      that's a bummer all the way around.

      PM me about your tank and let's get to the bottom of it!

      Very sorry for your losses. I could live with my tank crashing but having my dachsie leave me would be extremely upsetting.

  2. Almost have everything moved into my cube that I want to keep.

  3. Been away from the board for a while. Life happens, and when it rains it pours. I hope to get caught up on what's going on here. I'll have to post the updates to all the tanks, as well as the new one were FINALLY getting up and running today. Yay!

  4. debating on putting sand in my frag tank, and pondering how to do a WC on it with pods swimming everywhere.

      *face palm* I see what you mean. The setup is a 7.5 gallon barebottom, with a large colony of zoas, and the rest is rocks with gsp, and a bunch of other things scattered around the tank. I have a modded AC fuge on the back, that is packed with macro and cheato, but a lot of the pods are in the DT all over the frags and walls.

  5. feels triumphant to have found a foster for a very pregnant Staffie. :)

      OMG staffies are the sweetest "Bulls"

  6. Finally moved my big catfish back to his tank after being mauled and healed. AND he's eating again. So relieved.

  7. Finished my Powerpoint presentation and sent it to my interviewer who "wanted to see more of my work" as he continued interviews.... Hope that's a good sign.

      I just had one of my coworkers look it up for me, and it looks like we stopped the offer on 8/15. Otherwise I may have been able to help :( If I hear of it again, I will totally let you know.

  9. Going to pick up some goodies after work. When I asked if I needed my transport bucket, the reply "I have a 48 gallon tank you can have and use as a transport container". Holy moly I'm excited.

      I found someone that I guess is moving this week, and with their work needed to have everything gone tonight to tear the tank down. Not sure what to expect, aside from what I had inquired on, just a little fish, but they had some corals, and I just don't know what. Not sure what to expect, but 6pm can't come fast enough.

  10. Had a surprise interview today. Keeping fingers crossed. Now to start on my stand. I know I have tons of wood around the garage...

      I fell in love with this one up at RC, and they started to get the other one, and I said wanted this one bc he looked really good and healthy. They had to take all the coral out of the tank, (something new they started) and chase him around. I am in awe of him. He is constantly munching away. On a side note, I didn't know that something so small could have big bright green poo. His competes in size with my Jack Dempsey.

    3. KaceyJ

      KaceyJ

      yeah, as long as you have algae he will eat, try feeding him flakes, the last one i had ate all the algae, so i started trying flakes and other things. He got to wear he would just eat the flakes from my fingers. I prefer it that way, i hate to just let food loose in the tank

    4. KaceyJ

      KaceyJ

      well most times, when something is already dying hermits will just eat the dead part (thats probably why they are all over them).

  20. Ok, so I posted an ad on CL basically saying the same thing. A mystery person somehow pulled her information, and now I have her work address, home address, DL #, history of her car... it's amazing the workings of the interweb. Kinda scary. Thanks for all the support guys! It's much appreciated.
