  1. Life can be hard at times. Today my wife and I lost our child for the 2nd time. She was 12 weeks. Follow gods plans and you can over come anything. This will strengthen us.

      You could setup the shark egg webcam. I would definitely start a hatch date betting pool.

      Yeah, its cool. U can see it and the embryo in it. Been wanting to post it, but in the middle of a build with my 185, and still having issues with my job.

      Like the ideal of hatch date pool. Said he had been in there for 3 months. Said he should hatch in 4-5 months. Gives me time to have the fish and stingray established in it.

  4. Experienced something amazing, but sad. Seahorse had small batch of fry, but I failed. I'll be better prepared next time.

  5. LOL @ Mark Cuban. Amnesty that. Worry about Dirk..

  7. Bamboo Cat Shark in 180g?? Wanted a Sting Ray, but that doesnt seem possible. The majority of info that I have read say 180 would work. Any opinions?

      I got the new setup and 300$'s worth of coral. So tired from it I don't even feel like posting it yet. 1 of the coral rocks I got was so huge, that I had to redo all of my tanks to fit it. The seahorse tank was totally redone, but I love it more now. I'll be posting the new setup soon in tank builds.

  10. Can't wait to get home and set up my Nokia 822. Been using a really outdated phone since I traded my Iphone in.

      I miss a phone period. When I went to activate it, they said it was DOA. Was in the store for a hour and half before they finally gave me a new 1. Since I had to be at work at 4pm, my wife took it to Lakeline to have it ghost armorded. Of course the bad luck continues, and they don't have the armor. So they only did the front. She tried to get me a case, but it's too new and nobody has 1. So annonying. I get the back next week, but I have to go back to Lakeline. Shoot me....

      I had a IPhone for 2.5 years though. Never used aps except Words with Friends, and Direct TV to record.

      What? We performed at Lucy's bar last night in New Orleans. However I have performed with Destiny's Child when I was I'm college at a Dallas Cowboys game.

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Lol. My bad. I Misunderstood you. Thought you were performing at SB. That's awesome about Destinys Child, and I bet Lucy's was 2. I was trying to make it to wings n more b4 halftime. Told my wife they must not show some parts of the haltime show. Oops. My bad bro. Checked out your youtube video on 6th street. It was cool.

  12. Going to be looking out for Juiceman at halftime. His band the Boss Street Brass Band. Will be performing. What a honor...

  13. Finally bought a tank. Ended going with an 180g. Not a whole setup, so I got work to do. First off, I need to find a way to get it from Dallas. Then I need a stand and canopy. Thinking about shutting down a few of my tanks.

      Thanks Grog. I'm pretty pumped about it. I'm planning on doing a build for this 1. Only thing is, I'm still having a difficult time trying to decide which of my 4 current tanks to get rid of.

      You should consolidate everything into the 180! Save $$ and will fill up faster

    4. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Yeah, that's my plan. It would really help with the 2 things you mentioned. That's my reasoning.

  14. Some real nice items up for eBay this week at AAF. I had to pick up what I won last week, and checked out this weeks items. Dad and me picked up some nice Blastos, Ricordia's , and Zoa's.

      yellow and a rainbow looking one. Very nice colors. Whats the deal with their ebay? Sometimes when i search for listings with their name, nothing shows up..

    4. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Awesome. That yellow 1 stood out to me. They only have them once a week. It will be some more on there midweek. Pretty addicting huh? I think I've had my fix for awhile. Lol.

  15. Made my 1st bids on AAF on EBAY. I'm addicted already. Got 8 things at a great price.

      Matt's corals are great! Always look like the pics.

  16. Moved around corals in Biocube. Must have had some reaction to it. Tank looks cloudy and some are bleached white. Zoas/palys/shrooms/richordia already bouncing back. Sps and frogspawn still looking bad. Only tips of frogspawn. Heads starting to come out. Glad I didn't put new colony in it.

    1. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Frogspawn not responding too good yet.

  17. Anyone use or know of a good business lawyer? Myself and other members of my orgnaztion are thinking of taking action against our employer, and I don't know where to even start. I'm guessing Better Business Association, and going from there. Pretty sure our rights have been violated.

      Are you a member of a professional association? If so I would start with them.

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      No unfortunately I'm not. Not union either. We have another company who is over our HR. Also we have an Ethics commission. We'll start there. Also was provide a name of a lawyer from a member on here. We are supposed to find out more Mon., so I guess we'll wait till then. The number of plaintiffs grew today. Our vac starts over Jan. However, since we are being prorated, they decided to count Jan as last qtr. Didnt sit too well with folks.

  18. Heart broke.. Was extended another month at work. Had plans already. Maybe my plea to HR will set me free.

      What's PTO? Whatever it is I'll try it. Last time they extended me, I took LOA for a month. Only came back due to some hiccups in paperwork. My Dr. wasn't releasing my info. Went unpaid for a month. Figured I better get back to work with my wife's BDay and CMAS coming up. I got approved the day I returned to work. FML. Got a DR. apt scheduled for next week. LOA look out. HR not making acceptation 4 me. I have to wait till Feb.27th. Might accommodate me with shift change.

      Got it. Personal Time Off. We call it PBA here. Personal Business Allowance. They are only giving me prorated time, due to closure of building. I usually get 4 weeks of vac, 2 weeks of pba, and 1 week of floating, but they only giving me like 5 days total.

  19. Hope my Orange Sun Coral that I got in this weekend starts looking better. Not looking too hot..

  20. I'm done with Romo.... Tired of supporting him just because he is a Cowboy. He can't win the big 1. If he was on another team, I would say he is horrible. Time to accept it, and stop sugar coating it...

      Yup....with ya on this one. Finally gonna take my head outta my butt and admit the obvious.

  21. Hoping Manziel makes history as 1st Freshman QB.

  22. Has anyone ever been to the IBOC church in Dallas? 57,000 gallon aquarium inside. Seen it on tanked. Looks pretty awesome, but from the articles I read seems to have caused a lot of controversy due to the upkeep and 40 mil it cost to build it.

      The only explanation I saw was on Tanked. Pastor said all the different species living together shows unity. I can see why some members would be upset at giving tithe.

      I'm sure other churches have a full time marine biologist like they do.

      David Aldredige is reporting that LA has 2 meetings scheduled with the 2 Mike's as due diligence, but Phil is overwhelming choice and is willing to come back. Best Sat in awhile.

      Yeah, for sure. I picked them over Chi. Going to be an awesome game.

  24. Been wanting a bigger tank for awhile. Wasn't really finding what I wanted locally, so I decided to start looking at Hou/Dal. Why did I do this to myself? They have so much to choose from. Fell in love with this 150gal that is loaded.

  25. It's official. New chapter starts in my life Nov.28th. Been granted my release from Dell. Been a roll coaster of a ride for 13 years.

      While I understand the roller coaster issue, was in semiconductors for 14yrs, aren't you worried about finding another job?

      Been knowing about it for over 5 years. Been saving. Have 3 different careers lined up with Young and Pratt if I choose that direction. Really thinking about starting up own business and being self employed. I get a package and unemployment as well. I've been unhappy there for awhile, and I couldn't live like that. I'm 34, so I think I'm young enough to try to find something that suites me.
