Mr. Hyde 5,372 Posted August 30, 2013 The white sand is lovely, but only after you use a turkey baster to suck up the poop. My current filter in the QT is adequate for biological filtration, but is a horrible for mechanical filtration. I will be getting a stronger filter. "but only after you use a turkey baster to suck up the poop" Hope that's a spare baster, or you won't be making the turkey for Thanksgiving. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeonVodka 275 Posted August 30, 2013 Of if he [DNAlex edit] uses the main baster, everyone is going to be wondering what that awesome new taste to the turkey is 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RanchuDressing 2,542 Posted September 3, 2013 Yikes, what a wonderful find, Alex! My PetSmart has the higher-end orandas available most of the time, but they typically don't look anything like that! What a great wen, and such potential. Excellent coloring, too. Score! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a great wen, and such potential. Excellent coloring, too. Score! Thank you, Dee Dee! I am really happy to have gotten the MagiKarp! She/He continues to do very well, and being very selective about food. Pro-Gold seems to be the only acceptable pellet, and I am glad I have it at least. Tomorrow she finishes the last of the 14 days of 0.3% salt, and then I will give her a week without salt before continuing with the 2nd round of prazi. I am in no hurry, since she will be staying there for a while. I will switch out to the 20 gallon soon, I think. I'd love to get an update of the Tacky Tiki Tank when you get a chance! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, MK is a happy as can be in the Bachelor Tank. I will have to do a video soon of them eating some blood worms or brine shrimp. He is quite active, and does not even stop to rest until the lights are long off. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
