      Thank you for highlighting perhaps one of the only benefits of being single :)

  2. watching seahorses learn to eat from the trough is painstakingly slow

  3. Getting the itch to do some tank re-arranging.

  4. So I know the solution for my heat problem (an 86 degree - and rising - house with no ac): ice cream and a ten lbs bag of ice for the fish; now I've just got to figure out one for the dogs . . . .

      I like those ideas - especially the one that is free ;). I'm thinking it might be time to buy a window ac since this is the 3rd time this year I've had problems with my central air!

  5. Tolerance also means not stepping on a cockroach when you easily can.

  6. Selling off my tank (my clown, especially) is killing me and Wifey...

  7. Anyone wanting to go to Port A but still doesn't have accommodations? Come join me and Patrick (Subsea) in an RV! We'll be parking right on the beach near the Jetty. There's room for one (or two if you share a bed) more. $200 for the entire weekend!!! Message me asap.

  8. Bought a LTA at the dome on Saturday...it looks healthy, but not wanting to attach. I build a fort of rocks around it to keep it from turning over, and turned off my power heads....Do they like rocks or sand? any advice?

    1. Teresa

      I think LTAs are more into sand. But really their preference will probably be mostly based on lighting and flow. I think its a good idea you turned your power head off for now, but don't be surprised if it takes a trip around the tank once you turn it back on.

  9. Can I reuse saltwater sand in a freshwater set up if I rinse it really well? The sand has been sitting dormant for 6+ months.

      well shoot - does aragonite come in a fine form like sand? I know it looks like sand - just want to make sure its not sand made of aragonite - the bag is long gone. hummm

  11. Pipefish just had babies! Keeping them in a nursery.

  12. Finally home with the Wife and Baby, after what seemed like forever in the Hospital. Thanks everyone.

  13. AC is out, aquariums are almost at 90 degrees (except the one with chiller - thx God for chillers!). I've turned out the lights, adding aeration, I don't have any clip on fans - anything else I can do to cool them down?

      Thanks for all the comments and support. The tanks all survived and fortunately the ac was just acting up for that one hot day. 'course by the time the maintenance guy got to my house at midnight, the ac was cooling again and he wouldn't even look at it! Been fine since though.

  15. You know what would be cool? If we could tag people in our posts. This way, if someone references me in an older post, I'll know and can respond in a timely manner. Can we do that??

    1. Teresa

      Teresa

      yup - that's exactly what I was thinking ^^^^ thanks C Lo

  16. Had a great collection on Mustang Island catching pipe fish.

  17. Can't stop looking at tank.... must clean house.

  18. So to run the Phosban 150 it says to only run however many grams of phosban per X amount of gallons of water.. this may be a dumb question but does it matter how much since it is tumbling in the reactor anyway??

    1. Teresa

      Teresa

      So phosban shouldn't tumble, but GFO should?

  19. random question - I connected the LEDs in my Biocube hood to the wrong adapter. They were on for a bit then turned off. If I find the right adapter will they start working again?r

    1. Teresa

      Teresa

  20. Hey - how do I purchase a premium membership on a renewal basis? I didn't have the cash on hand when mine was up for renewal but I do now. Do I have to pay $30 in the store or is there a way to pay the $25 annual fee???

  21. 20g tank with a couple of Clownfish and some inverts for sale on CL for $1,000. Maybe I should sell my tank to buy that 100ft yacht I've always wanted.

  22. Added another reefer to the family today. My 11 yr old daughter has been bugging me for a reef tank for months and my wife has been the one saying "no". Yesterday, she gave in and I was able to give my 29g Biocube to my daughter for her Bday. This also opens the door for another QT tank down the line as that was my QT...

  23. Still looking for roommate . . .
