    Banggai Cardinals Spawned

    Thanks Mike, I do feed daily and tonight the male did not eat - his head does not look as swollen as it did before. I think I would have a hell of a time trying to net this pair, I know when I took my tank down for the upgrade they were the last to be caught after all the rock was removed that...

    If money was no object

    We wouldn't enjoy this hobby as much as we do because there would be no challenges with what we have to work with in our tanks, see the million dollor tanks on the internet I bet the owners don't know a thing about this hobby. But then on the other hand to dream - and yah this thread is really old.

    Hey Shawn I have a question about the 8Way OM with the 8 outlets - that gets hooked up to the discharge of your CL pump where do you hook the inlet to your sump or in the main tank - does there have to be a hole in the DT for it as well.

    PUPPIES! There are being born right now!

    They are so cute, I was just trying to cheer you up after the dog fought, it is pretty scary when two big dogs go at it. We want pictures everyday, I was a bit confused about the final count so there are 10 puppies - so my final ratio is 6 boys and 5 girls. You take care Flower!!!!
