Hi let me re introduce myself
I used to be Quagmire, that was 3 or 4 years ago. Due to moving around Ive had my tanks shut down during the time Ive been off the board.
So the other day I noticed one of my little 25g tanks, and well you know how it works. It kept nagging at me, its only a small tank, whats the big deal, if I set up a nano, Ive already got most of the equipment. So I dug around some of my boxes, and found the fish stuff, opened it up and immediately thought, what is all this crap? I didn't realize how much fish stuff I never threw away. So lets see, I have lights..check, power heads..check, liverock.. nope, lots of dead rock. OK so if I pick up a bag of sand and 10lbs of liverock , mix it with the dead stuff, it should all work out in time. Off to Golds I go, OK forgot he's closed on Thursday. No problem, there are 3 more stores I can hit on this end of town. But first lets check the computer. Prodibio whats that? looks promising, lets see who sells it. Off I go to the fish store thats about as far on the other side of town as you can get. Nice guy at Red Coral. Shopped around at 3 different stores. got home with what I remembered. And looked deeper in the closet to get the tank stand and spotted the 40g cube. Hmm wonder if my halides still work? OK so I have my halides and its a waste to let them sit in the closet, so lets see, 40g cube ...check, power heads...check, live rock... sort of, stand and , well I don't see any cracks, so also a sump. OHH and whats that my old trusty Euro reef skimmer, best bang for the buck skimmer ever made :mrgreen:
Picked up the other odds and ends today along with more LR, and everything I forgot yesterday. Got everything set up proper and now I can look at my first tank in at least 3 yrs. Not much to look at yet but it has promise. It will also be my Prodibio test tank.
