Have fun! And yes, the 'Nucks have to start playing better. This win one/lose one crap is no fun. Most of the other teams are fighting for a playoff spot and playing with an edge. We don't really have to give-er so much and it's showing in their play. Not to worry though, they'll get it done when they need to.

Was a great game today, I am positive there was more Canuck fans in the place then King fans, place went wild every time the Nucks scored, hope tomorrows game is even better.

Well we made it home from our epic weekend LA road trip to some bad news, the Idol was found dead on Sunday morning, kids were devastated as he was the new favorite, no idea what happened, apparently he ate Saturday night with everyone else and was found Sunday laying on the bottom, I looked him over and there is no signs of trauma and they said nobody was bothering him so a little confused and upset as to what happened. :(

Aww that sucks! He was such a beautiful fish.

Damn! Very sorry to hear this Dave.

Sorry to hear this. Moorish Idols sure are touchy fish :neutral:

very frustrating as all has been going so well with that tank and he seemed to be fitting in fine and eating well, even took extra care with acclimation and introduction, never fails seems it is always the favorite fish or coral that goes first if something isn't right, doing water changes today as the reef is not looking so hot either, looks like the good intentions of my loving wife and the feed extra so they grow lots while he is gone plan didn't exactly pan out, don't know exactly how much went into the reef but the seahorses had way too much. That will teach me for going away and having a good time.

Thats too bad Dave. Its really $hitty when you lose nice fish. Hope the trip was good otherwise.

Just a suggestion but whenever I ask someone (a non-reef someone) to feed my tank, I always portion everything. Every day's (dry) food is in a film cannister marked with the day. I don't feed wet while I'm away but those who do usually are feeding cubes so that's already portioned.

This has the added advantage that I can be sure that no days were missed.

I'd like an idol one day (I'll call him Billy...Billy Idol !) but all the stories from those far more experienced than I leave me wondering if it will ever come to be.

Came home from work tonight, 4 dead fish and the rest covered in velvet, WTF, everyone was fine last night and there has been no changes to the routine in 2 years, no recent additions and no warning to the pending disaster. If I suffer a total wipe out tank will be shut down, anyone wanting large pieces of live rock drop me a line, I will leave tank run fallow for a few months to ensure no parasite transfer, watch for the for sale thread, cheers all.
