My 20 Long

Yeah up until about 3 hours ago I was still torn between aquatic and teresstrial (I know i killed that word...) I thought about going for a major in aquatic and a minor in the aforebutchered word.

Terrestrial is the word you're looking for .

Hard to choose though. But aquatics seems more interesting.

Thanks. Yea I agree...Plus if anyone (including future wife) tries to say I dont need so many tanks...Im working! Shut up woman!

Haha sounds like you have it all planned out.

Yea...Rumination...

(If you dont know what it is look it up...Fairly straight-forward)

Oh I know what it means. Even toed ungulates, artiodactylids I believe, ruminate. Species such as cows, giraffe, deer.

Oh now thats just down right icy...

Yanno I feel like a damn moron...All this time Iv been hurting for lighting and for the past 7 or 8 months iv had a 150W HPS set up collecting dust...

Haha what!? You just found that? Lol.

No, It just dawned on me I had it...I set it up before I went to sleep earlier and it matches the sun perfectly (minus the blue)

Okay so I decided since the tanks cant get any worse and I actually have good lighting (MAJOR morale booster for me) Im going to try mission impossible and save the tank. Im doing what I can right now without spending any money but sooner or later im going to have to get more CUC stuff since the tanks pretty much border line wiped. Im thinking a emerald crab and 2 red or blue tipped hermits and maybe a few extra Nassarius snails. Thoughts?

What do you have left now for a CUC?

Like...2 Ceriths and thinking about it now...Enough Nassarius snails (like 5 or so)

Ah, I see.

Well, you definately need some more maids in there.

What about pom pom crabs to add a bit of interest as well? They'll eat pretty much anything AFAIK.

Well im interested in the emerald crab for the bubble algae problem. Il go take a picture of the disaster we're calling a tank so you can see what I mean.

I see what you mean. I forgot about the bubble algae.

Sure.

Sounds like a good idea blunto. I wouldn't get any hermit crabs however, since they will go for your snails.

Yea lol once you see this...You're going to think im insane for not only keeping the tank up but believing I can fix it. The SG is through the roof so thats distilled water I got dripping in on a VERY VERY VERY slow drip.

Well I was thinking il take the old turbo snail shells I got laying around and put in there since red and blue tipped hermits dont get but about the same size as those shells so thatll hopefully solve that problem.

Sh*t dude. LOL

Good luck.

I told you it couldnt even be classified as a fish tank...The funny thing is...Through ALLLL this sh*t iv put it through the peppermint shrimp just keeps growing and growing lol

This is the perfect example of how little credit we give our aquatic friends with regard to hardiness.

Don't know how anything survived that, tbh.

I know right...Id still have my female clown if I wouldnt have forgot to told my mom to top the tank off slowly...

Yeah, sucks about that. :\

Is it a possibility for you to scrape the glass?

Honestly...Im not even sure. In one way I say yes in another I would rather not spread anything around. I already have to take the skimmer apart and un clog it so it will start working again. Tomorrow I plan on trying to clean up at least one or two of the rocks and getting the skimmer running again. Probably redo the flow because its pushed all the sand to one end of the tank. Debating on if I want to disturb the sand bed now to even it out or wait until i get it more under control.
