The House of Orange

LOL... speak for yourself...
I on the other hand am free this weekend to go to the aquarium of the pacific... unless I decide to do a stupid coral grow out contest and have to pick up a Vivid Insanity on Saturday...

I sheepishly bowed out of that competition. By the state of my green slimer and non-existent garf bonsai, I have no business playing with fancy sticks...

 

[Stang67]

I'd eat it.

I might get Thursday off thanks to rain. I'll need it

Yeah... that can buff right out... In fact next time your at home depot there is a guy that fixes dents while you shop.

Usually his wife will sell you tamales from a Rubbermaid tote if you're hungry too!

Don't hate- those tamales are delicious.

<makes a mental note to cancel JoJo's shipment and send them to Stang instead>

Fixed it.

 

[JoJosReef]

Really? No one was able to do anything with "playing with fancy sticks"?

WIth an audible sigh, JoJo walks out the door, headed to the Something Fishy bar or wherever he can find a kindred spirit. Somewhere nearby, a soprano saxophone is playing a sad, soulful tune.

Good morning, Heathens and happy Wednesday! Keith is holding the acro shipment until next week due to the snow storm. That is good news, because we got a good bit of the white stuff.

These arrived yesterday to replace the gyres on the back wall. I have some flow guards for them on order, so getting them set up will wait for now.

For the Anthias lovers among you: do any of you have any experience with Pseudanthias flavoguttatus or Pseudanthias aurulentus? I'm considering those two instead of the Bimacs because they are on the smaller size (comparatively). Any first hand knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

Who's hating???

Fixed it.

You are 3rd on the list. Since I'm a noob at shipping, I'm going to wait until April so that it warms up a bit. First in the chute is @Zach B who had a really bad car accident, and while rehabilitating had a complete tank crash. He lost everything but a few fish. I'm gonna start a coral-a-thon or something for him (I didn't forget about you, buddy!). Then @Mschmidt so we can see how many acros he can kill in his new tank. Last, but not least, the goodies I've been holding for you until I got comfortable shipping.

Remember you need at least a 40 breeder for your convict tang, NOT a 40 cube! On the other hand, best not to go overboard, you don't want the tang feeling vulnerable. 40 to 60 breeder is the sweet spot.

I have a 125 but it would go into my future bigger tank. One day….

125g is a suitable enclosure for Acanthurus triostegus and will leave room for a (tang) friend or two. You are cleared to proceed.

So far I haven't killed anything that wasn't already slated to die.

Don't be so critical- there's still plenty of time.

Pics! Pics! Pics!

I'm just teasing I have some things I can try to ship too this spring. I will pm you....

Hrmmm... I'm running dangerously low on real estate, and my stocking plan for the remainder is pretty much mapped out. We're in the home stretch! Could I convince you to pay it forward and help restock @Zach B when the time comes?
