide on the Precision Marine R30 refugium. Hopefully all this stuff gets here and quick!!

Oh I know the feeling.
I'm actually planning a 100gallon reef in the next few months, so I've been taking notes on any larger saltwater tanks going up lately.
Can't wait to see what you do with yours!

 

[huma-huma]

Lol dont take notes from me. Im strictly a fowlr salty with a focus on Lionfish lol. The first trip around was a def learning experience and a blast. Who knows whats in store this time. I am however slightly sad because my boss wanted to give me a handful of cabbage corals today and i coukdnt take them(

 

[coffeetwitch]

how soon before this tank has water in it? how big is that aussie tusk at the store?

 

[huma-huma]

Within a week bud. I cancelled my skimmer and refugium order, figured i can get something similar for cheaper

 

[coffeetwitch]

with in a week? moving right along then arent you? glad to hear it. hate the waiting game we have to play with saltwater.

Well there's more than just the reef to take notes of, filtration, aqua shaping, water, and many other factors that are different on a larger scale.
So I'll stick along

 

[huma-huma]

Jesse, you know how impatient i am. My boss let me seed my rok in our purple coralline aquaculture tanks at work and hes already said hes giving me some established filter floss so im guessing that my "cycle" is gonna be either extremely short or non existant lol

 

[coffeetwitch]

ha cool cool.

 

[huma-huma]

Sooo remember that rock i had seeding?? Yeah my boss accidentally sold one piece 0_o its ok though because he gave me a piece absolutely covered in royal purple coralline

 

[coffeetwitch]

as long as it works out right?

 

[Zactheninja]

Sold one piece...that's normal? 0.0
That coralline piece should help you along though!
