Marinne's 65G LPS tank

[Marinne13]

I haven't seen one yet...I am always looking though

decorator crab

Are you gonna keep it? I thought they weren't reef safe.

 

[ErinCahir]

I seem to recall someone on here keeping their tank stocked with macro algae to keep their decorator away from the corals. Pretty sure it worked. I can't remember who it was, though. :/

 

[Marinne13]

I am keeping him until he gets bigger then will prob sell him

I had 2 with the rock I got from them...both died after a while and never presented any threat while there....the goofy SOBs carried all kinds of crap around though....very entertaining....

 

[Marinne13]

yeah he is putting all kinds of algae on his head lol

 

[AnthonyTheNewbie]

Sounds highly amusing to watch :)

 

[Marinne13]

so ready for coral but not a single fish store in my town has anything...not even fish, ugh

 

[MitchReef]

Good god....you really do live in a desolate hell hole, don't you....

 

[Aquarian]

I would move.

 

[Marinne13]

Unfortunately yes

 

[MitchReef]

I just looked on a map...I had no idea just how remote that place is.....I don't think I could survive there....first of all I absolutely hate cold weather....Florida gets cold to me.....

I used to live in Omaha and one spring day I was out in shirtsleeves running errands and I heard the radio guy say it was 19F....I realized that was just all wrong......I hate cold cause it makes my person hurt....

 

[Marinne13]

It blows here and I mean that literally...always windy and in the winter its brutal

The LFS here had a bad summer as most people get restless in the winter and that's when the business comes

 

[Marinne13]

I would move.

not that easy in this economy...my husband's job is too good to up and leave, sucks but you have to make sacrifices sometimes

 

[AnthonyTheNewbie]

Yep. What about ordering from LiveAquaria? They have a pretty good selection of stuff. Divers Den has some awesome stuff :)

 

[Marinne13]

That's my plan

 

[MitchReef]

I just hate waiting for critters to be delivered....I'm always so worried that I will get a bag of stinky death....

 

[Marinne13]

I agree, always makes me nervous...at least they will refund
I won't be buying fish online, only coral

 

[MitchReef]

And fish are what I'm considering just so I can get the grouping I want without having to pay LFS retail prices....

 

[Marinne13]

so I have Cirolanid Isopods...looks like I am going to have to tear this tank down :(
