Thanks again Pat. We have him in our fuge because he is so small and in the 80 is a big toadfish. I was scared the toad would eat him so in the fuge he went until he gets bigger. Somehow he got into the section where the pump is. I moved him back into his spot and he blew up. When he blew up, he had a huge clear spot where i could see all his insides. I FREAKED out cause this is one of my favorite fish. Somehow he lost his skin and i dont know how. When he blew up he didnt get all the air out of him so thats what the bubble is. Inside the bubble is part of his insides.

2 of the boxes had sand Dennis. I'd say you'll get one or 2 boxes of sand. You got the 70g pkg, so you'll probably get 5 or 6 boxes total.

I was just looking thru the original "Name that thing" thread, and came across these pictures. They brought back a lot of nice memories. Look how much silt is all over these rocks. I never swished them or anything.

Yep...that's why you need a step stool or a chair in front of the tank to get it all in there nice and neat! Also, have your daughter help too being it is her school project.
Are you all excited???

I have a step stool right there all the time because I need it to see into the overflow. She will help too. I got her a pair of those pretty orange and blue gloves too.

That one was a full grown mama. I have lots more now, but they're all small compared to that one.

And lets never forget Jim's claw. I wonder where Jim has been? We haven't heard from him forever and a day.

Pat, where did you get those blue/orange gloves? Is that the gorilla crab pic they have on TBS bad hitchikers page?

Do you have a positive id on the worm. That looks like a worm I had but could never find after the first sighting.

I believe I got the gloves from Marine Depot...but other vendors sell them too.
Yes, that's the crab. The mantis is also on the TBS page. It's now Landon's mantis.

No I don't. Greenbean didn't think it was a good worm though. I hardly ever see worms like that anymore. Remember I used to have the orange worms too? I never see them anymore either.

Premium Aquatics sells them. Here is the link: http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merch...y_Code=Fishnet

Just about everyone sells those gloves.

Kevin, you're better off getting them from Premium aquatics than Marine Depot. They'll get to you right away because they're located in Indiana. Plus, they're super nice there too.
I didn't know about them at first and used to order everything from Marine Depot. Now I use different vendors.
Premium Aquatics will also match any online price you find. Just make a note in the comments section, and they'll adjust the price for you. You certainly can't go wrong with that kind of service!
