Im getting my tang!

[Andrew]

I might get him today or tommrow.

[marinelife]

what kind

[Andrew]

Convict or kole. Im going to the lfs that carson works at. Like 45 minutes away.

[redpyro]

i wish i had room for a tang. :( pitty me people :(

[Slicktrax]

no pity from me, your corals are too nice looking

[Andrew]

^pity on you? You have a 300 gallon tank!

[redpyro]

300 gallon tank? what are you smoking i have a 55 gallon tank

[Andrew]

I was refering to Slicktrax.

[redpyro]

WHAT!!!! you have a 300 gallon, i must have missed that...now thats a load of crap

[Slicktrax]

i was refering to red wanting pity for only having a 55. his corals are too nice looking. yeah i do have 300, so dont pity me ;)

[redpyro]

the only time i see a 300 around me is when i die maybe my life insurance could afford one, then they could busy me in it instead of a casket

[Slicktrax]

watch the used equipment section on RC, you can pick up a great deal every now and then. i watched for about three months and found this one for $500. it had a sump, pump, about 1 1/2 trash cans of base rock, uv sterilizer, stand, and a 72" vho strip light. its a little scratched up, but hey, it still looks pretty good.

[Slicktrax]

and it will probably serve as my casket too.

[redpyro]

i could save up for the tank but couldnt afford to run it, lets see new electrical wiring and fuse panel $2000, 300 gallon tank every evertyhing to run it $2000 (used if i was lucky) $1000 for stank canapoy or materials for fish room build, monthly electric bill $300, monthly hobby stocking $200, addatives and the such per month $100, and the topper money doesnt grow on trees...priceless

[Andrew]

ok. I think im leaving to get the tang soon.

[Andrew]

ok. I might not be going today but i got my background up

[Slicktrax]

whats in the gerbil box on the left?

[Andrew]

damsle. Hes going to Gerbers when i get the tang.

[Slicktrax]

ah, i should have done something like that for my eel.

[Andrew]

uhh? Hes been in there because i finaly caught him and dont want him in the tank and have no where else to put him.

[Slicktrax]

i did the same thing with my eel, didnt want him, but put him in the sump. he tried to swim up the return pipe and didnt survive.

[Andrew]

opps. Thats not a good thing. what type of eel was it?

[Slicktrax]

chainlink, he decided that the new shrimp i added would be good food, so he had to go anyway. i just would have rather traded him or sold him.

[Micki]

And I just filled my 55 in hopes of getting him!!! UGH! :D

[Andrew]

Once my dad gets home im going to see if he will take me.

[bigfalcon36]

[Andrew]

I didnt have enough time to go to Gerbers before they closed so i had to go to Jacks. I got a kole tang. Hes about 3-4''

when ever i name something it dies so....... :D

[Micki]

I like kole's too.

[Andrew]

Hes an active thing. It took them forvever to get out of the tank at Jacks.

[Micki]

After he is in just shut the lights for the night and let him settle in.

[Andrew]

Yea. I covered the bucket hes in now with a towel.

[Micki]

Are you leaving him in a buckey all night???

[Andrew]

no. Hes in the tank. He loved it. Hes swimming through the rocks. Hes eating the algea on the sand and the glass now.

[Micki]

Awesome! Glad to hear it!

[Andrew]

I put some algea on a clip for him. Heres him getting some algea off the sand. Hes moves to fast to get good pictures. I had to use flash but here he is:

[marinelife]

[Micki]

Very Nice...

[Andrew]

Well the tang is doing good. He eats like a pig. Right now hes eating sheet algea and flake food. All my fish like the flake food i had. My other 2 tangs and grouper i had loved it too.

[Absint Reefer]

what kind of grouper do you have

[Andrew]

panther. He died to ich over a year ago.

[Absint Reefer]

that sucks, are you still going to put an angler in your reef

[Andrew]

I might but im going to have my clownfish in there and i dont want an angler to get him cause ive had the clown for a year now.

[Absint Reefer]

dude my angler died :(
