180g Starphire A.G.E on its way!

I hear ya. But the tangs will be tough to hold back on. Of course I don't want dead fish either. What did you start with for livestock? I'm thinking Green or Blue Reef Chromis and eventually a half dozen Anthias some months down the road.

My 1st fish? A desjardini tang. haha. I should follow my own advice, but my wife REALLY wanted to get me a fish on my birthday...like I told you, priorities first! My tank had *just* finished cycling. I would have liked to wait at least another month to add livestock, but that's what she wanted to do for me.

 

[paulthomas]

Mmm Hmm. Yes, wives do make nice scapegoats, don't they? Mine wants a PBT, so we'll see.

 

[cbui2]

your wife is so nice tbone? give me the special ingredient for wifey to be that nice... i added a PBT 1 month after setting display up and wasn't a good idea, should have waited at least 4 months for water parameters to be stable. also an aggressive fish

 

[paulthomas]

cbui2,

I'm going to take my time with stocking.

How is your set-up doing? Sorry to have heard you had problems early on. Amazing build though!

Paul

 

[cbui2]

[paulthomas]

let her have the kitchen she wants expensive investment for some fish if you ask me :lol:

 

[cbui2]

not a bad trade, considering the commercial kitchen display you have . you can start a restaurant business from home

 

[tbone28]

haha, with our cooking, we'd quickly go out of business :lol:

 

[cbui2]

maybe some advice from brother anthony might help

restaurant business is not good right now since the economy is down and no one want to spend $50 to eat out. Coffee shop is better since people willing to spend $5 for a cup of coffee.

I was initially told 4 weeks, but it ended up being 6 weeks with my LFS asking for updates. I've heard where some people have waited much longer.

Tom is a great guy to work with, but he runs a small company, so he can get backed up at times. No matter how long the wait, I think it's TOTALLY worth the wait with the product you get.

 

[CMcNeil]

thank you,i agree about the wait being worth it.wonderful tank BTW :thumbsup:

 

[tbone28]

Thanks. When will you be joing the club?

 

[CMcNeil]

waiting on a price from the dealer,i think ill find out how much tomorrow.im looking into a 32"x32"x16" rimless starphire.

 

[tbone28]

That will be sweet! I love cubes. No need to wait, decision's been made

 

[CMcNeil]

yeah i know,i just want to know how much first but i know im getting it lol.
