ever move one coral and 2 hrs later?

[nashorn]

You’re still rearranging the tank? I into my 3rd hour and I can’t get all the corals back in.

 

[dswong01]

I hate when that happens

 

[650-IS350]

Yes, I had to move rocks around and break corals off their cement to move things around... really sucks..

You mean when you're sweaty and your fingers are wrinkled...the mind's racing...while you shoulder and back aches...and the misses is shaking her head?

YES!

 

[sfsuphysics]

What Karl said, except without a misses..

 

[fishnfst]

Sweet at least I'm not the only one

 

[Nuuze]

Don't forget the sunburned arms from the lights...

 

[nashorn]

Done:rollface: got it all back in except the kitchen sink:lol:

A good ~6 1/2 hours of "reefhanditis". The first step is admitting you have an adiction

The finger and hand cramps are what I do not enjoy.

ripped tunze armlength plastic gloves and numb hands from who knows what... holding heavy rock at odd angles, salt everywhere, cursing the reef gods for rock slides, and cleaner shrimp picking endlessly at your arms... yeah been there.

Yeah how many times that has happen I pickedup a pair of arm length rubber gloves. Works great since the tunze ones kept leaking on me.

like the coralife ones? Those are good too, but I find it hard to use because you can't feel a thing through the rubber =/

i wish there was something in between =P

YES!

Don't forget about the enivitable small algae bloom that immediately follows.

Man, talk about irony.. I just read a few replies for this thread, went downstairs, next thing you know i'm moving a couple 20+ pound rocks around in a different orientation, or something and... it looks perfect!!!!

WAIT?! Where did that pokerstar frag go? *sigh* yank it out.. found it, put it back together.. wait that looks nothing like it was.. how the hell did I balance it? SUMMABIZNTCH! Oh well it's there and it'll stay that way for now. Glad I ate lunch before doing it.

What there are no single rocket scientists in the Bay Area?

I'm sure there are tons of singles out there who would interested in lasing a sticks of dynamite on a Friday night. In fact I saw a couple of adds on the SciFi channel late last night.

hehe Hector, I am by no means single, it's just I'm wise enough to do tank related tomfoolery when she ain't around

Me too. I do it after she goes to bed. It's also a good time to install new equipment that has been hiding in the garage, and to introduce new frags that have been hiding in the sump.

Hey nashorn,

I've been wondering, is your name in reference to the German word for rhinoceros or for the German tank destroyer?
