Butchdawg's ballin 6 gal......and the fun has started ladies and gents

[Butchdawg14]

WOW.......so it has been a though road......but im now the fun has begun......

WARNING do not ever ship DHL...they suck....sorry if anyone likes DHL but it was not good for me. long story short.. I was suppose to get my tank on tues the 20th and didnt get it till late friday the 23rd cause they had no idea where my tank was....i call them about 7 times to try and track the tank.....GOOD NEWS i got my shipping charges refunded and the tank was good (no cracks).....so avoid DHL as much as possible......

So here is the start of my reefing career and yes i said career....since i have a 6 gal im going to get some corals and let them grow and then start selling them when they get to big...Ill be making a profit.....(my roomate said i will want another big tank but we will see)

so i tested my stuff (megabytes, kilobytes, and ammoina and all that junk) lol jj jj on the megabytes and stuff...

Ammiona(bad spelling)-2.41
NO2-1.2
NO3-20
PH-7.8
Salinity-1.023

now that is like spanish to me but my roomate said that the cycle is off to a good start and doing good so i listen to him and then wait wait wait till he says im good to put some coral and whatnot in there..

SO HERE IT IS

Just a scale of how big this ballin 6 gal is!!

Nice start. What are you planning on stocking?
I agree with DHL. I had LR shipped from south FL to panhandle FL 2 day and took 6. Needles to say the rock was in terrible condition.

[Butchdawg14]

FLric-I am not sure what i am going to stock in there......

i was think a clown goby or some kind of small fish....What do you think??

also i want some neon green candy canes im gettinga green leather from my roomate and then i dont know from there.... oh and also some zoa's....any suggestions??


Advice- thanks it should be fun...

well I'm a personal fan of the shrimp goby/pistol shrimp combo, so that's what I would do. Some ricordia would probably be pretty cool as well.

 

[Butchdawg14]

yea i was thinking about that....i was reading about their relationship and it sounded pretty cool....

Very nice set-up!

I am STILL convinced DHL was made up by the Athens Olympics as some kind of a weird conspiracy. Think about it. You never saw commercials for DHL until the Athens Olympics.... not one. Then, all of a sudden, hundreds of commercials a day, all over every channel, taking over my brain.... er.... tv.

Personally, I love FedEx (check out their logo for one of the slickest use of negative space EVAH!), but I've never tried to ship any form of livestock through them. =/

Shameless plug on the pic of your significant other and yourself.

 

[Butchdawg14]

Where did you purchase those lights?

 

[Butchdawg14]

i got them with the tank that was a whole setup that came together the tank, pump,filter, and lights......look at cadlights.com and see if they have just the light, if you are looking for just the lights
