Yeast and baking soda
Black gravel (gonna take the pink highlights out of the blue and add some black to the snail tank)
20gL
20g
2 hobs I need a 20+ and a 40+ i already have a 20 but im having some trouble getting all the traces of salt out. Its a big issue because its for the cory tank. vinegar, right?
3 heaters
a boatload of sword plants and maybe some other plants, suggestions?
50-75 lbs of sand OR 30 lbs. of aquarium stones and 20 lbs of sand, im not sure yet.
Something to use as a stand (yardsale)
More ammonia test (i'll probably just buy another master, i'll need it eventually)
More tubing valves and splitters
Timers
Hoods and bulbs for both tanks
More Stresscoat
Driftwood
Clay pots
3 more thermometers
And a partridge in a pear tree

Live stock for the tanks eventually

Various corys, definitely some pandas and more San Juans
Cardinals

The 20reg is for my fiancee, she wants some corys, and some other stuff, shes not sure yet so you can give her some stocking suggestions too if you like.

More money! :19:

Lol yea President bush is paying for all that. I think i can do this for a few hundred as long as i shop around on the filters, and the tanks. Stocking the cory tank is gonna be kinda pricey, san juans are 10bucks a pop locally...and i need 3 of those at least, and probably either two more sets of 5 of other species of cory, or 10 or so of one species.

i would hold off on the master kit, and just get the ammonia if thats all you need, the other stuff will be sitting for like 2 years, and apparently they loose their accuracy as they age. AND you just missed my sword toss out, probably about 10 in the pruning bucket all dried up now.

Big Al's!!
Prime instead of stresscoat

And I just gave away 5 large bleheri swords:14:

[gm72]

A second vote for BigAl's. I use them almost exclusively anymore.

I'm sure that whomever was the recipient of your wonderful plants is VERY thankful, Algenco! Maybe that person will have good luck with them, too and be able to pass them along in succession!

Yeh, pretty soon Im going to be sending out some free microworm cultures, once I figure out how to ship them right.

I second the vote for Prime, stress coat is too expensive. Or try Amquel + Novaqua

I'll second the Prime over the Stresscoat.
