New Order Placed

I just placed my order for the Package on the new 150g tank I just setup.
Ordering is easy as pie because Richard takes pride in what he does and just makes things simple as possible.

I will post pics after I get my first shipment this Sunday, .

Order was at airport on time, called and verified then drove there to get shipment. Walked inside gave the lady my airbill number, paid for the shipment and we were off back to the house. It was an easy as pie transaction.

Have all sand and rocks in tank and waiting for it to clear so I can mover base rocks around. Richard sent some HUGE base rocks....all full of life and just looking amazing.

Already see some snails and hermit crabs moving around.

Both...pukani are the larger pieces.....which I use for big tanks, as a lot of small rocks piled up just does not look right in big tanks.....

Several BIG rocks. They are quite impressive.
I just kinda put them in, let things settle then move around a bit more. This is just the first part so more goodies to come. Love these rocks, life everywhere.

I'll ask you more questions after you get part 2. I'm in the planning stages for a 120 and want to go with the package.

No problem, be happy to answer any questions to help out.
I'm on day 6 of part one of the package, did have ammonia rise up to almost 1.00 but I was ready for it (part of Richards instructions) and have under control.
Ordering the package was a good move for me, couldn't be happier.

I will have to move some things around just was in a hurry to get everything
in safe and sound. If you order the Package from TBS be ready on your second shipment to have all kinds of goodies. I was almost overwhelmed with
the amount of things that I got. LOL

Thanks to Richard my tank looks awesome.
I will post more pictures as the tank matures.
