Ha! Soap opera's eh? Lol, no soap opera's for this girl Oh man idk what I would do with 2 days off! Last night I sat and thought about what it would be like when I only have to do 1 or 2 wc's a week, Im so used to doing it everyday!

Its just fun to sit back and watch, when you don't have to work on it.

Tiger Stripe Rock? Here is the link eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices I really wanted to do dark but this is a better deal than buying from the lfs, they want $2.00 per pound. I may order this too! Purple Slate Aquarium Stone- Cave Kit- Large Pile Sale! | eBay

Those are very nice

Thanks! I had a hard time choosing! I wanted to start with the thinner ones because i thought I'd get more pieces to build with, the purple ones looked chunkier... I'm afraid all the light colors and the white sand will wash my fishes out. I have a black background, thinking of getting some black blasting sand to mix with the white

So, I'm on day 3 of boiling this Mopani and its still releasing TONS of tannins :/ I wanna get that sucker in the tank! Found a fishstore about 25 min away n rode over there today... They had a pretty bad case if ich in about 40% of they're tanks bummer deal but I picked up a couple more cichlid stones so I didn't leave empty handed lol. Fish are happy today and begged for food at feeding time It's the only time they come to the top of the tank! Can't wait for my box o' rocks comes in the mail, bought some aquarium silicone so I can get to building! They will b sooo much happier when I can get em some more hiding spots

 

[Jess1ca]

2 weeks in parameters have not budged. Gonna do a wc and do another test.... Gonna need to purchase another test kit soon, I'm a little obsessive with my testing lol.

Also this Mopani is gonna be the death of me lol, it has turned my house into a sauna! So muggy in here!
