CCR Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 WELCOME NEW TOAD!!!! If for some reason you find a used tank, maye one that has been a freshwater, be very careful. A lot of treatment for fish in fresh contain copper, The copper gets into the silicone and can leach back into the tank. Huge NO NO Just an fyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racefan Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thank you for the offer but it's an hours drive for me & I get up anywhere from 2:30 am to 3:45 am Depending on my load times(truck driver)for work so I'm a early to bed person.Kills the social life.(nutty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Brandy is talking about the meeting on the 18th, in Oregon City. If you are on Washington St. (SE Portland?) then it should only be a 20 minute drive at the most. That is unless you are somewhere else. If you can make it, let me know and I will bring you a scoop of sand out of my tank to help seed your tank with all the "good stuff" that is in the sand bed. It will help your cycle get going faster, and help your tank mature. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
