Impatience, the good and the bad

Geez... the pumps, the heaters and the temperature gauge that was supposed to show up on Friday did not show up and aren't due to be here till Tuesday. This is supposed to set me back, but I have a different idea.

It's really hard to stare at a full tank and not have anything in there so last night I threw a couple of zoas in there to see if they will survive. I know, I know... but I'm impatient. The good news is that they seem to be surviving and they also seem to be loving the new light, even though the flow has been decreased a lot in this new tank.

This morning, I decided to drive up to Petland Duluth to get some rock. I heard from Tony that they have some decent selection in there and their website shows a pretty healthy selection of fish. Well, the rocks were okay... I saw some thick slabs that were fit for a sidewalk. The prices were a bit high at $8 per pound to $13 per pound. Well, after some digging around, underneith the slabs, they actually had some pretty nice Fiji rocks. Well, I ended up getting about 14 lbs of rocks... more spontaneous buying considering they weren't covered in coralline. Overall, I am pretty happy with the decision though. The rocks were porous and they stack pretty. What do you think?
