Crazy Glued Zoos

Sunday vapo felt like doing some fragging and propogating on his own... :)

He crazy glued a few zoos onto a flat piece of rock...He tried using the Hold Fast putty by MarineL but somehow that didn't work and the zoos flew off if you touched them in the tank... :( So he decided that it was useless and decided to hot glue gunned the zoos onto the rock... LOL
Seems like it worked... :) I am glad... Nothing is flying off... :P

He is getting good fragging zoos...and we can not live without our crazy glue and now our hot glue gun... :P

5 Less Snails in the Tank

Saturday, vapo found 5 snails for A and he met up with A at AquaP... :) vapo got back $10 for the 5 snails... :P It's all good since more cash in the wallet for more fish and corals... It seems that AquaP has seahorses... :) Good! i like seahorses but the waterflow is a bit too strong for them so they are flying across the tank involuntarily... :P Hehe...

Then I met up with vapo after lunch and we did our usual saturday fish trip to see the fishes... We went to NAFB...to check out their stuff but nothing new and no more sea hares to buy...which sucks... :P

Then we went to BA Ken to check out their weekly specials... nothing too exciting nor were there anything we really wanna buy there...

Afterwards, we went home... More fish watching there too... :) It's rather nice...

Slut and Snails

Friday evening after work, we headed over to NAFB... :) We found out that J was back and hoped that he might have brought some corals or other livestock with him... We were right! :)

We ended up getting a sea hare for $25 and 16 snails at $1.99 each... The snails were a good deal... :P ...coz they were the good and more expensive snails... :)

We thought to give A about 8 snails since he wanted some snails as clean up crew...

Total Expense: $47

21lb Lettuce Rock Successfully In Tank

Last night, we moved the 21lb lettuce rock into the 120G SW tank in the basement after weeks of curing... :)

We had to take out rocks, move rocks around and take out corals too...

Now the lettuce rock is successfully in the tank near the centre with 60% of rocks on the left and about 40% of the rcoks on the right... There is a big curve in the middle so we can put more corals in the tank now! :) The tank looks a lot more bigger and spacious... :) In fact, the depth is wider now...so it looks like a real feef... :P

I love it! :) But it did take us about 3 hours... I expected it... but now it's done and finished... I hope we don't have to move more rocks around... :P :)

Now all we need is more corals! :) I guess vapo will now have a good excuse to buy more corals...

Hopefully, more coral shipments will arrive soon...so we can check those out...

Salinity: 1.026

We also changed the water for all of the 4 SW tanks in the base ment last night...as well... :) So we got a lot done....
