    A pic of two of my 3 hermits from my LFS. They are really nice there and are getting to know me! Good or bad sign? :p

    The one has barnacles growing on him :O

    I order some more CUC members from John along with some shells for my hermits.

    I have 4 turbo snails and 3 red tipped hermits. All are alive and some have coralline growing on the shells! <3 One of my turbos finally realized there is algae on the side glass pane and the hermits are doing quick work on the algae on my sand bed and rocks. ;D

    I'm actually at the same step, basically, as you are. I have 37 lbs of rock in my 29g and need to get my cuc, return pump, and skimmer still. Oh and lights. So I guess you are a little ahead of me in this. :)

    I have water & PH in the tank along with plumbing and a heater...tank is already cycled.

    HAHA I know where Shelby is! Hubby is stationed here but looks like we are getting out and will be moving to either Kalispell, Columbia Falls, or Missoula but hopefully Kalispell! I love that area. <3 We should start the moving process around Aug 1.

    I have another 35 lbs of rock and some more CUC from John coming soon. Hopefully the rock will be here in the next few days. My skimmer is also in the mail and I need to custom make another sump to include a fuge. So much work so little time! 8)

    I put some algae from the LFS in and one of the crabs just found it! He is going to have a nice buffet for a while :)
