lol, I just woke up from my deep sleep since I got home! slept from 10ish to 6... what a day. Didn't even bother to go to work.

I didn't think of it as any. I was up and around as usual, plus I didn't want to go back to sleep because I was planning to go fishing around 4 AM. It just happened that Andrea needed help so I was like... why not I'm bored. Ran into the room and grabbed my brother and headed out. The canopy wasnt that heavy anyways.

There is nothing to be made up... a good deed goes a long way and ou gave me a frag already, not to mention the RK2... advice. I'm good over here... BTW the frag is doing great!

If you want to thank anyone... thank my brother because I were in his place I would have said no. lol... he was knocked out.

Great job eric and brother... I'm another that'll help any time I can, but 2 am is a little harder (I go to bed around 11, and wake up at 5 for work.)LOL I probably would have helped, but I never would have seen the message. Great job, you guys are the people that make the hobby worthwhile! Make sure you clean the living heck out of those cuts, easy infections!

[ek9vboi]

nice pictures of the blue tangs together! tank still looks nice too

 

[Speckled Grouper]

Yeah, everybody is taking it easy tonight

 

[Kewlworm]

That's cool! Eric & brother to the rescue. Good to know there are still good people out there that would go out of their way for someone. Good Job!

Andrea, nice tangs, did you add them all at the same time? Do they fight once in a while?

 

[Bullredchaser]

Great job guys! :thumbsup: Glad to hear all is well.

The yellow tang came first (about 2 1/2 years), after her, the "Blues Brothers", no bigger than a quarter (2 years)....then came "Dufus" the Naso (1 1/2 years) and "Pete" the PBT came this year in May, and so did "Dirty", the Phillipino yellow tang. I have never seen them fight. I do contribute their healtyness directly to the Cleaner Wrasse and LOTS of garlic (hey, my skimate smells like the back of an Italian restaurant, lol).

Here's Dirty

 

[Reliable1]

Good looking out!!!!

 

[cwegescheide]

Wow nice tank!

 

[astrogazer]

Kudos to Eric ... you da' man!

 

[Kewlworm]

Dirty is pretty! Where did you get him?

Also, did you dive/snorkel for those Cinnamon Polyps in the keys?

Thanks!

Kewl, believe it or not, I got "Dirty" and "Pete" the PBT as a totally unexpected birthday present from some of my employees. Of course I held a big speech that it is not cool to give somebody livestock when they are unfamiliar with what the person has and does, etc, but I was still touched and couldn't bring myself to return them to the store (some place in Hialeah....), so they have been there since May.

I have never seen Cinnamon Polyps down here, no they came from the LFS.

Water looks gooooood, no rain in the forecast, I be snorkling in the am........

 

[Kewlworm]

Man, I would love to go snorkle again. I should take advantages of my unemployed status and go down there.

Can I go with you next time?

 

[Speckled Grouper]

Absolutely! As a matter of fact, I am going to stop at some dive stores on Monday and see what they have going on as far as getting certified, I would love to do it down here, I'll check on cost and how quick it can be accomplished while the water is still warm.

 

[Kewlworm]

Cool! Thanks, Andrea!

Yeah, I am going to get myself a pair of fins and mask, too. I went to "Diver Unlimited" on Pines and University and they had the program for ~$350. It takes 2 weeks to complete. I think Rogger know a place that's cheaper.....Rogger?

 

[Speckled Grouper]

$ 350 is not bad, but 2 weeks? I don't have 2 weeks I want to do it in 3 days ! I will find out if that can be done.
I need to get me a new mask aswell, I was saying earlier, I spend so much money on the tank and stuff and I snorkle with a K-Mart mask, lol. I waste half the time tearing it off my head, adjusting it and spitting in it....there's got to be something better!
