Returned from vacation of 2 weeks.
Main acro centerpiece must have been knocked over on day 1, and a chalice soon after.
Tank is cloudy and a lot of dead corals.
Of course, the tank I don't give a Sh17 about is thriving.
/sigh
Leaving for vacation in 3 days.
Haven't had a concern for anything for 3 months+.
In past 24 hours, as we're prepping to leave....
Dogsitter has scheduling conflict.
Return pump on main tank blows out.
ATO on secondary tank blows out.
Washing machine breaks, full of water, of course.
Boat...
Per meeting discussion I mentioned that I’d post how I cook steak.
So. First I snag a steak or two. These were on sale at S&S dirt cheap. Usually I go for well marbled prime cut (or at least choice).
Then pull them out of packaging, drop them on a rack, and salt the heck out of them, both...
Got a rock with 2 big and poppin SKBs and one moderate sized teenager.
Let's say $100 for the rock, which seems like an average price for 1 large SKB, or make an offer.
BTW, the rock is small - they secured on it as it was in a corner.
Under blues for the pic (obviously). That's my thumb on the...
So Sunday night I listed a few kayaks for sale, including a pretty much brand new Vibe Yellowfin 120 with a load of upgrades.
This kayak retails at about $1,100 and I've got an additional $400 or so sunk into the upgrades.
The Title of the post is:
'Vibe Yellowfin 120 (mint condition)'
The...
Heya all.
So, I'm converting one of the tanks into a solid SPS tank, but I need to clear some stuff out and add some stuff in.
One of the adds is some live rock, pretty darn clean stuff, but has been in storage for a few years.
I dropped a few pieces into my working tanks, each has about 50...
So I've decided to pull the majority of sand from my main display.
This is done for 3 reasons:
1) I was stupid enough to get another pistol shrimp, and he likes blocking his doors with corals.
2) I can't catch the m*&^er%((&er.
3) I've actually always wanted to try a bare bottom.
Plan: Do a 2g...
Cant catch the SoB. Going to start pulling some sand from the tank so he cant bury anything else. Plus I’d like to try a tile bottom with zoas all over.
Yeah, it was a good film.
Not as good as Empire, but it was good.
Oh, yeah, there ws this 60 piece orchestra playing live along with the film.
That was sorta OK too.
A few weeks back I adopted a sea hare from Madreefer. It was doing quite well eating both nori and GHA. I'm watching it go to town on some rocks and nori on Sunday night around 9-10pm and Monday morning at 7 it's dead, this is after weeks of no problems. No water change, no chemicals added, all...
So, buzzing and bored. Been off booze for ages and had a Manhattan and 3 beers at a business meal and everything is going downhill
So, I've regressed.
Thinking of childhood TV, back when there were 5 channels.
Kroft Superstars. Speed Buggy, Schoolhouse Rocks, Groovie Ghoulies, etc...
Subjected...
So, one of my clowns, which seemed perfectly healthy and eating last night, and seemed OK this morning, was on the bottom attracting snails this afternoon, no apparent injuries or visible sickness.
He was about 4-5 years old and seemed quite well, at least until the dead part.
All other fish...
Having allergies, about 2 weeks back I replaced my car cabin air filter, which is behind the glovebox in cars, with a high end anti-allergen one, which I do every mid-winter.
A high end filter costs around $25, though you can get a normal one for $10, and it takes about 3 minutes to install (my...
So, hit up Petco in Brick yesterday.
Prices, as with everywhere else, are nuts on livestock, it seriously is getting ridiculous.
I really think that this hobby is going to generate home breeders at some point (though Eric has the head start on that (E - Clownfish are doing fantastic!))...
