  1. Frys called me today to tell me that's PS4 will be in Nov.14th. Pretty awesome. That's my bday. Wife was getting upset because she bought it as a present, and I had no ideal when it was releasing.

  2. Frys has buy 2 get 1 free on PS4 games.

  3. Getting prepared for not having a JOB. Picked up Injustice for Wii U 2day. Going to crack it open tomorrow. Watched playoffs, Gangster Squad, and A Haunted House tonight, and ran out of time.

      Yeah, I have so many things that I've put off, that I will be able to do now.

  4. Going to be a great weekend in football. The college schedule looks like a ton of great games. Don't know much about LTech, but think the Ags will be ready. I know Hirbstreet is all over LTech. Hopefully my Cowboys can get their act together too.

      there will be no shutdown in the tamu/latech game. I've take the over at 100.

    4. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      That's crazy if that's the over/under. I have no clue what LTech is about.

  5. Going to be looking out for Juiceman at halftime. His band the Boss Street Brass Band. Will be performing. What a honor...

  6. Going to be looking out for Rory at halftime. His band Boss Street Brass Band will be performing at halftime. What a wonderful experience and honor...

      What? We performed at Lucy's bar last night in New Orleans. However I have performed with Destiny's Child when I was I'm college at a Dallas Cowboys game.

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Lol. My bad. I Misunderstood you. Thought you were performing at SB. That's awesome about Destinys Child, and I bet Lucy's was 2. I was trying to make it to wings n more b4 halftime. Told my wife they must not show some parts of the haltime show. Oops. My bad bro. Checked out your youtube video on 6th street. It was cool.

  7. Going to get my revenge on NCAA14 tonight for ATM. Bama got me by 1 in double OT last time.

      Smashed Georgia with ATM, but then got crushed with FSU against Ohio St.

  8. Gosh, I love this club. The hookups I get here are so sweet.

      Niko's Reef

      LMAO. I felt like that yesterday. Told Julie I felt like I was on a TV show. It was pretty awesome.

  9. Got 100 snails, and 100 crabs for 42.73$. Not too bad.

  10. Has anyone ever been to the IBOC church in Dallas? 57,000 gallon aquarium inside. Seen it on tanked. Looks pretty awesome, but from the articles I read seems to have caused a lot of controversy due to the upkeep and 40 mil it cost to build it.

      The only explanation I saw was on Tanked. Pastor said all the different species living together shows unity. I can see why some members would be upset at giving tithe.

      I'm sure other churches have a full time marine biologist like they do.

  11. Haven't been on ARC as much as I used 2 B. Had time to browse today. I miss checking out the tank builds, reef keeping sections. Didn't even know there is a new section called "What Is This". Pretty cool.

      You know it brother. I replied on yours b4, so I get the updates automatically. Enjoyed the build thread.

    4. Planeden

      Planeden

      ha, ok. i was really joking, but i'm glad for anyone to follow along.

  12. Headed to pick up shark egg. Going to be a cool expiernce.

    1. jestep

      jestep

      You could setup the shark egg webcam. I would definitely start a hatch date betting pool.

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Yeah, its cool. U can see it and the embryo in it. Been wanting to post it, but in the middle of a build with my 185, and still having issues with my job.

    3. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Like the ideal of hatch date pool. Said he had been in there for 3 months. Said he should hatch in 4-5 months. Gives me time to have the fish and stingray established in it.

  13. Heart broke.. Was extended another month at work. Had plans already. Maybe my plea to HR will set me free.

      What's PTO? Whatever it is I'll try it. Last time they extended me, I took LOA for a month. Only came back due to some hiccups in paperwork. My Dr. wasn't releasing my info. Went unpaid for a month. Figured I better get back to work with my wife's BDay and CMAS coming up. I got approved the day I returned to work. FML. Got a DR. apt scheduled for next week. LOA look out. HR not making acceptation 4 me. I have to wait till Feb.27th. Might accommodate me with shift change.

      Got it. Personal Time Off. We call it PBA here. Personal Business Allowance. They are only giving me prorated time, due to closure of building. I usually get 4 weeks of vac, 2 weeks of pba, and 1 week of floating, but they only giving me like 5 days total.

      I got the new setup and 300$'s worth of coral. So tired from it I don't even feel like posting it yet. 1 of the coral rocks I got was so huge, that I had to redo all of my tanks to fit it. The seahorse tank was totally redone, but I love it more now. I'll be posting the new setup soon in tank builds.

  15. Hope my Orange Sun Coral that I got in this weekend starts looking better. Not looking too hot..

  16. Hoping Manziel makes history as 1st Freshman QB.

  17. How long do ya'll run phos ban for? Getting told a few different things.

      If your tank has high level of phosphates then the phosban/phosguard/gfo get saturated in a matter of hours. I am running phosphate remover and observe the algae. If they start getting green I regenerate the phosphate remover, usually about once per 2-3 months.

    4. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      I gave the wrong name. Its phosguard. I'm going to retest the tanks its in tonight. Guess it will be perfect for my tank curing live rock.

  18. I hooked my dad up with a pretty nice 55g setup. When I got home I found a 14g biocube with the matching stand. That just made my day.

    1. Jimbo662

      Jimbo662

      So you added "another" tank to your collection??? :-)

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Indeed I did. Got another 90g today as well. Sold 3 this weekend though.

  19. I'm done with Romo.... Tired of supporting him just because he is a Cowboy. He can't win the big 1. If he was on another team, I would say he is horrible. Time to accept it, and stop sugar coating it...

    1. bimmerzs

      bimmerzs

      Yup....with ya on this one. Finally gonna take my head outta my butt and admit the obvious.

  20. I'm so pumped about ATM's 1st SEC game. Gig Em.

  21. It's official. New chapter starts in my life Nov.28th. Been granted my release from Dell. Been a roll coaster of a ride for 13 years.

      While I understand the roller coaster issue, was in semiconductors for 14yrs, aren't you worried about finding another job?

    2. Niko's Reef

      Niko's Reef

      Been knowing about it for over 5 years. Been saving. Have 3 different careers lined up with Young and Pratt if I choose that direction. Really thinking about starting up own business and being self employed. I get a package and unemployment as well. I've been unhappy there for awhile, and I couldn't live like that. I'm 34, so I think I'm young enough to try to find something that suites me.
