The Days of Dustin or Boofer Gets Bagged.

[just dave]

A little heads up.

Dustin (Boofer) and his wife came home from vacation to find his house flooded. Turns out one of the housings on his RO split and pumped water into his house for about three days. His insurance company has them in a hotel. He's had to tear down his tank because of the reflooring going on. Needless to say his wife is not too happy. He came by the shop to drop off his live stock and when I waved at her I think she gave me the finger.

An unwanted guest living under the Starboard in his tank.

Is that one of those Coral eating bristleworms?

holy majoly, that thing looks big and mean. Dustin, sorry to hear about all this, it's every reefer's worst nightmare. Good luck with the missus!

 

[just dave]

It's a smaller version of this.

 

[Codeman00]

All I can say is "WOW!"

[Bebo77]

Dustin-I have a 5 stage RO/DI unit if you need another at no charge. The 3 main filters need to be replaced. Hope everrything
works out 4 you man.

Man, a double whammy. That might explain some smalle rfish loses, huh? I found two Eunicid worms in a friends tank down in Oxford during a move some seven years ago and thought they were the ugliest looking things in the world. His were only about a foot long (nothing like Weast's), but we attributed the lose of several small fish shortly after introduction to the worms. Hate to hear about the 2-3" on the floor, Dustin. It's always something, isn't it...

Sorry to hear about this Boofer

I found the exact type of worm in my 12gal about 5 months ago. Mine was about 18inches long and had been living in a piece of rock. I have no idea how we did not see it before the fateful evening when it crawled out of one side of the rock and back in the other.

I had soft corals disappearing for about a week. That is one of the nastiest things on earth.

Gave me the willies.

I hope that things not in the tank with my corals at the shop!!

Sorry Dustin, there's bad luck and then there's really bad luck.
Hang in there!

Of course not. I had to throw your stuff out to make room for his.

[gflat65]

OT, but Kevin, I'll be in town Saturday. I've got to hook up with Ramiro (lives over by Kermit's). Are you in that area?

 

[scarson61]

gflat65, I pmed you (another off topic post)

 

[Reefdiver77]

Sorry about the flood, Dustin. I thought my overflows were bad. My husband was none too happy when the water leaked to the ceiling in the den downstairs!! That BIG worm Dave posted grossed me out and I am unsure if I will ever be able to put my hand in my tank again without hearing the theme from Jaws!!
