Gboy66 said:Wow great to hear everything is good!! Your preparation seemed to be excellant too!
The waves at pipeline were supposed to hit 20-25 ft wednesday...so maybe that had somthing to do with that surge you felt
needmorecowbell said:It's great that everything survived the trip! Did u take any pics of the reef while you were there? And what happened to the trigger that was in the sump a while ago, I completely forget.
Dary421 said:Hey Adam,...yes,, we tried taking pictures of our snorkeling adventures but because of the murky conditions as I stated earlier, the pictures weren't too much to see ( even under photoshop) too bad because we saw some really cool critters,...unfortunately concerning the picaso triggerfish that was living in the sump ... He passed quietly one day a couple of months ago due to undetermined causes ,... This little guy definitely had nine lives and used them all up.
Other than that,..everything seems to be functioning very well.
Maybe one day when i get around to it i'll post a few of the better ones anyhow just for the heck of it... It sure was nice to see God's own aquarium up close and personal again.
needmorecowbell said:Oh gotcha. Yep, I hope to see it too, but I'm worried it will change my views on aquariums too much.. In my mind, these are the two scenarios that go down.. I see a huge school tangs, and I'm disgusted with how we keep one In a 100 gal aquarium, sometimes less. Second, I see a huge school of tangs, and have a new dream of getting a tank big enough to have the same thing.. Either one wouldn't be very good lol.

Dary421 said:Hi Jodi !!! It's been awhile since I've heard from you,..hope all's well ,.i haven't been on the forum very much in the last couple of months so I've probably missed a lot of what was happening around here ,..the last time I remember ,..you were selling off some of your stock and maybe relocating? Hopefully all that is past and you're tank is a happy thriving community,..as I mentioned above ,.my tank seems to be running fine ,either that or everything has adapted well to the Martian like conditions either or,it's doing well.
Let us know what's going on in Jodi's aquatic world.,..IMO you've always been in that upper status level and someone that we can all learn from..... Standing by for wisdom !!
Jlsardina said:Well I haven't set up a personal tank again- but I designated a tank at the shop for myself. Lol. I've done a lot of fragging lately though so I've gained some new knowledge in that department.
I don't know about being in the upper status knowledge for our little hobby- I'm just a nerd with a desire to learn. Lol
One of my frag tanks...
Glad to hear everything has been doing so well for your tank. I haven't been on here much lately either as I have been busy with the shop and work.
Gregcoyote said:Hey Dary...hope you had a good turkey day. I am soaking in saltwater after doing some plumbing in the fish room. There sure is a "pretty side" and a "less pretty side" to this hobby![/QUOte
Lol,...yep I'm reminded of that glamour every week when I do my pwc ,.. The other week I was soaking a little pump in vinegar to clean it out,.I decided to plug it in to circulate the vinegar thru the unit ,.well, it shot a stream of vinegar three feet directly into my left eye,... Truly a marvelous shot !!
After a quick dash to the sink to rinse my eye out all I could do was shake my head and laugh,... Yep " the pretty side" lol
As far as thanksgiving goes, I had probably the best one I can ever remember.,.hope you had the same
I had just finished the very last of my Xmas shopping and I stopped at my lfs to purchase another bucket of salt,... I was laughing to myself saying just go in grab a bucket of salt and get the heck out, do not go near the corals and do not look at the monti's .... Unfortunately , the salt is located about ten feet from where the monti's live so OF COURSE I ended up looking them over and bought this interesting little piece ,... It's prob about 5-6" across and mike my buddy at the store knocked off about $20 from the regular price,...with all it's little arms jetting out I figured in a year or so she may look pretty interesting ,..nothing like Greg's spiral cut ham monti but for me it was an interesting investment for the future ,... Couldn't beat the price even if I was tapped out from Xmas but what the heck I think maybe the humuhumu needed a present too... The colors in the pictures really suck but you'll get a idea,... Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday !!!!!
Actually greg it's the pinkest color like your spiral cut ham monti .. my led's plays havoc with the iphone colors ...( except greens!)
