i want a desk tank.....

[scalesandfins]

No way. You and your mandarins always wanting to push the limits...tsk tsk.

well whats the fun in doin somethin you know is possible
i shoot for the impossible as long as there is no chance of fish getting killed.
i think i will try the mandarin. we are really not busy at all and i would have all the time in the world for this tank, and i have a mini fridge and sink right in our office in spitting distance so water changes and feeding wont really matter.
i found a guy sellin a 8 gal bio cube for 70 bucks. used for a year with all kinds of extras. do yall think thats a good deal? its either that with the mandarin or my lfs has a 2 gal picotope thing that i would just load with zoas and (mu)shrooms and maybe some other corals and shrimp. but a mandarin would be really cool to watch hunt. if i see him not doin great there is a lfs a mile away so he can be saved no problem.
if i dose an entire bottle of copes about a month before i put him in i thinkl that shoudl work. some really crazy pourous rock for them to hide and breed in and bam done.
i will get a tiny one so he is not super cramped, and maybe grow them out and trade for a smaller ones as they out grow the tank

You would need to feed pods every day, a lot or pods. If its something you want to try, then go for it, but I really think you need to install inline with the tank a 40 gallon fuge with a good pod population to make it work...lol

What are the "extras" coming with the 8 gallon cube?

 

[scalesandfins]

ok so now i need to convince my boss to let me use my drawers for a sump i guess lol
i can dose pods every day i guess.
im not sure of everythin but i want to go look at it soon but i am buying a 400 dollar snake to so this might have to be put on hold for a month. the guy doesnt mind waiting so thats good

Always go with the biggest tank you can have. Especially with what you are trying to do. I am not one to talk about restraint, and I have definitely experimented before...so we will see what happens I guess. Heres hoping for the best!

What sort of snake are you getting?

 

[scalesandfins]

he well in this case i want the smallest i can get away with. i just think a micro reef would be amazing. thanks! i might just do the 2 gallon with a few small corals and grow outs for my 90
n its a super pastel ball python hopefully make some killer bees next year
the first is the super pastel and the second is our spider het carmel she is one killer spider not to derail the thread or anythin

 

[FLESHY]

Damn dude...gorgeous. Lucky guy.

 

[scalesandfins]

thanks man. i cant wait till she can breed. should only take another year. she is a late 09 and at about 250 grams. already eating rat pups
i cant wait to see the super. the guy who has him isnt very good at taking pics so i cant wait to see his real colors

 

[FLESHY]

So you already have the second one? You are going to breed them?

I think you owe me a favor...

 

[scalesandfins]

actually the guy with the super pastel fell thro
but i still have a pin stripe and a mojave to breed to the spider so we are good there. but a super pastel will be added to the list very soon
i decided to use the money i saved for this super on a new rack its an animal plastics 9 level rack. should have plenty of space for my breeding stock.
as soon as i get babies i will let you know fleshy you guys will have first dibs after my local store owner bc i trade him alot for new morphs.
anyone have a few big female ball pythons they want to sell?
