yeah thats a total bummer. I havent lost a fish in a long time until I tried a tailspot blenny before I got my scooter. the tailspot didnt fair to well, I lost him in less then 24 hours due to poor acclimation. I was sooooo bummed, ask Steve lol.

Seriously?! One day back to school after the holidays and now my youngest is home with pink eye?!

maybe one of the older ones farted on the pillows ;)
Just kidding
That sucks my little brother had pink when he was 6.. seems like a very big discomfort.

And my daughter is home with an ear infection, and my son with stomach cramps (albiet he seems fine now).

:sad: Sorry to hear

Sorry to hear this. It really sucks to lose a fish, especially a favourite.

This was the best pic I could get oh it too, it seemed to take off the minute the camera come out but it would almost eat right from my hand, almost.

^^^^^ one smart shrimp haha:)

The comments left by the morons that plague youtube are WAY funnier than nearly all the videos that inhabit it!

having one of those..... i think im biting off more than i can chew days..

feeling a bit over whelmed and i havent even started the build yet.

Try building 8' 300 gal tank, custom stand, DIY LEDS :razz:

the stand is cake for you...mr master welder... lol but yeah i think once i get im ablelto actually do and not think illbe better off. too much over thinking

and frustrated that things i could use to save me some cash is to far away and ppl no wanna ship..... curse you murphy

Best thing to do is not to over think it, I too have seen thing I would like for sale but people don't want to ship. Murphy is a jerk.

:mad: :bad-word: :frusty: :mad2: :censored: :censored: :censored: So annoyed my pistol shrimp was all the way of his hidey hole, ran and grabbed the camera got to the tank....surprise he's still out and in a perfect picture taking spot.....lift the camera up and zoom....faster then the speed of light he's back in the hole!!!!!!!! :evil:

4 more days til' I start my new Career!! finally. I am so glad to be done school, its such a PITA school in the day work at night, stay up all night with the kid, never see the family.. starting next week I'm on days at my new job! couldnt be happier:mrgreen:

congats man!

Thanks! yes sir' no more bottom of the food chain for me! :lol:

Moving to the middle like the rest of us :biggrin:

^ Exactly! Now I can afford Diapers, and coral! lol

Excellent, another broke working stiff :mrgreen:
Congrats

lol the brightside---I'm not going to be as broke as I am now lol

i royally poed my 90g tonight decidedto tear off a bunch of palys and now it looks like a spider made a nest in my tank lol oops

Fragging?

I fragged some zoos yesterday, same thing jizz everywhere.....Not mine:redface::lol:

Anyone on this thread a Habs fan, want to have a cry with me? :boom:

cleaning house and preparing the tank slowly for disassembly i thought i would like the paly's but find them annoying now. selling off some corals i care less for and the ones im keeping will end up in the 50 for temp residency. some will stay. this way when i move the tank into our kitchen i can still run it with the fish in it but dont have toworry about corals and lighting.

I just went through your whole 50 gallon build, that was a real trip! thats so cool what you did with the "DIY" rock wall/rock pillar/return! Very creative very clean! I would love to see an update if its still rollin! thats going to be my problem in my new cube is aquascaping! its shallow so it will need shelves me thinks. pillars with shelves

Note to self ...
When ordering from BRS, remember they like to only ship to Canada on Thursday for Friday border crossings.

I placed an order on the 31st that didn't ship until Jan 5th.

most recent pic is the fts 2012 thread

and thank you my new build willbethe sametype of build i hope

Just got about 100lbs of chemicals from BRS. The UPS guy was pretty grumpy when I said thanks as he was trying to run off after their customary doorbell ring and jet. Considering the ups fees this sorta made me feel a bit better haha.

Ya, my UPS guy just dumps stuff in front of the door, hits the bell and bolts. I asked the area manager if this was company policy, and was told that it's up to the Driver's discretion. If they have not had any lost parcels in the area, then have at 'er.
This upset me as the first BRS shipment in question, which was sitting on my front doorstep when I got home that night, cost me nearly $500.00

I had to search the entire condo complex once. Found my box (worth nearly $800 to me) sitting in some tall weeds and grass in the backyard of a unit not even occupied! It happened to be the unit next to me (on the left) so they got close but I began my search walking to the right making it the last place I checked! I was using some colorful language that day! I started hunting after the tracking status changed to DELIVERED TO OWNER. Calling UPS was useless so out I went.

Guess he hid it so nobody could scoop it. Still, it sure gets under your skin.
The wife works afternoons, so she's mostly home when packages arrive if I'm out, but there have been enough times that the doorbell has woken her once too many times on the same morning :redface:

I ordered at $1350 skimmer and some other supplies and told store not to ship. They did anyways. Went away on a long weekend and package was dropped off on a Friday afternoon. Good thing I had asked a buddy to drive by sometime on weekend, he happen to check that day. Good thing as a public walkway goes by my house

A $1350 skimmer would have made a skookum bong for some low life.

Ya I would think a lowlife wouldn't have any clue of the what the stuff is that gets left on our door steps if its anything related to this hobby. Probably would just end up throwing in to a ditch.

Wonder how well a claim would go in that instance if it had gone for a walk
And that's my complaint with UPS, my front door stares straight down the sidewalk to the main road, only about 30 feet away

Thats ridiculous. stupid UPS

Well, there ya go. I wait until I can wait no longer, and go out @ 2:00. I get back just now and sure enough, there's my box @ the door. Good bloody thing none of these have gone for a walk yet.

i refuse to ship ups if i can help it. thier ring and run mentality comes from some childhood prankster running the company. if we where comercial companies we would get more respect but residentail dropoff are in thier eyes a waste of time. i told off the ups guy here one day i doubt ill be getting any better service.

I pretty much have no choice as these orders were coming from BRS
