Thanks bro

I added a maculiceps and an australian dussumier tang

You wouldn't happen to have the hook-up on a lineatus super male, being from Australia and all would you???

mate, even i'm in Oz, i rarely see this fish available.

Just like people always say Oz clams are hectic, maybe all the goodies gone oversea, we only see brown clams in our LFS. LOL never seen those "australia true blue clam"...lol

This is my 1st time seeing this beautiful fish

 

[Jim_S]

Really???

That's just crazy man. Crazy!!

You need to get in touch with an exporter with all that good stuff you guy have access to down under!!!

Feelin good Bart? :lol: I'm sure you'll feel a lot better when blue zoo calls and tells you your fish is in

 

[amashun]

i wish i can get in touch with them too...lol they don't bother to deal with lfs anymore.

Jim,

Are you just holding out for a Supermale Lineatus now?

 

[Jim_S]

I think so

 

[kdblove_99]

Did you hit Exotic today?

Still cant find my BSJ starting to get bummed

 

[Jim_S]

Yeah. Picked up some b-ionic to hold me over until the CA arrives state-side.

They had a nice hooded wrasse, but pickins seemed a little slim....

Bummer about the BSJ. Just give it a little time. It'll surface.

Do you have a cover?

 

[bored4long]

Davey, have you tried asking John at YR to pick one up for you? He gets them in from time to time and always hand picks his fish.

Mark, I think he picked one up the other day, and just can't seem to find it in his display

 

[bored4long]

oh, oops. Thanks for clearing that up. In that case: I'm sure he will turn up! Checked the Overflow?

 

[mpoletti]

Davey, I hoped it faired better than the other one it was with. I stopped by and saw it belly up

I hope it turns up. Do you have sand in your cube?

 

[kdblove_99]

Not in the overflow nor is he in on the floor anywhere. yeah i have sand.

yeah saw the other one he didnt look that great as he also had something wrong with his lip guess he was on his way out. Man they had these guys for at least 2 weeks there probably longer

 

[mpoletti]

Yeah, I work up here off of sunset now, so I head over to BS with Kyle a couple times of week.

Sorry to hear about the BSJ.

 

[AJPACINO23]

BS???????

 

[Jim_S]

What up AJ?

Just got home. My helio's were here... but I can't get them all to fire...

The color of the two that do fire are very blue.

I'll see if I can't figure this out....

 

[Jim_S]

Yeah, the helios definitely aren't working on my ballast

I was told by a reliable source that they would, but they do not for some reason.

Got the old lamps in and they fired right back up. I'm either going to get the XM's for now, or get some electronic ballasts.

Probably the latter of the two.

 

[kdblove_99]

I thought Helios fired on all ballasts.

Yeah i moved a couple rocks around and he is no where to be found. Bummer deal!

 

[tbone28]

That sucks, Davey. I feel your pain

Thanks T.

Yours commited Suicide and mine went AWOL

 

[Jim_S]

Mark, thanks for the chemistry lesson :lol:

Just so you guys all know, I've been testing my water for the past 3 weeks using the elos vial to measure the water, not the syringe!

Needles to say, I know now why calcium was so low (it really wasn't), and now I know my alk is too high :lol:

Thanks PaulErik too for helping me with my Helios!! Just gott'em fired!!!

One of my contacts needed to be pulled out, because it wasn't touching the bulb :lol:

I love this hobby :lmao:
