I met bigmayreefer at GWA last night and he gave me the 29g tank, sump, stand, sand, and some LR. Thank you Mason! I met Kathy the clownfish lady and she gave GWA two clowns to hold till the tank is ready. Thanks Kathy! I purchased a return pump using the donated gift cards. Thank you everyone who donated gift cards! (Hobbes8017, PaulB, MPcart, panaboy95, Dert42, and cosmo kramer). I picked up a box of misc. items ie. seios, thermometer, HOB filter, GFI, ect... Thank you Rena, PaulB, and JxMetal! I am very sorry if I have left anyone out.
So Brooke now has the tank in the living room. It only has a little water in it with the sand and a little live rock and a seio aerating it. Brooke was asleep when I got home last night, and I thought she was gonna be a little disappointed that I didn't have everything set up and looking good. When she woke up and saw it she giggled and said "wow, I can't believe I finally have my own fish tank". I'm thinking if this is making her happy, wait till she sees it completed!
Today I am going to add the rest of the salt water and get the water circulating to the sump.I need to put in a heater and try to get more LR. There were some others her were going to donate LR. If anyone still has some available please email or pm so we can arrange pickup. Steve (sirreal63) is giving some pc lights next week and I am going to start building a wood stand. I will keep everyone updated. Thanks.
