Thanks woody My husband is a great guy, of course. He likes competitive shooting and rock climbing, but he's not a "macho" type. We have 2 little girls and he's a terrific dad! We've been together forever and I just can't figure out a great way to say, "I love you, I'm proud of the person you...

Okay, this is way off topic, but this is the busiest place I know of to ask: What do men want for Valentine's day from their wives (aside from the obvious)? Any good ideas?? claire:help:

:confused: Help! What do men want for Valentine's Day? Okay, besides that! Men: What would you like your wife to give you? Women: Any good ideas? What are you doing for V. day? Thanks! claire

Welcome, KY! What part of the state are you in? I'm in Jeffersonville, IN - just across the river from Louisville. I also recently started my 29g (about 4 weeks now). Right now I have about 29 lbs. LR, 2" sand (live and aragonite), and a clean-up crew in the tank. My crew includes a cleaner...

:help: Anyone?

:notsure: Just put a feather duster into my tank and my peppermint shrimp won't leave it alone. He seems to be picking at it or trying to clean it? Is this a normal behavior? The duster just keeps pulling its crown in and I keep shoeing the shrimp away - 'course that won't last long! Should...

Welcome to the boards, Fishingaround! I'm pretty new myself, so I don't know if I can be much help, but there are a lot of really helpful people here! It must be exciting to get a 125 (I'm starting with 29). It's great that you're planning to start with LR and LS. I've heard some negative...

Thanks, all! I did the 1/2 cup per g. Afterwards, I checked and the hydrometer (I know, they're junk - I just proved it!) kept saying it was way too salty. Finally I took a sample to the LFS for them to test. Anyway, I think I'm back on track now. I did go ahead and add my rock (live and...

don't know the brand..I'm starting to think that I should just return it to LFS and buy IO claire

Thanks JacknJill! I just saw your reply! :yes: claire

:thinking: So...somewhere between 1/2 c and 1 and 1/2 c per gallon? The salt that my LFS sold me is ina clear plastic bag and only says "not for resale" on the bag. I know, it's probably cheap stuff that's not the best. Any advice?

:notsure: I've got my new tank filled with ro water that is coming up to temp. Almost ready to add the salt. Here's my question...How much salt do I start with? I know that I'll need to check the salinity, but are there any suggestions like so much per gallon? I have a 29g and as a newbie...

mkcsil18: I'm brand new to this too, so I don't usually offer advice. I do know, though, that you can add shelled cocktail shrimp from the supermarket. HTH claire :D

Thanks for the tips, newreefer! I'm really looking forward to the trip. The group from my local dive shop goes every year and it's pretty affordable. My husband "gave" me the trip as a Christmas present. I know that we're going to snorkel with the manatees. I can't wait to see the momma's...

:joy: Thanks, betacrash!

Thank goodness my tank hasn't cycled yet! Merry Christmas all!

:D Cool trips! Okay, I am green with envy, but enjoy!

Here they're saying anywhere from 0 to -12!! Santa's gonna freeze his (insert name of body part) off! I would too if I had any.:D

:nervous: Stop tempting me!! Can I help it if I have an obsessive personality!hehe
