  1. Wait you didn't take something into your planning?
  2. Peppermints need a cold water tank, better off with captive bred masked or clarion angels
  3. Thanks for making all of us look bad with our wiring...
  4. Get rid of the Blue Tang and Emperor. The Blue Tang is the devil... Ty is fish whispering our old YB Blue though Go for a slightly smaller full sized angel. The Bandit we picked up has become my favorite fish in the tank. Personality for days. Even in QT he always seemed to be looking at me like, where my clams at bro?
  5. LOL yeah... when I was younger it seemed to really help with coding, well those type of artists in general. Now I do most of my work during the work day, so mostly the news in on and later in the day I'll put some music on.
  6. LOL changed mine here and on RC (just made a new account >:0) Basically had used Offshore on watch forums back in the day. From Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore series of watches. Watches have been my business for like 10 years now haha Anyway... used to use nuxx on car forms since I was 19. Not sure why I stopped using it. But just decided to go back to that. Thought Offshore might sound like I work offshore or something lol nuxx came from the song "Born Slippy nuxx" by Underworld from a long time ago when I used to really be into electronic music. Really liked the word nuxx for some reason lol
  7. Never got 0% with cars... just 1.7% was the best I did that on my last TV, 0 for 36 months. Paid it off in 4, but still it was a nice option My sister financed her pool... I just can't imagine that. It was a lot of money, but at least I know it's done. My wife gives me crap about my student loans.. but hey they are at like 1%... so I don't worry about them too much. Maybe if I graduated it would be worth it lol
  8. Switching from normal CC's to AMEX was the best thing ever. Have to pay it off every month. Keeps you honest, but you still get points
  9. Haha my wife handles our budget... we work together so it's more than fair. Also she is pretty good with money. When we started dating I had CC debt and spent more on cars than anything else. Fast forward 8 years and we have no debt, just the house and cars financed. Have had 3 houses since then and have always put down large down payments, giving us great equity. Also now I won't finance anything. Sounds funny to have somebody strict on your budget but it works. We even were able to save up and pay to have our pool put in within a year while building up savings... and she still lets me get toys like cars, tanks, etc... Now for me it's more a battle over size and space of the tank. Also if I buy something rare and expensive that dies I might get the "I told you so" :-/
  10. Little bit of everything, mostly online. Work at home with my wife, so its boring and we don't get out much during the work day... but hey let's me keep an eye on the tank all the time.
  11. Always liked those... maybe in the 240
  12. Yeah spotted that last week... was just curious if anyone in Austin had any luck. I'll def. have around a year to read up on it, but I guess it's really a toss up with this fish... well worth it if you can keep it alive.
  13. Got the Skeletor from DD, was a very nice experience... I might look into a UV, I HATE ICK... Also, the yellow was the reason I had to get rid of our sailfin added after the yellow. I'm hoping in an 8' tank, the yellow will leave the Ach. and Blue alone after a few days. My wife wanted the yellow, it makes the trigger seem like a ***** cat...
  14. I've been debating getting an Achilles Tang for the new 240 I'm under way of putting together, but have heard a lot of people saying they are near impossible to keep. I'm just curious if anyone in town has had luck keeping them long term. Do you have any tips? Best size to purchase? How to make the first few days / weeks easier on the fish, etc...? I know I'm going to have to wait at least 6mon / 1 year to even try once the tank is established. Will probably be in the tank with 1 or 2 other tangs (yellow / blue hippo), 2 eels (skeletor / golden dwarf), Niger Trigger, 2 Clowns, some other misc fish / corals / ~ 250-300lb live rock. Thanks
