Shock's 55 Gallon

If i had the money I would give away my clowns for free for those beauties, my LFS has those picassos also. my LFS and that store up north are friends. but im hoping I can get some better prices up north cause my LFS is way to much. Im going to start ordering online before I buy from them again. But ill be sure to get pictures when I go, because I know everything they have isnt on their website. Amazingly enough, these expenisive fish they bring in sell out pretty quickly, i was watching on a local forum up there and they had 3 Joculator angels (800$ a piece) and they where all sold within a day. Amazing if you ask me, they are looking to bring in some Gem Tangs which Live aquaria sells for $3500. Man how much I would love to have 5 minutes in that store to grab whatever i could and keep it all for free

oh and im looking to dig in a pond in my backyard. and the koi this store has. WOW. they have some japanese koi that are upwards of 3-4 grand. they are AMAZING fish. there is one that is the owners "girlfriend" whenever he (and only he) walks up to the 2000 gallon "pond" out front, the koi will come out and stare at him, and when he leans down next to the water she kisses him. its absolutly hilarious.

But anyways, I bought a lottery ticket tonight, so hopefully i will be a millionaire at 11 PM, if so everyone here gets something nice

( i can think postive cant i!?)

Well I know have been to pretty much EVERY first store in a hour and 30 min radius. I live near williamsburg VA, and yestruday went to every fish store in Richmond, and today drove hour and a half to virginia beach, which i visited every LFS down there i could find. I bought some brine shrimp for my fish, and thats about it.... lol i want a watchman goby, but i want a refugium before i get that. and corals, well im broke... im just looking for small things, i dont need any large corals, just little frags, I want some pulsing xenia, and thats all i can think of.

anyways i fed my tank and my 2 freshwater tanks brine shrimp and still have alot left over, so im gonna try to keep them alive for the next few days, and keep feeding the tanks, everyone loved them, carrie my 6line ate till she couldnt fit another one, my cichlid tank ate probably 100 brine between 2 of them, and my poor baby eva (mandarin) had a feast and looks like she wants to explode.

lol anyways. everything is well, I need corals, so if anyone frags their stuff and wants to get rid of it im down

ive got some $$.

I have been told not to add fish store water to the tank, so how do you do that and feed brine???? is there a secret trick to it?

I catch them with a net, rince them off with either saltwater or my ro/di whatever i have in the jug at the time, and rince them suckers, then put them in the tank

ok, thanks....seems simple enough. maybe I will buy some next time I go to the store. especially since it sounds like everyone likes to eat them!

Yup, i got 2 "portions" when i went for 4$ and it lasted me since wednesday with over feeding all my tanks, i fed fish twice day with the live brine to all my 3 fish tanks (1 salt and 2 fresh) and i just fed them what they could eat in 10 minutes, and they where all VERY happy for those days. if u have extra brine just put them in something ( i put them in a little tupperware thing) and put an airstone in there to keep them moving, brine have to be continuously moving, also i crushed up flake to as fine as i could get it, i dont know if they ate it, but it was worth a shot. but they all lived till yesturday when i ran out

Nice Jason! I really liked my Aquafuge. It serves its purpose for sure....

Nice Work!

I too rather liked my Aquafuge. All it takes is a little time and you'll have pods like you never thought possible (especially if there aren't any fish to eat them). I'm almost sad that I'm not using it anymore, but I'll take my current setup over a HOB anyday.
