im thinking i may give bio pellets a try for my new cube still undecided lol:P


i got a new light finally though!! lol

If you go with biopellets, get a recirculating reactor. I think there are only two on the market: Reef Dynamics and Cad Lights. The output is controllable, so it can be slowed to a trickle and increased gradually.

Got a look at the new cube in person today while you were out . . . Stunning!

Also if you could please, wait till I get a chance to respond to your pm to settle a disagreement. I have to get up a 4 in the morning for work and I do apologize if I don't wake up to respond to such an "urgent" matter.

yes it was my fault apparently i read it wrong, in all fairness your ad was easily mistaken and led me to believe i was getting 10 purple and 5 yellow

this is what it said...and quote

Ricordia purple - 10 (unmounted) Located above yellow ricordias
Ricordia yellow w blue rim 5 heads - $30 (unmounted)


so yeah like you mentioned in pm maybe a dollar sign would have been nice as i paid someone to go over and get them from you and i only got 5 shrooms....if i had of known that i wouldnt have bought them..


cheers!!

Proteus 10-16-2012 04:18 PM

I read it the same

reefwars 10-16-2012 04:21 PM

so did my roomate , i would never have bought just five shrooms and sent my roomate clear across town ,to me it wasnt worth it, i mean you put the dollar sign next to the yellows no??

sorry but i read it how it was worded, i still think i got the lower deal out of this....

cheers



Cash would be great, as I'm trying to gather extra cash for some new snowboarding bindings! I have to let you know that the rics are not mounted. I'll be home after 3pm and live in bowness

*personal info removed*

Lawrence.



ok cool ill bring cash and unmounted is preferred as i dont have space for rock lol

i have to work at 5 so my roomate is going to come pick them up when hes off, hes off around 530-6 if thats ok??


yeah no worries

again sorry:)

cheers

Sorry about that, I can see the reason for the confusion as I forgot to put the dollar sign in.

Lawrence.

you admit you forgot to put the dollar sign in and YES thats how i read it ...why wouldnt i ...it wasnt me who "forgot" to put the dollar sign in.....so its me who paid and got way less than exected...


AGAIN i wouldnt have bought them if there were only 5, i was under the imprssion there were 15 not 5 .

im not blaming you though i should have went and picked them up my self then i could have said no not worth it ....so lesson is buy stuff in person so you dont get jipped...

sorry

reefwars 10-17-2012 03:07 PM

reefwars 10-17-2012 03:11 PM

reefwars 10-19-2012 05:05 PM

I had sponges in my 180 but only in sump which was lit up. When I turned return on after WC my pump would shed them and blow into display but still never took. Could have been one of the critters in DT eating them too

thanks kien , honestly it looks like a gong show right now not the look i was going for lol my fragtank is full and no room so all my pieces that i want to add to the tree once i upgrade are just sitting on the sand bed , im moving here shortly so im waiting to move into the new house for my new cube to be set up.


part of me wants to just set up the cube here and switch stuff over as now i have way too many fish (just aquaired 12 fish) and way too many loose frags kicking around(just bought out a friends system)

HA goodluck with that lol my copperband is doing great although i wouldnt keep him in there long term , i have bigger tanks he could go in but the 25g was the best option as theres lots of food,hiding places and a quiet surroundings.....so a great place to fatten him up and train him on to other foods.

so far he eats mysis, brine,pacifica plankton, and nls pellets.


not bad considering when i got him he only ate mysis and spit everything else out lol im sure the continuous feedings of the tank is helping too.

hes hands down my favorite fish right now and takes food from my hand:)
