Been BUSY !!

Yep, back again for a bit, LOL

I had my daughter here for Christmas this year, and between preperation, followed by her being here, I didn't have time to do much more than manage to figure out how to change a wheel bearing and caliper for Connie's son (I hate cars, but managed).

Just wanted to pop in and say "Hey!", and ask a couple questions.

Fred, still have the urchin. Still no major rush (with upcoming plans on our part may have to wait regardless) but wanted to double check that you still want it at some point. The thing is still a bulldozer, but since we haven't added much in awhile we're down to just moving frags back and forth in "tug-o-war" fashin.

Jason, will give ya a shout on PM or call, but may need emergency backup coverage while we're in Jamaica if you're available. I have no siphon tubes for you to drink from however But, just as last time, I have a few people watching the house and tank and nothing should be needed unless purely tank related. They should be able to handle even most any plumbing or electrical related issues. Will only need backup if it comes down to an obvious problem still remaining with the quality/condition of the water, recovery, etc.

Also, if anyone is closer to Brillion than Jason and willing, give me a shout. Is a long way for him to come. Last year, while he was never needed, I STILL stressed the whole time I was gone worrying, LOL. The tank is still barely stocked though, so barring something major it can take a few hits without crashing still.

Thanks Jason

I'll give ya a call. Not sure yet what day the concern will even start, as my parents may be staying here for a short bit too. My plumbing still confuses Dad, but while he's here at least the tank is covered. Will give you a shout as soon as I know.

LOL, will plaster your number all over the house like I did last year, although luckily not needed

Well, thanks to the gracious assistance of Jason and Dan, I converted my 100g acrylic tank into a sump. Still haven't set it up yet, but when I do, I sure hope that urchin will fit in there (48"x24"x24").

Oh, the Maroon from Mike hung in there, and I thought was finally recovering and found his place, but looks to be gone. Could still be hiding, but hasn't been seen in two days now (Went two days once before, but not recently). It's fins were growing back, and seemed to be finally left alone from all the other fish, but stopped eating. When last seen it LOOKED like it may have had some ich. Was only a couple spots and I wasn't yet sure what it was before it disappeared. No sign of anything on any other fish, and Connie added a cleaner shrimp last week to replace the two we lost in the power loss while at the lake over the summer. I'm keeping an eye out, but if that rears it's head while I'm gone will just leave instructions with Connie's son on what to do, for the best he can, until we get back.

It'll fit

LOL, as long as you don't intend to put any frags in there that it enjoys knocking over so much! Connie said she would trim it so I can get it out. Last time she did that had spines all over the tank for weeks. (The hermits ate them. That was a surprise).
