Got Stomatopod?

[scubajim]

ok got the tank plumbed, light hung sand in and some live rock. I still need some more live rock and maybe some sand.

 

[Nuuze]

Wow, the depth looks cool!

The water surface seems a bit close to the top though.

 

[scubajim]

yeah i know. It does look kinda scary. But it shouldn't be a problem as the overflow is most of the back panel so it would be hard to plug. I'll just have to be extra careful not to make waves when i'm cleanin the sides.

Looks great Jim

 

[BodiBuilt]

Wow! I love the X-Tra wide depth to the tank! I have a chunck-o-rock that might fit in there!... but then your tank would be full! (lol)... : )

 

[scubajim]

thanks guys. Yeah i don't want too much rock. I wanna try to keep it open.

 

[BodiBuilt]

If all goes well, tomorrow will bring many new peacock specimens to choose from! I can hardly wait!
It look's like I'm the last one to get a tank set up... (lol) but it is finally holding/cycling water and sand! (although far from done)...
On the brighter side, I picked up a couple nice sized "critter cage's" like the one's used to transport live mice or crickets...made of clear plastic with snap on ventilated top... I figure if my new setup is not quite ready when we order I can keep specimens (temporarily) in these containers in one of my well established tanks.

 

[kdblove_99]

I hope tomorrow is the day. I'm starting to get anxious

Update~
E-mail from Billy:
"Hello Dave,

No bother at all. We did not get what we ordered on this shipment. We got two, but they look a bit rough. We asked for 20. But they couldn't fill that many. So we are placing another order again for next week.

Thanks,

Billy Bachman
President
Stomatopod.com"

Any objections to waiting another week?....

 

[BodiBuilt]

Hey kdblove_99
Did you make that dough-nut shaped rock?

 

[kdblove_99]

Nah bought it like that. so someone made it. It is huge and that hole is also huge mantis should really like it

 

[scubajim]

i have no prob with waiting. But this shipment has already been delayed before. Are they goin to order from another vendor or just hope that vendor can find more peacocks?

 

[kdblove_99]

I have talked to Billy several times via email and i really think he is a really good guy and is doing everything he can to get us some peacocks.

I will stay with him. If other chose to go elsewhere i would understand

 

[BodiBuilt]

I'm not sure... but I'm starting to loose the air out of my "mantis baloon"!
lol...

Must...Have...Nice..Peacock.......!!!

 

[scubajim]

Everyday i pass by my tank and say " man that would look awesome with some clams in it" I'm just saying i don't know how long i can fight that urge, i am only human

 

[BodiBuilt]

Hey scubajim...
You should have built your stand three stories tall! Then you coulda' still had room for another tank!
(lol)...

 

[Nuuze]

Mine was completely full the other day until I started moving stuff into my other tank. Getting this one ready to quaratine for Saturdays swap.

 

[BodiBuilt]

Wow! Sweet Nuuze! Is it all "spoken for"? :eek1:
Your gonna put a Peacock in there?!?

 

[Nuuze]

Yeah, I just had all the acans/chalice/zoos/dendro there to quaratine for a couple days then moved it into my big tank. Will probably be full again Saturday after the frag swap.

 

[kdblove_99]

We can do the buy now if you guys want too? or we can wait and see what happens next monday and order after that no matter what?


If he still has and the emerald green one is doing good i am ready!
