    Anyone looking for WP40's and WP25's give me a holler. Doing a groupbuy. Check out Niko's Reef in Sponsors section.

    Anyone use Jabeo return pumps? Thinking about giving it a try. Can't find any dual loc-line return nozzles locally, so might have to order overseas. Thinking about trying pump if I go that route.

      Did you call Aquadome? They always had a bunch of random loc line parts

    Anyone use or know of a good business lawyer? Myself and other members of my orgnaztion are thinking of taking action against our employer, and I don't know where to even start. I'm guessing Better Business Association, and going from there. Pretty sure our rights have been violated.

      Are you a member of a professional association? If so I would start with them.

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      No unfortunately I'm not. Not union either. We have another company who is over our HR. Also we have an Ethics commission. We'll start there. Also was provide a name of a lawyer from a member on here. We are supposed to find out more Mon., so I guess we'll wait till then. The number of plaintiffs grew today. Our vac starts over Jan. However, since we are being prorated, they decided to count Jan as last qtr. Didnt sit too well with folks.

    Bamboo Cat Shark in 180g?? Wanted a Sting Ray, but that doesnt seem possible. The majority of info that I have read say 180 would work. Any opinions?

      I don't. Thanks for posting it though. I'm going to research it.

      Sorry, but nope. It's at 15635 Vision Dr Ste 111 Pflugerville, TX 78660

      Used to be the Paul Mitchell beauty school. It's getting remodeled, so I won't be able to move in until Nov.1st.

      Then I'll take about another month to get setup. Will be throwing a Grand Opening soon.

      Awesome! Good luck with everything!

  8. Niko's Reef

    Been wanting a bigger tank for awhile. Wasn't really finding what I wanted locally, so I decided to start looking at Hou/Dal. Why did I do this to myself? They have so much to choose from. Fell in love with this 150gal that is loaded.

  9. Niko's Reef

    Been wanting to see Skyfall for months. Tonight the wait is over.

      It was great. Was disappointed in Quantum of Solace, but not this 1.

  10. Niko's Reef

    Can't wait for Nov.28th. Last day at Dell. Put my 13 years in. Time to move on to something bigger and better. Never been unemployed. Going to do that for a month, then decide which way I want to go. Lots of different choices.

    1. Grog

      Grog

      Sounds like you got your mind set right. Make your own path! :) Been 17 years at my job. Ready for a change so I understand! Good luck!!!

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Thanks Grog. Been knowing it would happen for 5 years. Just been waiting for the date. Haven't been happy for awhile, but wasn't leaving empty handed. I volunteered just to get it over with.

  11. Niko's Reef

    Can't wait for Sun. No Kobe/Nash, no excuses.

      I don't think Ginobili will be at full strength, and Parker has really struggled this year. I think Nash will be back, but I don't see him contributing much. Jordan Hill though could be.

    3. FarmerTy

      FarmerTy

      Parker has been amazing, just injured. But I am sure that was Pop's plan to rest him anyways. I don't think the Lakers have a chance. Sorry Niko. I know my Rockets will be pushed right out of the 1st round anyways but I will root like crazy for them.

    4. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      I actually like the Rockets as well, and wouldn't be surprised if they make a series out of it with OKC. Harden will be motivated, and they both play uptempo. LA has a much better chance against SA then against OKC. I think that would have been a sweep or maybe 1 game for us.

  12. Niko's Reef

    Can't wait to get home and set up my Nokia 822. Been using a really outdated phone since I traded my Iphone in.

    1. BBMarlin

      BBMarlin

      You are going to miss all of your high quality IPhone apps

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      I miss a phone period. When I went to activate it, they said it was DOA. Was in the store for a hour and half before they finally gave me a new 1. Since I had to be at work at 4pm, my wife took it to Lakeline to have it ghost armorded. Of course the bad luck continues, and they don't have the armor. So they only did the front. She tried to get me a case, but it's too new and nobody has 1. So annonying. I get the back next week, but I have to go back to Lakeline. Shoot me....

      Niko's Reef

      I had a IPhone for 2.5 years though. Never used aps except Words with Friends, and Direct TV to record.

  13. Niko's Reef

    Craigslist people can be jerks, thank god I found this club. Was supposed to buy 200pds of purple live rock for 200$'s. That's what they asked for. Today I'm getting ready to go grab it, and they said somebody offered them 500$. Kind of fishy somebody would give them 300$ more then what they asked 4. Been listed since the 20th too. They said I had the option to match it, or else if the person offering 500$ backed out they would give it to me then.

      I have sold many a car on CL...hated every experience...my thought on CL are summed up in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAhBHbyTfmM

      Timfish

      I've bought and sold and have been satisfied overall with CL but there are flakes out there who seem to get a kick out of seeing what they can get away with. I refuse to accomodate anybody and if i get any kind of wiff of a game or some kind of pity card being played I'm not having anything to do with them. I also have a dedicated email address for CL and won't give out my # right away.

