      Careful, this might be an attempt to get a bunch of us together to move a tank or rinse sand

      I'll move a tank. Rinsing sand is right out. Even for Chuy's on Mark.

      How did Richard L know I'm breaking down a 180 on Sunday and will need help?

      so I guess u didn't want me to get it built?

      I knew you'd be back! Man, they let anyone just waltz back into this state after they leave.

      When can we expect to be graced by your presence and will you have time to socialize with the little people?

  4. Dropping into town for an initial tank build consultation. Party @ Robb's house!!

      Sweet! I've got some awesome top down tanks we can stare at.

  5. Just flew over part of Texas. I was a Texan again for about 5 mins!

      Is there a veterinarian in the house? Cause my tank needs a prescription for more cowbell!

      I think you need me, Rory, or RChavez, not a veterinarian...

  7. While at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, fishypets came out of the closet and told everyone he really wanted a planted tank.

      Mark are you still bitter about that time I kicked you out of my house for "Loving" on my Pug? You Pug lover.

      Oh, another pug reefer. We've got 2 pugs. Our old one died last year, still sad about it.

      Victoly wins this round.

  8. In case anyone is thinking of a bigger tank, I definitely recommend one 8 feet long. I'm constantly amazed how much chill my tangs are in a big tank

      Imagine how happy they would be in a 10' tank. Maybe time for an upgrade.

    3. mcallahan

      mcallahan

      I think I'll wait until they grow and start causing problems before I upgrade Richard L. I never knew tangs cause problems when they got large. I haven't seen the scientific data on it so I'll have to rely on anecdotal evidence for now. Watch for an update in the future...

      It could be a series of episodes for you discussing the median age and size for sexual maturity of the species we keep. Don't forget to give me credit :-D

  9. Thanks to Robb for the post-MACNA detox. I feel much better now.

      Is that like owning a 286 in the pentium era?

  12. If Robb suggests Chuy's for a meet and greet while I'm in town, I'm going to get upset.

      Please gather enough from Hydro Timfish, setup camera, film and let me know how they taste!

  19. Headed to California next weekend. I'll let everyone there know they aren't welcome in ATX.

      They all just got back there from SXSW, so I'm sure they won't want to come back until at least ACL

      How long is the job and how much are you paying? It's been 22 years but camera work shouldn't have changes too much.

  21. Germany, PNG, Hawaii...enough traveling for 1 year?!
