chibikaie Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 It's more of a "how to prepare for MTS in the long run" thread. I am trying very hard to only get livestock that will be happy in the two tanks I have set up right now. I promised my 5.5 and my 75 gallon to a friend and I don't have the money for more anyway. But I keep thinking, gee, these shrimp or that plant would be awesome and I could totally do a stack of 10 gallons on the opposite wall.

Crazyfishlady Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 So - went to the hardware store for lunch - had a few guys debating on the best wood for the stand. I finally picked something better... cuz I'm a girl. lol It's 3/4'' thick pine. Then I got waterproof staining and it's drying now. This should do the trick right? I also set up an emergency 'critter keeper' tank just in case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfishlady Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 And... as is my luck... this is the one shipment that is arriving on time - go figure. Shrimp are supposed to arrive today and according to the usps site, they will be. So... the shrimp I was ready/prepared for got serious delays but these... on time. ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
