Where did you buy you CUC from?

I just like doing things right. The idea of being in control of what goes into my tank sounds appealing to me.

+1. Have you started a tank journal yet? We'd love to see some progress!

Thank you. Yes, after a couple false starts its up and running and cycling with a big 'ol shrimp from the local fish monger and a splash of pure ammonia for good measure. My system isn't fancy or pretty but I sure have learned from it. Which was the entire point...I have an empty 125g sitting right beside me that's determined to become a beautiful display tank in a year or two.

I'll look into starting a tank journal thread. I really appreciate the encouragement!
