    Nice tank shot buddy!

    And about the system: Do itttt! You could even buy a $100 head unit nowadays that has the USB for your phone and Pandora ;)

    Just think: LED's or an mp40 :drool:

    Thanks a lot dude, i thought it came out pretty nice.

    Yeah i know its crazy, i remember back in 06 my buddy wanted to have an ipod integration installed in his old JVC headunit and it was a 150 dollar part, and an arm and a leg BestBuy charges for car install (Theyre the reason i tought myself. i said no way!)
    Now its almost a standard feature. lol. before that you had the aux to headphone jack input for ipods/phones and now its usb. which i love.

    my girl just bought an 03 Corolla, and its bone stock. She wants a little quake, and i said we could work out a "trade" lol. and i would do it myself, make sure its clean, no wires showing, whole 9 yards. I think i do damn good work ive done plenty of them for friends thru the years, and myself at least 3 times lol. I could almost do it in my sleep. come to think of it, i think i remember one time.... lol

    New adds today! Got some 20lbs of dry rock, and a pair of Banggai Cardinals.

    Heres the pair.

    Thanks, it certainly has been. Too long if you ask me, but im taking it slow and letting it grow. lol Gradually stepping up the bio load is nice, i feel at ease knowing im going slow, not jeopardizing the tank of aggression, or too many livestock, not enough cuc/bio filter to deal with.


    I almost bought a tiny blue tang instead of these 2. It was MAYBE an inch in size. But i didnt wanna go that route just yet, i wanted a pair of fish and these guys looked nice, and not bad 30 for the 2.

    Thanks 2. I like it as well. not too much more rock to be added. probably another 30-40 lbs should be good i think. If not ill add some to the sump.

    The fish are doing well. i only float acclimated em for like 20 min. and plopped em in. My sg was 1.025, and the water they were in from the store was 1.022 ish. Didnt think dripping was necessary.
