    I can't wait(neither can my tank) I got 85 different snails coming along with some macro algea that i'm gonna use as ornamental to make the tank look more natural(also got some chaeto i'm gonna spread along the bottom of the tank since i don't have a sump or refuge)Should be here tomorrow or friday,tank has been going for a little over 3 months now and my rock is covered in diatoms,And I think some cyano(purpley fuzzy algea??)plus my back glass is getting pretty ugly since i can't clean back there.Sorry to ramble but i'm just excited.I can't wait!

    Thank ya both,most of the snails are dwarf ceriths,so they can get in nooks of the rock,and they don't know it yet,but there going to work full time when they get here!!lol!! John was great to deal with,his prices are great,he sent a number of emails keeping me informed and it wasn't hard to make free shipping,allthough i probably got more algea than i can use(got a freind i'll give the rest to)but that's the way a business should be ran!!Good luck to you John in this business thriving for you!!!Must be great to do something you love and make a living at it!! LOL !!!

    I started to,but i'm a stay at home dad with a 2 month old,so i don't always get to finish what i start,but i was looking at a hob ref from aquatraders that has a skimmer built in for 50 bucks,they also have the pump and light for it,but times are tight and i'll live.Plus i do run a skimmer(it's a seaclone,but it works,plus it's only on a little 20 gal tank)so between that and the new decor algea plus water changes every couple weeks should keep my water prestine.My params are pretty good right now,plus i think i'll like the looks of some different macros in the display.
