      Might grab it on my Bday next week. Just got AC3, MLB the Show 12, College Football 13, and NBA 13 these last few weeks. Had gotten behind with work schedule. Looks awesome though. Thinking of trying it out on the Wii U.

  4. Thought I'd pass this along and see if it'll help with more donations for him. http://joeyslegs.org/Joeys_Website/Home.html

  8. 2 days of armpit deep pulling of the macro algae Dictyota completed. Filter media replaced. Sea Hare added. On the bright size I found a mini carpet anenome hiding behind a rock that I thought was a goner.

  9. Lost my yellow tang mysteriously. Saw him one day then the next my brittle star had a pile of bones he was muching on.

      GHA showing up?

    3. brian.srock

      brian.srock

      I only have a tuff of GHA. It's mainly the film algae

  16. Anyone have any GFO I can borrow? I don't get paid til the 5th and I'll place my order for some HC GFO from BRS but my tank really needs some.

  17. Had a fast algae growth in my tank and after a water change, skimmer cup emptied and carbon filters changed it didn't slow down. Wanted to increase the flow on my return pump and the cover came off instead and it was chocked full of stuff!

    1. dapettit

      dapettit

      run some gfo. TDS of top off water?

    2. brian.srock

      brian.srock

      I'm having some sort of flow issue but haven't been able to place my finger on whats going on yet but at least with all that gunk out of my filter that should help. I'll be buying some GFO shortly.

  18. Why must there be a pet store on my lunch route? Mini Carpet on my desk waiting to go home with me.

    1. (Bio)³

      is it from GOP?

    2. brian.srock

      brian.srock

      Yes since I usually hit up Rudys or Boston Market on that side.

  19. TOTM --Does it exist? Ever since I joined ARC 2 years ago there hasn't been an update to this and I have to go over to reef2reef to see inspiration from the best of the best. I know we have some awesome tanks in Austin so lets start it back up.

      My understanding is we want to start it up again not sure when.

      Maybe TOTQ. Monthly may be pushing it for a small area like Austin, but maybe not.

      We went to a Tank of the Quarter due to logistics. There is a lot that goes on behind the scence. We, the mods, are really spread thin. I know this sounds like a bunch of excuses. We are actively discussing how to make this happen. Check out the FTS thread. You'll find some great looking tanks!

  20. I need a Saltwater Credit Card!

      Yea you've been a big help to me on the hob overflow and return pump.

  24. Does anyone know anyone that works in the banking/financial service sector that I could talk to about my resume?

    1. mcallahan

      mcallahan

      what do you want to know?

    2. brian.srock

      brian.srock

      If anyone is hiring, has referrals, or can go over my resume and let me know what works and what doesn't.

    3. mcallahan

      mcallahan

      the best thing I can tell you to do is to network like crazy. I've never gotten a job I applied for with a resume. It has always been word of mouth.

  25. Lost my job the other day.

      Thanks everyone. I did spend some time on the tank. I have worked for the past 7 years in financial services mainly pre-paid cards doing risk analytics.
