So I went down to the states yesterday, as my sister has some bridal shopping to do. I figured I'd join the trip and keep her fiance entertained, rather than sitting in a car.
We ended up going to Petco to check out the place. I now know why they call that place Death-co. Nice big tangs, in 5g tanks, full of ick. Made my heart almost stop.
Anyhoo, on the way out, we noticed the clearance table.
We found a Red Sea Aquavase. Reg $29.99, on sale for $10 bucks. Reason, no lamp. Still a steal at $10 bucks for the small 3/4g tank, and also the HOB filter. (The one we got was all clear)
He's always wanted a small tank for his apartment, and almost always wanted a red scarlet hermit crab. He can't keep his eyes of the one in my tank, seeing that was the first livestock I had.
Questions: His apartment is fairly warm year round. Do you think he'll need a heater?
Lighting? What to use? If anything he'll some sand, a peice of LR, and the hermit, one snail, and maybe some xenia from my tank. Thought about DIY LED, but he's not the DIY type of guy. Thought about the similar lighting that comes with the tank, its $24.99 and is 7w. Is that enough?
