      I agree Victoly NCAA is crocked. They didn't want a battle. He better not sell them. Lol dsquared. I don't have enough $ for an autograph.

      Mother in law lives in Galv, so we have season passes and go several times a year. They keep decent tanks.

      Plus in case you didn't know, they're actually a non-profit (everything except the golf course).

      We did the package deal which was 50$. Went to forest, aquarium, then floated the lazy river.

  4. I usually do too, but the design on this 1 got me. Plus it seemed pretty planned out, and the discussion on it was interesting.
  5. Haven't been on ARC as much as I used 2 B. Had time to browse today. I miss checking out the tank builds, reef keeping sections. Didn't even know there is a new section called "What Is This". Pretty cool.

      You know it brother. I replied on yours b4, so I get the updates automatically. Enjoyed the build thread.

      ha, ok. i was really joking, but i'm glad for anyone to follow along.

  6. I just wasted 30 mins of my life reading this entire build. I was looking forward to seeing this tank build only to find a disappearing tank.... Although it is pretty funny at the end...
  7. Rough times with my eel lately. Stopped eating for 2 months and jumped out of the tank about a month ago. Today my patience was rewarded. Finally ate today

      Hasn't stopped eating. Ripped some food out of the sharks mouth, which was pretty cool to see.

  8. Going to get my revenge on NCAA14 tonight for ATM. Bama got me by 1 in double OT last time.

      Smashed Georgia with ATM, but then got crushed with FSU against Ohio St.

  10. I agree this post is great. We were looking for information on dipping coral for preventive measures that we will be using on our corals at the store and used this post for research.
  11. Ordered our 1st batch of corals today. Some really cool/unique stuff. Said they want us to make a statement with this order. Can't wait to see what it looks like tomorrow when I pick it up from the airport.

      If your tank has high level of phosphates then the phosban/phosguard/gfo get saturated in a matter of hours. I am running phosphate remover and observe the algae. If they start getting green I regenerate the phosphate remover, usually about once per 2-3 months.

    4. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      I gave the wrong name. Its phosguard. I'm going to retest the tanks its in tonight. Guess it will be perfect for my tank curing live rock.

  13. Getting prepared for not having a JOB. Picked up Injustice for Wii U 2day. Going to crack it open tomorrow. Watched playoffs, Gangster Squad, and A Haunted House tonight, and ran out of time.

      I don't think Ginobili will be at full strength, and Parker has really struggled this year. I think Nash will be back, but I don't see him contributing much. Jordan Hill though could be.

    3. FarmerTy

      FarmerTy

      Parker has been amazing, just injured. But I am sure that was Pop's plan to rest him anyways. I don't think the Lakers have a chance. Sorry Niko. I know my Rockets will be pushed right out of the 1st round anyways but I will root like crazy for them.

    4. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      I actually like the Rockets as well, and wouldn't be surprised if they make a series out of it with OKC. Harden will be motivated, and they both play uptempo. LA has a much better chance against SA then against OKC. I think that would have been a sweep or maybe 1 game for us.

  15. Sad day in Boston.

  16. FML. 2 nights ago somehow the power strip that I was holding my fish in during my moving of the tanks got flipped off. Lost my Coral Beauty, Flame Angel, and dottyback. Wish I would have lost any other fish, besides the Beauty and Angel. Was planning on replacing them, but someone kicked in my door while I was at work last night. Luckily my alarm went off and they got scared, but now I have to replace that too.

      I like the happy endings that are happening for you despite this wicked twist.

  17. I hooked my dad up with a pretty nice 55g setup. When I got home I found a 14g biocube with the matching stand. That just made my day.

      So you added "another" tank to your collection??? :-)

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Indeed I did. Got another 90g today as well. Sold 3 this weekend though.

  18. Got 100 snails, and 100 crabs for 42.73$. Not too bad.

  19. Craigslist people can be jerks, thank god I found this club. Was supposed to buy 200pds of purple live rock for 200$'s. That's what they asked for. Today I'm getting ready to go grab it, and they said somebody offered them 500$. Kind of fishy somebody would give them 300$ more then what they asked 4. Been listed since the 20th too. They said I had the option to match it, or else if the person offering 500$ backed out they would give it to me then.

      I've bought and sold and have been satisfied overall with CL but there are flakes out there who seem to get a kick out of seeing what they can get away with. I refuse to accomodate anybody and if i get any kind of wiff of a game or some kind of pity card being played I'm not having anything to do with them. I also have a dedicated email address for CL and won't give out my # right away.

      Yeah, I deal with craiglist a lot. I bought 3 tanks with livestock off someone 2 weeks ago. I've had really good, adn really bad expierences. I'll continue to do it, but this 1 just got to me. All of he rocks were dark purple at less then 1$ per pound. Can't beat that. I just really need live rock right now, and don't have the time for mine to cure. I'm selling 2 tanks this weekend, and I wanted to give the people a better deal because I know them and want to make su...

  22. Last night I was breaking down 1 of the tanks I recently got in a package deal. It was nothing left but sand and water. I didn't think about what could be in the sand. Won't make that mistake again. There was a huge bristle worm and it got me good. I was pulling out bristles in my hand for awhile. Didn’t feel too hot.

      Yep, for many it can be worse. Back when Mama (Laura) was on here, she ended up in the ER because of a bristle worm sting.

    4. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      That's crazy. When I looked it up, it said a DR appointment could be required. Luckily it didn't get to that point. Had to finish breaking it down last night. There were still some CUC in there, but I saw more bristleworms. I just chunked it all. Wasn't taking that risk again.

  23. Crazy day planned for tomorrow. Breaking down 2 tanks, and bringing in at least 2. Will be posting a Biocube 29 for sell if anyone is interested.

      Thanks 4 looking out for me Bio. I ended going with a different setup. I might need to holler at you in the future for the plug. Its a 1.5". It will be my next project.

  24. For our honeymoon last year, we went to Georgia Aquarium. This year my wife told me that she wants to go to the Corpus 1 for our anny, since we are balling on a budget. How is the Corpus 1?

      ... Why do they serve seafood at aquariums?

    3. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      I don't know why the serve seafood, but I hope it's good. I think I've decided on Corpus. Looking at the Raddison. It's a mile from aquarium, and close to a public beach.

    4. esacjack

      esacjack

      I wouldnt call mcgee or north beach much of a beach... however, it's only 20 minutes to the real beach :) If you get a craving for pizza and beer, there's a place towards the bluff called BJ's pizza and beer... good stuff :D Also, dont forget to try boat-n-net while you're there. It's like In-N-Out for corpus, but shrimp and seafood. Tacobell prices, better than red lobster :)

      Thanks Toxiq Reef. Sometimes it's hard to vision his plan, but got to keep the faith. We probably will try again when the DR okays it.
