  1. As you guys can tell hopefully. I don't know everything and hopefully I don't try and act like it. I am only capable of learning everything.

    I have lots of answers I am looking for. I have mentors that all have doctorates and I call them up at least once a week.

    George Strait said it best "Sometimes I feel like Jesse James, Still trying to make a name, Knowing nothings gonna change what I am, I was a young troubadour, when I rode in on a song, Ill be an old troubadour, when I'm gone."

  2. I feed every other day and I alternate from blended shrimp and squid that I froze and made, and reef number 2 or mysis shrimp. Some cycolopeeze added every other day and Kent for invert and corals every 3 days. I add sinking pellets whenever I feel like everyone is looking for food. I target feed the corals and my skunk shrimp loves getting in from of my pipette and collecting all he can as fast as he can. My goby will charge the pipette (he hasnt grasped it yet) and I just make sure my hawkfish gets enough meat since hes picky and a loner.

    Im cleaning my eheim out once a month. Skimmer once a week to 1.5 weeks. I have prefilters on everything so I clean them as needed

    This is what I found works for me, early on I fed everyday and my nitrates were high so I moved to every other day, and have kept at that. Seems to work fine for me.

  3. Who saw that giant mandarin? Aquadome just got (I believe its new) its in the coral tank 2nd from bottom....he is huge!

    Pat apparently has a mandarin that "went over the waterfall" haha like the two clownfish stuck in refugium

  4. So picked up a Tiger Pistol Shrimp today...Thanks Teri and Hunter I hope you got to finish your burger hunter if not I'll bring a warm one next week.

    I was thinking when you snatched that pistol shrimp if he said something along the lines of "**** you goby you were supposed to be looking out for me."

    He's still here are work with me 3pm-11pm I'll let you know if he finds his new best friend.

  5. Sorry,

    I took his rock that he tunneled in and put it in a container of fresh dechlorinated water he never came out immediatly like he was suppose to and after 30 minutes I put the rock back in the tank and figured I'd try again later...and I could see his lifeless tail sticking out. He was stuck in the tunnel, so I dont know if he tried to go out a different way and couldnt fit. I'm sure the sharp change in salinty killed him, but he was supposed to come out immediatly

  6. So Hunters extraction process for the pistol shrimp did not work out so well, and I'm pretty sure he died in the sense that he wasnt moving, I havent seen him and I couldnt get him out of the rock. lol and not hunters fault or am I trying to blame him btw Do you have any pistol shrimps that will pair with my pink spot, Hunters thinks the one he sold me was a Atlantic Pistol...He was very dark maroonish and had a small big claw

  7. Get it....a play on the "whats in your wallet" jingle

    So what did everyone walk away with besides high cholesterol and possibly diabetes from those mint cookies.

    I picked up a Bubble Tipped Anemone

    Red Finger Sea Fan Thanks again KimPx100

    Blue and Brown Monitpora

    Pulsing Xenia

    Chateo

    GSP

    A Mag-Float

    Frogspawn

    And a ClownFish jk he was a swap from the LFS the other one came down with the clownfish disease, I took him before he died so prayers for a speedy recovery

    I picked up a single dose of Coral RX One Shot

    Like I told Kevin (great class BTW) now that I know its wrong and the dangers I cant play ignorant anymore

    I also found amusement to the analogy of it being "like having unprotected sex with everyone's fish tanks"

    Congrats to all the raffle winners maybe next time for us other folks but otherwise with the amount of stuff in my bucket, the great company and day

    I have nothing to complain about except having to rush up to Round Rock for 4 hours of work on the start of my day off. Glad to have met the few ppl I did, and if I didn't introduce myself my apologies, I'm not really comfortable around crowds of ppl the German Shepherd is but not me. So thanks for everything
