mFrame Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I had a great lunch-time visit to the Aqua-Dome this past Wednesday. If you haven't been by lately, check out their new equipment section! TrueLumen LED Strips and a Vortech display case They had in the first 6' LED strip lights that I'd ever seen (that's right, 6 feet)! Additionally they've been doing a LOT of work out back, and Gary wanted to be sure that everyone new that they have a large number of freshwater flowers for your ponds (Just in time for Easter). And somewhere along the way this little PomPom crab made it into my bag and followed me back to my pico at work. Adorable, isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Grog Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Digging the pom pom crab. Don't have one of those in my collection yet, but my tank is quickly turning into invert central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nwehrman Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Saw another pompom crab today when I was there! Very cute Nicole Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 They do have some very neat things in. I was impressed with the leds too! Great pics of the pond. I've been enjoying seeing the neat unusual fish upstairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqua-Dome Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 That is a jet gunnard and he is $24.99. Awesome fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Those fish are so awesome. I'd definitely have one if I had a big tank. I love to watch them when I stop by. Speaking of that, they just got a very nice assortment of corals in. I barely made it out of there without going broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bige Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Go now! They have lots of super nice coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilkerfish Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I bought some pond plants there probably a year or so ago and they're still going strong!!! Even survived the "cold" season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks Teri for the help today, what was that macro you sold me? I threw in a dose of that Nitrate Reducer hope it works....Im working on a sump right now so I might be in and out next few days...Also I have a friend trying to get rid of a prob at least 8in pleco can you take it? Store Credit if any? Whos gonna pick up those lookdowns in the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua-Dome Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Anytime, Drew! The macro is called chaetomorpha and should help, as well as the liquid reducer, to lower those nitrates. You can use an area of the sump as a refugium (just add light) and you can put the macro down there so the fish won't demolish it. I will be happy to re-home your friend's pleco, but unfortunately no credit since we usually have them for awhile... they love to eat! If I haven't said so already, thank you for your service to our country and for your business at our store!! T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua-Dome Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 BTW, I wish I could take home those lookdowns, they're so cool! They won't fit in my 29 biocube, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 awesome so i had the name right....My cousin wants to know if you have any frogspawn or ricorda prices? That hammer coral hunter sold them is doing great at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua-Dome Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Give Hunter a call, he'll let you know what's in stock and at what price. I'm off today, or I'd let you know myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Teri thank you for helping me out the past two days and getting my water quality back to ideal. Enjoying the Ocellaris Clownfish, and I'm very excited about my Bullet Goby (Sleeper Banded Goby). Will he possibly pair with my pistol shrimp? My Pink Spot hasn't taken a interest to him yet he is a little large though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua-Dome Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 You're welcome, anytime! I've never seen a bullet goby pair with a shrimp... You'll have to let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I might have to just catch that shrimp and bring him back to you. I have lots of peppermint, and the scarlet. My pink spot just isn't interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Monnat Jr Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Digging the pom pom crab. Don't have one of those in my collection yet, but my tank is quickly turning into invert central. +1 to that. The Sexy Shrimp started it. My wife really wants a Pom Pom, but in my 125g we'll probably never see it. At least all the Sexies hang out in plain sight on the anemones, feather dusters, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 So Hunters extraction process for the pistol shrimp did not work out so well, and I'm pretty sure he died in the sense that he wasnt moving, I havent seen him and I couldnt get him out of the rock. lol and not hunters fault or am I trying to blame him btw Do you have any pistol shrimps that will pair with my pink spot, Hunters thinks the one he sold me was a Atlantic Pistol...He was very dark maroonish and had a small big claw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Sorry, I took his rock that he tunneled in and put it in a container of fresh dechlorinated water he never came out immediatly like he was suppose to and after 30 minutes I put the rock back in the tank and figured I'd try again later...and I could see his lifeless tail sticking out. He was stuck in the tunnel, so I dont know if he tried to go out a different way and couldnt fit. I'm sure the sharp change in salinty killed him, but he was supposed to come out immediatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 So picked up a Tiger Pistol Shrimp today...Thanks Teri and Hunter I hope you got to finish your burger hunter if not I'll bring a warm one next week. I was thinking when you snatched that pistol shrimp if he said something along the lines of "**** you goby you were supposed to be looking out for me." He's still here are work with me 3pm-11pm I'll let you know if he finds his new best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Mendez WTR Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Still have not paired and we found our goby helping take down the biggest peppermint shrimp in our tank with a 6 line wrasse, blue damsel, and hawky the longnose hawkfish....good thing it wasnt the pistol shrimp I'm thinking maybe this goby is just too big to pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