    4. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Yeah, I deal with craiglist a lot. I bought 3 tanks with livestock off someone 2 weeks ago. I've had really good, adn really bad expierences. I'll continue to do it, but this 1 just got to me. All of he rocks were dark purple at less then 1$ per pound. Can't beat that. I just really need live rock right now, and don't have the time for mine to cure. I'm selling 2 tanks this weekend, and I wanted to give the people a better deal because I know them and want to make su...

  14. Niko's Reef

    Crazy day planned for tomorrow. Breaking down 2 tanks, and bringing in at least 2. Will be posting a Biocube 29 for sell if anyone is interested.

      Yeah it was 4 a bulkhead. Had to go a different route for a sump.

      Niko's Reef

      Thanks 4 looking out for me Bio. I ended going with a different setup. I might need to holler at you in the future for the plug. Its a 1.5". It will be my next project.

  15. Niko's Reef

    Crossing my fingers that the total for the Monday night game is close to 36 points. Down to me and another person who has a total of 47. Would take care of the WII U that I want and my wife the Coach purse she wants. I only missed ARI and GB picks.

    1. jestep

      jestep

      You end up winning? 40 is pretty close.

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      For about a hour. I didn't realize somebody with 2 loses had 39. I thought it was only me and somebody with 47 points predicted. Was a pretty big bummer.

  16. Niko's Reef

    Dallas Cowboys won, but they looked so bad it feels like a loss. Romo and Witten especially. On another note, I called last week to check on the open office space next to Papa John's in Hutto. Realtor was out until Tue. Can't wait to hear from him.

  17. Niko's Reef

    Enjoyed my visit to Neptune's Cove today. Large selections to choose from and top notch service and hospitality.

    1. Juiceman

      Is that San Antonio or Dallas? I know I've been there!

      Niko's Reef

      It's in Plano bro.

  18. Niko's Reef

    Ever since I've seen the sting ray for sale at RCA, can't get it off my mind. Would be really cool to have 1. I love the way the feel. Still remember the smoothness from Georgia Aquarium.

    1. AquaJohn

      AquaJohn

      just think of all

      your rocks coral and sand flying all over the place. and if you dont have a cover wwatch for flying rays

    2. brian.srock

      brian.srock

      Yea I also say the ray at RCA and saw him splash up some water so even if you don't have flying rays you'll have wet floors for sure. But then again, it's a sting ray and no one has it. Looks like it's time for a tank build for you.

    3. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      I'm getting pretty close 2 where I want to be on my 3 tanks. Just a few more corals. 4th is in the works. Said a Tang and lion fish could go in with the sting ray. So, think I'm going to aim for that.

  19. Niko's Reef

    Experienced something amazing, but sad. Seahorse had small batch of fry, but I failed. I'll be better prepared next time.

  20. Niko's Reef

    Finally bought a tank. Ended going with an 180g. Not a whole setup, so I got work to do. First off, I need to find a way to get it from Dallas. Then I need a stand and canopy. Thinking about shutting down a few of my tanks.

      Thanks Grog. I'm pretty pumped about it. I'm planning on doing a build for this 1. Only thing is, I'm still having a difficult time trying to decide which of my 4 current tanks to get rid of.

    3. cMidd

      cMidd

      You should consolidate everything into the 180! Save $$ and will fill up faster

    4. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Yeah, that's my plan. It would really help with the 2 things you mentioned. That's my reasoning.

  21. Niko's Reef

    Finally got a pair of Kuda's yesterday from the Dome. Ready for the new challenge. Can't wait to get the biocube this weekend as well.

    FML. 2 nights ago somehow the power strip that I was holding my fish in during my moving of the tanks got flipped off. Lost my Coral Beauty, Flame Angel, and dottyback. Wish I would have lost any other fish, besides the Beauty and Angel. Was planning on replacing them, but someone kicked in my door while I was at work last night. Luckily my alarm went off and they got scared, but now I have to replace that too.

      Only thing that is still messed up is the alarm. Guess the sensor got messed up.

    For our honeymoon last year, we went to Georgia Aquarium. This year my wife told me that she wants to go to the Corpus 1 for our anny, since we are balling on a budget. How is the Corpus 1?

      ... Why do they serve seafood at aquariums?

    3. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      I don't know why the serve seafood, but I hope it's good. I think I've decided on Corpus. Looking at the Raddison. It's a mile from aquarium, and close to a public beach.

    4. esacjack

      esacjack

      I wouldnt call mcgee or north beach much of a beach... however, it's only 20 minutes to the real beach :) If you get a craving for pizza and beer, there's a place towards the bluff called BJ's pizza and beer... good stuff :D Also, dont forget to try boat-n-net while you're there. It's like In-N-Out for corpus, but shrimp and seafood. Tacobell prices, better than red lobster :)
