[jam1e]

woa, very similiar situation here, not selling anything but found my old tank (the exact same one as yours) in my garage. I set it up yesterday and bought 13lbs of live rock and 15lbs of live sand. waiting for the cycle and still trying to decide on a stocklist I'll post a pic in a minute, I started a thread about suggestions for the tank too.

SOOOO i finnally got some life WOOHOO my tiny arse sexy shrimp,, there are 2 so far, there are going to be 3 eventually, lol. Well i have alot of life in the tank i should say, i fed everything a half of a cube of marine cuisine this morning and man do i have hundreds of little tiny bristle worms, so crazy....and my corals ate most of it of course...
Had 3 hours of homework from my accounting class (i forgot how hard school really is, lol) so thats why there is one TINY picture,,, didnt want t try and break out my husbands nice camera when the lights are about to go out,,,,
