[humaguy]

I used to dislike you .Now I hate you . LOL. Congrats man thats some awesme fish.

ouch...lol, if you didnt have such beasts in your tank you could get the last one...

 

[humaguy]

damn congratulations man!

is that the one on nya? i'm assuming so, too much of a coincidence..

yeah, they are easy to obtain in Asia...check out the thread about bringing fish home from Japan that is running now...there is a pic of a baby that Koji has...

I wondered who was going to snatch that up! Great fish - I can't wait to see it in your tank!

Which triggers are coming out?

 

[humaguy]

mostly emptying out my additonal tanks...gonna part with one of my queen trigs...a simply beautiful south american-belize- specimen........thanksgiving weekend I plan on pulling the Sohal, now around a foot with streamers, and the two black trigs, Hawaiian and Indian from the big tank...

 

[humaguy]

So, the Interruptus update...
I planned on driving down to Michael to pick her up a couple of weeks ago and to also drop-off a bunch of my trigs that I have had for years (8 trigs, 5 of them are huge, and a 12 inch Red Sea Sohal)
Anyway, he had a problem with heat in the store...102 when he got in for work...tank with the Interrupt was 92...not good for a fish that likes cooler water...
She died before I even got a chance to see her...
The good news is that Michael has such good connections he is hopefully getting some very soon...
Will keep you updated....

 

[geaux xman]

wow that sucks.


you planning on a new line-up for your big tank? seeing that you are doing away with some of the big fish in there.

 

[mdbannister]

Sorry about the loss, dude.

 

[humaguy]

Thanks, but just happy it did not occur under my care...
No new line-up...
2 of the trigs and the Sohal are in the big tank and coming out...other trigs are in 3 other tanks...
the Outrigger trig is ready to come out of qt and go in big tank...

well, a very lousy day here in Ct...I work at a school 15 min away from today's madness...won't discuss politics or rights etc...but, sheesh, some people are so totally effin warped it is beyond scary....thoughts and prayers to all those affected by this insanity...
but...the day started off okay...I had had a talk with some friends a few days ago...about a very small Interupptus that was hand-caught by Koji Wada (the man) and then hand-delivered to Cali...I was told she was an inch and the tiniest they had seen in 20 years....well, luckily it all turned out to be true and she has been acclimating for the last hour....she is tiny,tiny... she is smaller than every Flame angel I have ever seen....she seems very strong and is picking at live brine and frozen brine and pe mysis...
hope this goes smoothly...doing prazi and not doing cupramine...

 

[Allmost]

nice congrats pics are in order

 

[HSR]

Congrats on the fish! Can't wait to see it!

 

[humaguy]

Thanks...
All morning she was on one side of my fuge picking and eating...I turned on the 2nd set of moons and apparently she is off exploring..I cant find her...she is the size of 3 stripe damsel...so, rather hard to find in a 150...
I think Copps may have been diving with Koji when this fish was caught...I did have Koji autograph my sales slip as I am a total salt nerd! Just spoke with Koji on fb and asked a few questions about depth, water temp, and any dietary needs that may have been observed...Copps, if you can add anything, I would appreciate it...
Here is Koji and Mark just after he signed my sales slip...
I do have a video of her after she was dropped off but cant figure out a way to get it into phototbucket...thoughts???
Koji and Mark...many thanks guys!

 

[humaguy]

here is a video of Koji releasing her...

Very pretty fish!

 

[Tactics]

Wonderful score humaguy. Congrats.

Mine was hand caught by Koji as well. Kinda neat to meet the guy who caught the fish in person.

 

[humaguy]

Thanks...glad to see your story work out so well...

They are such beautiful fish...and this one is so small I just hope she does okay...

 

[reef_of_flames]

a different angle...big pieces with lots of flat sides...

Sorry, I'm still reading through your thread, but these pillar type rocks would be awesome to place some monti caps all around!

 

[reef_of_flames]

time for an update..been awhile...tank is doing great...

twin nuclears...

What exactly are these? What do they do?

 

[humaguy]

What exactly are these? What do they do?

those are double height nuclear filters...right side holds 2 50 micron carts....left is bio balls...
I am presently in the process of removing them and adding an additional sump that will hold 4-6 more filter socks...
