    Pods Galore!

    I was using AB for ages and was always happy, pods were jumping out of the bags. Then a total mess last year. I put in a big order to fill my 120, think it was a BOGO and I expected a few thousand pods. Ended up, on arrival I received not even a fraction of the number. AD was adamant about no...

    Little bummed

    Sorry to hear. Did she have experience or just claim it as she wanted ponies? If you ever have livestock that needs to be re-homed and cared for you know we're all here to support each other.

    SHIRTS - OCTOBER 2020

    Shirt update folks: Nothing yet, which is odd, these guys are usually pretty tight and have bee above average the past few orders.. They did call me earlier in the week to say they were hoping to be done by today. Plan on giving them a call later this am and will keep you guys and gals informed.

    First time culturing phyto

    Looks great! I have a densiometer for phyto somewhere. If I can find it it's yours. It's almost like an old school brewer's tool and it shows you how much phyto you actually have in each bottle. Glad you're enjoying it!

    Tank moving company

    That is fantastic! I love that whole idea. Move a tank? What? Are you an idiot!? We can sell you a new tank at 20x the cost of moving that perfectly good one you have, you fool. Is it something a group of us can do? We're not all professional, pretty, or classy, but we can move heavy things.

    Riccordia group buy (not a new buy)

    Think I had 6. They did well in my tank for a few months, and I ended up with 10 or so, and then they were overwhelmed by the golden dragons. Three survivors or so were given out as freebies with the rock when I broke down the 120. I transplanted 2 small ones over to the 40g and they never made...

    28 gal JBJ Nano-Cube with LED lighting and stand; large red hermit with live rock

    Saw this this morning and thought, 'That'll be gone in an hour.' Honestly surprised its still about. Best of luck with the sale, trust me, if I had the space I would have PM'd you hours ago.

    SPS growth

    So, although I was frustrated that my tank couldnt grow zoas and SPS was growing like weeds, my husbandry has fallen off and the SPS are dying back. As I have no zoas in the tank due to the SPS being water quality divas, I'm a bit pissed at them. But I will appease them, as they're hot and I'm...

    Skyrocketing prices?

    I dont think its just fish. My wife and I noticed it tonight. Earlier in the year we priced out and wrote down a few gifts for the kids. A Disney Princess Wreck it Ralph set - $129, today the cheapest we saw it was $199. A Lego jungle set - $59, cheapest today was $99. We did manage to get the...

    Anemone takeover

    See? AWESOME! I would have responded with some sort of emoji showing much appreciation, but I refuse to ever use the lovey heart eyes, thus this post.

    Ignorance is bliss

    Any shot you recall the 2 bulbs you were using? I'd guess Blue+ and Purp+, but I'm on a T5 learning curve atm. I'm using a 4 bulb combo (still experimenting) over a shallow 30g, am planning to order new lamps soon, and wouldn't mind trying out that 2 bulb combo in one of my channels.

    Anemone takeover

    Blow all these buyers off, they're all lowlifes, rogues, and rapscallions, trust me, I know em. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy (that was for Paulie). IMHO... Go grab a 120+, stick all those anem rocks in it, LED it up, and drop in 10+ clowns. That would be AWESOME.

    Well...

    Ha! Got ya. No worries. Scarcasm is great! Oh, and, btw, when we do the D&D thing, I’ll bring along the boxed 5e rules!

    Marine Magic algae scrubber

    Well, without having contacted them, I received confirmation today that the order was filled and shipped. They apologized for the delay in shipping and dropped $10 off the price.

    SHIRTS - OCTOBER 2020

    Crap dude, sorry to hear, know you guys were pretty tight on the outside contact thing.

    Well...

    No worries. I'm based in reality. As many others I grew up on Star Wars. When I was a kid, I saw the original in the theater something like 10 times. As an adult, I can now afford some things that I like to display on my walls, and that lightsaber is one of them. Some people hang plates, some...

    Copepods in new tank

    Pods will eventually show up on their own, but that usually happens in a semi-established system. They are detritus eaters, so its usually beneficial to have fish in the tank before introducing the pods with the exception of wrasse or dragonettes, both of which are pod hunters. Wrasse will eat...

    Well...

    Waited 40 years to see that scene where the special guest star's woop-arse breaks out. All is justified. Paulie, perhaps you might like to use my Legacy Series Ventress...
