I was happy with everyones sales. I did a little shopping all over J&L, OA, Big Als,and blue world.

blue world?

I did pick up a bag of sand and a sailfin tang from Elite :) Alas, nothing I wnted at Golds and I didn't feel like going to the other staores as I had my Parents in tow. (They are in visiting for the holidays from Quallicum Beach)

Visited J&L 3 times, BA once & King Ed's twice.

Ended up with livestock:

lg. green Blasto merletti
lg. red with orange rim Blasto wellsi
lg. blue-green Scolymia donut
lg. green Pearl bubble

2 feather dusters

1 Flameback angel
1 Royal gramma
1 Lubbock's wrasse
1 Mandarin goby
2 Yellow anthias (female squarespot)

We went to blue world and bought our emperor angel and lots of salt from big als for $30 and some sand.

oops :-) i guess i never caught the actual name.

I was going to get some of the salt online, but I really dislike IO. I have had problems with it, most likely rectified now but burned once is enough.

I can beat that list....I bought...well it was only in my head...I really need to get my tank going. I am interested in seeing the Reefkeeper 3..er reefkeeper elite though. Supposed to be quite spiffy when released.

Never bring your wife fish shopping unless she is like mine
 

So I made the suggestion to my wife who is completely in love with our
new 210 gallon reef tank that we go to J&L and pick up some fish for the new tank that has been running for a week. Now this could have been a good thing. Pick up a couple fish maybe one or two corals for the tank. Instead it was very, very bad. And below is a list of the end result.

20 green chromis
1 flame angel
3 lyretail anthias
4 banggai cardinals
1 mandarin goby
2 purple firefish
3 yellow tangs
1 six line wrasse
2 sexy shrimp
2 cleaner shrimp
1 maxima clam
1 orange monti digitata
1 green monti digitata
1 green star polyps
1 yellow leather


Total damage after 30% off

482.79$

I should point out at this point that the tank was seeded with arag alive from carib sea, already matured media in my FB 900 fluidized bed filter and I am using a large canister filter from another tank I am renovating that has been running for god knows how long. So hopefully bio shock will be low.

Lesson learned : Next year think twice befor bringing my wife shopping with me for fish. As she tends to want to go overboard just a little or maybe alot, you be the judge.

My tank is listed in the tank journal if any one wants to look.

Thanx
