    LoL, that was just an excuse, I'm sure of it.

    I have to call and speak with the manager again. He told me yesterday I would receive an E-mail regarding some sort of compensation, which I never received.

    LoL okay, I will. I'm getting ready to go get everything else I need. Hopefully the stand fits in the trunk of the car I'm going to take. I know it won't fit in the tC's.

    I'm back. [dancing] [dancing] [dancing] [dancing] [dancing] Getting ready to eat lunch so I have energy to set everything up. I got some discounts at the pet store too. The girl that helped me was really nice and gave me 2 bags of live sand that were 40 dollars each for 5 bucks, and 10% off my aquarium stand. We walked out 314 dollars poorer, LoL

    I do have to run up to Lowes to get a 5 gallon bucket though, after I'm done eating.

    I've taken some pictures already. It's filled, the skimmer is on, the filter/heater and I have added most of the salt.

    I got three bags of substrate to mix. Fine sand, a more coarse one and then some crushed coral.

    My skimmer doesn't seem to be working correctly. It might just be me though, not knowing what it's supposed to do. The air intake tube doesn't have an end on it and it looks like it's sucking in too much air.

    Fixed the skimmer. I didn't have the air hose connected to the upper plug thing.
