I looked for a lower auction. I only found one and it was at 22.50. Not worth a dollar to fight over it, just use Buy-It-Now and get it

Thing is ... there wasn't any bubble algae anywhere in the tank, but unfortunately there might be in the near future. The drain pipe came right out of bulkhead on me and all the water and BA I had scraped off drained into the sump and went everywhere. I tried to do a partial water change in the sump and siphon out what I could but I'm sure I missed some (not to mention all the stuff from the ones that popped and were in the water from the overflow).

I tried too have fun on your behalf but it was more a hassle than fun. I was outside most of the day trying to have a yard sale but hardly anyone came by (too busy enjoying the weather elsewhere I guess) plus, I spent alot of the time trying to keep the 2 lil ones from hauling all the stuff somewhere else.

today..... got mixed saltwater (10 gallons), another pound of really nice rock, purple mushroom, and snails. Caball362 got me some ummm. i forgot what its called.. something for the fuge. but its going in my main tank until i get off my lazy bum and make a fuge. i may do that later. i am about to give up on that drill bit.

now i have a delima.. i want to get a small powerhead to use for syphoning out crap on rock .. want it so i can put it in a filter sock and use that to filter while syphoning so i don't loose water while doing this. it doesn't need to be big.. i am thinking about a rio 50 or 90. there is only a $5 difference. which should i get?
Hmmmm, you should have come and browzed around in our stash. Probably is an old RIO pump in there somewhere (or something similar)

Looks better than mine does. All I got in mine is some ugly equipment and some stuff I am not sure what it is. I think it might be crushed coral but not positive. No rocks yet.

i still need a pump/powerhead for tank cleaning. and one for a DIY skimmer.. i went for water and snails. ended up getting water, rock, and a pump. i need to see what i want to really do with the pump since it doesn't have all the pieces to it. its just the pump not the hanger or nozzles... or even the piece to adjust exit flow.
