I'm actually a bit disappointed. got an email saying I won and gave me the sellers email but they have yet to respond. So I'm really in the dark about that awesome piece of driftwood no money lost but I really want it.

I finally heard back from the seller who was out of town for Christmas and the driftwood is paid for and ready to ship!

In my last package I got my 20 pounds of black sand. I chose Petco brand because the previous time I used it, it needed no rinsing whatsoever... Was dust free.

Also got 20 pounds of black EcoComplete, 500mL of flourish iron, a spray bottle for my frogs(my other broke), a new 50 watt heater for the shrimp tank(other was going out), and last but not least...

Some moss balls. I put 2 in the shrimp tank and 2 in the dojo tank...

Someone left me a comment about the dojo tank and said now I have "Spaghetti and Meatballs!"


ALSO! I met @Hensleyjk today really awesome dude and we had a fun time in Chattanooga at the Temnessee Aquarium and around town.

Just let me know a few weeks ahead of time when you'll be in state buddy.

Here's a pic of Caleb's silhouette and some vals from Tennessee Aquarium. Those plants were over 4 foot tall with ease.

I am a bit dismayed that my GBR has had his tail nipped again. It has healed well and someone decided to nip it again. It's weird though because I never see anyone bother him.

Toad tank ?

Lots of action later into the night lol. They don't exactly croak, it's more of a whining almost.

10g with the help of some NEW star Repens and Jesse's Java moss is really coming together.

And what you all have been waiting for the 20L build work-in-progress.

GUYS and gals I really want to know if I should do a white sand path through the tunnel/cave on the left side of the tank. I'm going to petsmart tomorrow for crickets and can get a 5 pound bag of white sand. Otherwise I have the black sand to fill in the rest of the tank.

No way could I ever have toads in my bedroom. Filters are loud enough let alone whining amphibians.

If you could create a barrier between the white and black it would look very good!

How long did it take your stitches to fall out? 2 of mine came out today and 1 is bothering the snot out of me, wish I could just pull it out...

Between crickets, toads, and water noises It's like I'm sleeping outside minus the cold quite soothing actually.

It was probably a good 1.5-2 weeks before all my stitches were completely gone. I was so happy to bury my face in some real food without pain man. Don't realize how much you enjoy it till you can't eat it.
