  1. Nope, water change and carbon should do it.
  2. How long was the acclimation period?
  3. From my understanding it appears photos need to go in 2 different spots. A build log and somewhere else right? Also the 1 picture a month does not specify having water or even being a FTS. "Each participant will be responsible for a build log (min 3 photos) as well as photos at the beginning of each month (min 1)." Edit... I guess it's this piece your talking about in the Livestock section "All tanks must be set up no later than February 15th, and no sooner than January 15th."
  4. Not ready to put water in my system. Still waiting on a main display piece for my tank. Does that disqualify me?
  5. Decided not to do 2 47g talls side by side and buy a rimless. Too bad I have to wait 3-4 months for it.

      Oops, gave you the big tank itch aye?

  6. I use the modified durso standpipe method for my HOB overflow. When I was running an under rated pump I would just close one pipe so I know it'll work in your instance.
  7. How about you let me use your credit card to clean my glass as well?
  8. BRS GroupBuy with free shipping ordering tomorrow. For south austin pickup or if it's a small item can be picked up at duval and mopac.

  9. Why did I have to walk into RCA when they just got a huge shipment in?

      Ha! She hasn't seen the new fish yet but he's kinda hard to miss.

  10. Be on the lookout for my friend Tyler on here soon. I set him up with the 60g cube that Mr.Cob was selling!

      Welcome Tyler!... wherever you are..

  11. So if tank budget is $150 and equipment budget is $150 then I can spend $300 on equipment with the tank fund going to slush if tank was free? Same thing with livestock. If I don't want to put any fish in my tank but want to get some really expensive corals I can move the $100 livestock fund into the $150 coral fund as a coral slush fund of $250?
  12. Mag 12 just arrived and on a holiday!

  13. I originally thought of doing a comic themed tank as well but going the DC route. I'll be tuned in to see how this ends up. Just be carefull with dosing in that small of a tank. Too much gamma in such a small area could have everything green real fast.
  14. This has been a long week with a lot accomplished. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

  15. Don't know if this was covered but is there a problem if I don't put water in my tank the first month? I'm still waiting on stuff to come in the mail and more money as well since i had to get another return pump for my current tank. I can post pics within the first month of my progress but really haven't decided what's officially going in the tank yet until I can collect from the tax man.
  16. I won my ebay auction for $30 less than what I was willing to spend on something for my pico!

      SWEET! whatcha get?

  17. I agree with this Ditto Kim, I think this applied to equiptment as well. If you buy an HOB filter and are able to sell it then you can deduct the sales price from the total. If you cannot sell it then I would assume you have to add it to your total since it would be considered a backup. Think there was another example of this earlier on as well.
  18. Walmart almost always has it in their canning section
  19. I can do cold, I can do rain, but I can't do cold rain!

      Our gas is off at the moment due to a gas leak at our neighbors house. My shower this morning was brief and painful. So I feel ya.

  20. Just bought a heater and black sand the other day but other than that I will be pulling water and rock from my sump as well as microfauna. Still undecided exactly what I will stock in here though but I have to fight myself not to buy those awesome dwarf seahorses Bio is putting in his tank.
  21. Just thought I'd post here since I am hosting a build your own nano rockwall at my house if anyone is interested. Also is it ok to start buying equiptment?
  22. I started my tank 3 years ago as a FOWLR. I did so much reading and started my tank on a budget with just buying sand and salt and filling with tap water. After my tank cycled then I bought 80lb LR off of craigslist for $2/lb. Then pumps Then lights and so on until now I'm adding a twin tank It basically comes down to exactly what you want but you will always miss the boat because there are hundreds of thousands of different tank designs and unless money is no object then you can't have them all.
