    I’m back!

    in Welcome

    Hello reefers! I just couldn’t stay away. I set up a new 10g cube last weekend.  I plan on *trying* to keep it simple with softies and LPS.  I’m excited to be back in the hobby and in the ARC community again. I’ve missed it! Looking forward to the journey with you! IMG_1714.jpeg

    Mdavis came over again today and helped me get a bit further towards completing the tank cabinets and framing it out. He faked a cough all day and said he was allergic to sawdust and made me do all the cuts but he's a measuring robot so I let it go.

     

    It's starting to really come together! I'll have to do some spackling and sanding to be ready for the final day when we get the cabinet doors up.

     

    Also, my wife already vetoed the square corners so I'll have to replace the top board to go all the way to the side boards. No corners for this guy.

    On the corners, as a comprise can you have a cool diagonal dovetail joint? If it exist... You get the idea

    Its only because my SPS are ugly right now with the lighting change and adding fish back in. It'll be all acros again soon enough!Thanks Sissy! I tried to play with other effects this time. Amateur wanna-be video guy. emoji51.png

    You make excellent videos,  always have. That should be a subject at a meeting, how to make Videos.

    For future fish additions a school of cardinals is really nice. I love the way they school and when one gets left behind you can see the panic as he searches and catches up with the others. It's fun to watch. Wow. That makes me sound a little sinister

    Also, LOVE the Diablo

    My First Skimmerless System

    Well, there are certainly some individuals that are pleased to see you do so.  I'm curious what your thought process was in making that decision?

    My nitrates were steadily climbing and got higher than my liking and the algae was increasing and it just looked dirty. I'm positive the last two are because I also took out my uv filter. My tank has been a bit neglected since Angel left. I'm doing weekly water changes now but lost track for a while there. In addition I have trouble letting everything balance out in time. It scares me. You have quite a few years of experience over me! If I loose this tank I'll never be able to replace it now. [emoji29]

    It's perfect for you're tank! It adds interest without taking away from the aquarium

    In my case I have to convince my husband it doesn't take much money and actually makes money. Yeah, time to get creative. But I'm psyched that this came together for you! Every reefers dream :)

    Too many is the first problem. But it helps me not think and deal with my PTSD. First off, I'm an aspiring cook/ butcher working to become a chef one day. I love the culinary industry in Austin.

    Of course, Reefing. I also try and maintain an heirloom garden in my backyard. But it's currently put on hold. Because the wife and I are always arguing about watering the garden. Lol, she agreed she would water and I would maintain and upkeep. Didn't go as planned. But it's one of my favorite things to do. I have a wood shop in my garage. I build furniture, but only when I need it. I tried selling custom furniture. But people complain too much how expensive it is.

    I go to the gym Monday through Friday. Again, another way of coping with my past. Those are the main things I try and focus on. Aside from honey do's and what not. I love to hunt and love building Guns. But it's something that takes time. Building Guns doesn't require a lot of time. It requires money lol. So I don't really consider it a hobby.

    I'm in the same PTSD boat, among other things. It does help to keep busy. I love cooking too and especially baking. I inherited some awesome old cookbooks from my grandmother and they are very inspiring. And challenging! Lots of details are left out the majority of the time. I thought of pursuing a bakery business but I'm afraid I won't enjoy it if I have to do it full time. Commitment issues too. Kudos to you for setting that goal. Keep me updated.

    What kind of game do you enjoy hunting?

    I know this thread is old and all but forgotten but I'm new and I want to play smile.png

    My hobbies are photography, making homemade body scrubs, lotions, ect., and baking. I really need to lay off the baking. Noah has gained 20 pounds since April! I love to bake though so to get it out of my system maybe I'll bring something to the meeting (s) if that's OK.

    I also love science: Space, ocean (duh), genetics... those are the big ones. Noah and I emerse ourselves in nerd on a daily basis. We love to theorize about time travel, black holes, worm holes, undiscovered life, on and off the planet.

    I'm also a huge Trekie, TNG. But I have a great respect for the original series, I just don't watch it as much.

    This may bother some of you, but I also love Star Wars

    I seriously think I'm the biggest nerd I know, Noah next wink.png

    I have an 11 year old daughter who somehow enrolled herself in 3 science classes this year, you all definitely sound right up our alley. We're star wars, star trek, firefly, red dwarf, and just about any other sci fi nuts as well.

    Haha! Three science classes! That's awesome. I hope you have a hefty college savings plan. I plan on getting rich sometime in the next 13 years. [emoji12]

    Otherwise it's nice knowing I'm among like-minded!
