The sandbed got a makeover!


So the sandbed has too much crap in it- take a look at this. Shells and crap everywhere- yuck!

So I strained the sand. And it's all nice and clean!!

I agree with you....I love the look of the clean uncluttered sandbed.


Excellent quality pictures.

So what is your plan for the shells and such? Would make a nice fuge base.

Of course, if you take out all the shells, the hermits can't switch houses.

Not sure what to do with it. I don't have a fuge and would have no clue how to add one!! My sump is a rubbermaid.

Don't worry, the hermits have plenty of shoes to change in and out of! I would never limit their options!!

-"hmmmm, should I wear , or maybe these , go country dancing with , or take a trip to holland . Soooo many options!! Thank-you mommy gwen!!"

I know, I have a problem, I am addicted to this reef board!! HELP ME!! Lots of the time I'm here is while I'm at work though, so that's not really free time. Otherwise I'd be glad to drive to FL and do a waterchange!! We have driven to the Keys before and as long as you aren't that far, then I'm there! That US 1 is a killer!! OMG!! Like here in Atlanta, we drive like 80-90, and if you don't drive that fast, we run you over!! Aren't we nice people??? So on US 1 it was like a one lane road and we were driving like 35- OMG it drove me CRAZY!!! I would've ran someone over, but I didn't wanna end up in the ocean!! he he

And with all my free time, I managed to rake in 65 hours last week!! So 8 of them don't really count since those are holiday pay, but still it will make for a nice check!!

Nice try Tim!!

And shouldn't you be on winter break soon ??? Maybe you will have extra time to work on my tank??!!!?! he he
