Lol, you guys kill me. Can you imagine a 4000 gal tank. the skimmer would look like a corn Silo lol....dont get me wrong that would be awesome. Id get in there with some snorkle gear and swim around with my fish lol...
How does fried Nudi smell? Never had those in my tank yet. when they do finally show up I got a special H#ll set up to run them thru. Blow torch sounds fun. I was thinking a bleach bath or something just as twisted to get my rocks off. Cant figure out what the Xenia's problem is after running all my test I came up empty. Unless some Chlorine got in.. I got one hard to keep Carnation which is a Softy. Supposed to be a difficult to keep. I just got it a weeks ago and it shows no signs of bad karma so im hoping the Xenia is just having PMS and will spring back. Funny the lfs that sold me the Carnation, guy must have been new. The thing had a Red Velvette Mushroom attached to it and 2 turbo snails clinging to the rock. Bonus buy lol... Im like yep thats the one bud thanks.. I never usually roll the dice on hard to keep stuff but this one looked so nice I wanted to give it a try. Had my bouts with Gonipora and no success there. Mostly my own fault cuz I didnt know what I was getting into. I could probably keep one now but for the money I can buy something else thats just as nice. This Carnation is Bright purple and vibrant as anythig Ive ever seen. Everything Ive read says its not a good choice because its a constant feeder so you have to maintain a steady flow of nutrients too it which means water quality will be a major concern. 30% a week is the norm for me any how so no big deal.
CoralFarmer: I marinate on the weekends typically in Margarittas with the top shelf stuff. That keeps me on an even plane. Otherwise Id be bouncing off the walls. Im one of the high strung mofo's. I cant sit still. Its all I can do to leave my tank alone most of the time. The skimmer cup gets a 1/4" of foam I gotta clean it. Its an Illness I suppose. If it wasnt a reef tanks it would be muscle cars or motorcylces or something else. Ive allready done both been in and out of all sorts of hobbies. this one occupys my time well so I keep it close. I hunt, fish, design crap for people on the side. Turn some wrenches on the side, jack of all trades so to speak. I worked as a Mechanic when I was younger, heavy truck, and commercal equipment, hydraulics, some machine repair. Worked as a heavy plate fitter, structural fitter and welder. Worked contract for GM designing closure panels for truck and bus group. got into Robotic welding layout and plant layout for GM. Did some civil work for awhile. Steel trusses and residential wood. Worked for my dad building custom Harleys, built my own. So you see. I cant commit to anything for long but this hobby has got me hooked. i pretty much moved to FL to get out of the rat race and get into a jimmy Buffet style of living but no matter how hard I try I keep geting pulled back in. Took a job here for a comany doing some baggage handling equipment before 9-11. Just my luck after 9-11 happened T.S.A. started requiring 100% baggage screening for every airport in the U.S.. this place went nuts. I got involved in all sorts of new designs and concepts prototypes and system layout work. we bought 4 new companies to support the growth and I got out on mandatory O.T. for 3 years. I just wanted to sip Margarittas and watch my fish. Now this...... Ill be moving to S. America within the next 10 years. Im done!!!! Im cashing out and bailing. I plan on Costa Rica but who knows...
