    Nope, unfortunately. But its in the home stretch! lol patience is one thing i don't have but in this hobby, i need it. Funds arent there all the time i have no job atm, so my school money is helpin this out a lot. lol. but after the 1st im gonna look for a job part time.

    alls i need is a return, rock, and some sand and ill get this thing cycling, itll prolly have just that in it for a few months Im making sure this tank is the best it can be. However slow and frustrating it may be lol. its gonna get there sooner or later. I promise! lol

    I know. I just had to rib you a bit. No money really sucks when it comes to this hobby.

    What you've done so far looks good and it will be something to be very proud of when it does have life in it.

    If only i had my tank set up, i would love to have a school of these Orange Line Cromins in it... 4 schooling would look so cool... I need to hurry up and get a return pump!

    Hey, it's coming along. 9 months so far, I'd say that's patience!


    Those chromis look awesome. I bet you could request those on DD once your tank is ready.

    Yeah they would be. Good luck with your tank, imma have to take a look at it sometime. I have patients now but i wont once i see this thing full!! lol
    Ill definately give them a holler once that time rolls around, ill of corse ask some lfs first, gotta support local business when ya can ;). If not i wont mind making the hour trip to 'lando and visit WWC.

    Between those im sure ill get an awesome schooling fish. I dont want the typical green chromis. I do want a nice school of 3-5 (5 being veeeery tiny.)fish.I mean dont get me wrong the'yre beautiful fish, but i see them everywhere I look really. I want a new spice on things. And ive never seen those ones before, so im gonna chalk 1 up for a def stock option in the future...

    ..you know any cool schooling chromis out there?

    I guess that no one wants to share their ideas. :). Just go with whatever plans you have mate.
