no kidding man, i was super stoked been smiling all day .....i dont buy a whole lot of stuff for my tank and after finally getting back on track financially after 2 mths i was happy to finally see something i liked....so i put aside $300, cleared my schedule for tomorrow and well....ya

on the plus side i just got a new tank :twised::twised: well not new new but new to me its a 75g cube?? lol 24 x 24 x 30h

now what to do with it??

it comes with a matching stand and canopy, needs to be drilled though:P

haha and a new FREE tank at that :twised::twised::twised::twised:

can anyone say anemone tank!!!

Yes, yes it does. My mom died of cancer when I was 15, turned me in to a very dark person for many yrs. Hang in there Laurie, your a tough lady, have a great dude to help you & support from many corners of your life. If you need to vent call, txt, e-mail or PM me anytime.

I think I need another beer to straighten my head out before i do anything else stuipid.

decided to set up a spare 20g i had around as a "temporary" holding tank for some of the things in my attached 20 gal that i am switching out for my old 40. so i gets it filled with what water i have laying around, then since its not full yet<need more water> dump a salt bucket full of old fairly rinsed sand into the tank too.:scatter:

yeah lets make it a dsb tank so we can see how fast it rots out this time if i treat it nice :boom:..

glug glug glug

Kind of glad the main tank lights went out as thats my signal to not play in it

Holy poop batman! Just realized my 165 gal have been running for almost 2 yrs.................and I don't think I have really been happy with it from day 1.

Your boss must be a total slave drive & own a Dalorian time machine to get that many hrs a day out of you.

i knowright i was building my 90 wheni first read your thread and helped you get that pump .. time flies indeed

Do you still need a new keyboard or what?

That pump was for my FOWLR that I set up just after the 165 gal & I still have the pump :biggrin:

regretfully i am stuck with this pos netbook with keys that dont work 99 percent of the time.

yes i sent you that odessea one but also found the reflow from dareefguy for the 165

i can honestly say it is worse too scrape paint off of glass that it is to watch paint dry

One of my Dad's favorite saying's.....you can bull**** people some of the time but you can't bull**** people all of the time. :wink:

unless you deliver manure for a living.

Give it to me :twised:

Thanks Greg the doctor told my Mom that Chris probably wont make it to Monday :cry: Going over to my Mom's later this morning to visit.

Thanks everyone, unfortunately Chris (my step-dad) lost his battle with cancer and passed away this morning :cry: On my way to be with my family now.

Sorry for your loss Laurie. :(

:( im not very religious but after my granmother died and she raised me she was my mother in a sense, i like to believe shes in a better place she was very sick last going off and was on oxygen, her death was hard on the family:(

So very sorry for your loss Laurie.

Thanks everyone

Sorry for your loss Laurie.

bahaha ok so ive never actually bought a new maxi jet in the box well the new version anyways lol and well first thing i notice is it doesnt have instructions for the maxi jet instead it has assembly instructions for a remora skimmer???? besides the actual pump it comes with a load of accessories in fact besised the pump it comes with 15 different pieces lol i know how it goes together but i just thought it was funny lol im assuming the remora instructions was a mistake?? lol


i also got a pair of pipe fish and a really cool zoanthid colony off denis at golds for dirt dirt cheap hehehe;P

My wife and i are having a baby girl we found out today :mrgreen:

10 yrs you'll be buying a shot gun.:twised:

Congrats!

Denny I know Calgary feels like Siberia but were up to a balmy -9 today, time to pull out the shorts!

too late i just did the trot to golds in a tank top and shorts lol i will say this though working outside from 6am to 6pm everyday this week sure seperates the men from the boys lol

i got a frag of nukes here for you too levi, whenever your free let me know and ill see if i can shoot them over to you.

i had a frag of purples too one for you and one for me but my orage spot goby has buried them in the sand, sad about that one but thats life i guess lol

This is way...later, but I just read your post, Sorry for your lost, Laurie.
Tim and I are thinking of you today.

Ugh smells good down here, the one that never agrees with me on anything just threw a half full bottle of prime at the door to the mancave.

delicious

on the other hand i might not have anything holding me back from an upgrade soon.

Good thing the door was closed :twised:

ew thats gotta smell ripe. prime stinks something fierce..

I forgot how saltwater tasted as its been a long time until about 1/2 hr ago as I decided to sifon and clean one of the tanks and voila a big gulp swallowed dirty salt water from my tank.eeeeeyyyyyyy as I am chocking to spit it out with no luck but very loud my wife and kids rushing downstairs seeing what is all the commotion about with no help from them as they stair at me laughing out loud :lol::lol:
well at the end of the drama I had to but nothing else to join them as we all started :lol::lol::lol::lol:
Lessen learned don't take the easy way out as in the past I use a pump to start the siphon..

had it happen once i use cleartubng now and never let the water get that close to the end. on the flip side if you had a sore throat they do say gargle with salt water

I gagged so hard that gave myself a sore throat:biggrin:
