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.

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

Wow, 35 fish in a one week old 210 gallon tank all at once hey? But you used AragAlive, fluidized bed filter media and a canister filter from an old tank so everything is spiffy . . .

I suggest you and your wife flip a coin next Boxing Day before you walk into a LFS. The winner of the coin flip gets to be the responsible one. You could call that person the "Designated Buyer" - friends don't let friends drop 35 fish in a week old 210 gallon tank.

Now lemme go climb down from my soap box.

Gee, I'd keep my fingers crossed for the madarin and the maxima. That's a heck of a lot of bioload to be adding all at once regardless of how well seeded your media already was.

As for myself, I went for a couple of big boys toys: Tunze multicontroller and a 6055 nanostream (and a Phosban reactor thrown in for good measure) - over $500 gone.

Then I picked up the wife and it was her turn to go nuts - another $1,000 for a new stove and various other items leaving me even poorer than when I started.

Man the boxing day sale at my house was just madness,I know I said no barttering but couldnt help my self.They said I cant afford that Ausie corral.So I said damit slash that price to myself .And I said to myself they are good people so it okay Rob do it.Sorry to the people that didnt get the free coffee because I ran out coffee cream sugar and no more clean cups.Parking was hectic and drove my brother nuts because they kept parking in his spot and he kept coming down and telling me .I dont know if I can quit this hobby as today was so much fun,Would like to this next year as I had so much fun saying do you see that coral trying to hide from you.( Get him before he hides again
