lol,…it’s those “ oh sh#t “ moments that bring you back to reality really quick. Funny , as I was frantically trying to undo the mess I had created as quickly as I could the thought of the fresh water parasite treatment was flashing thru my head , I was thinking ,heck maybe it’ll do them...

Autumn - I guess the good lord made me dumb enough to do stupid things on occasion, but bright enough to figure out how to undo the mess just as fast …. Whew ! Ps love the part of Greg’s “ geriatric “ fish

lol,…you guys are making me feel better ,..thanks

Hey Sean,…. Thanks for the encouragement,…I had to laugh when you said there’s two types of people those, who’ve I made similar mistakes and those that lie and said they never have ,…. I somehow found that funny , reminds me of an old employee we had at the shop

Hey Greg !!! Wow ,..you kinda made my day ! …. I can’t compete with those numbers but my fox face has prob been in the tank for 8-9 years (?) give or take ….and my powder blue tang is going on 4 I believe …. Those are pretty good numbers for me !!! Your tank is and will be...

In my tank I’ve got a zillion of them growing everywhere ,… as Andy said they’ll usually find a spot that they enjoy by themselves ,…in my tank I just let them do what they want to do,it adds to the more natural feel.

Wow,….i just realized that I haven’t posted anything since April !!!! A moment of pure stupidity on my part this morning I’d thought I’d share ….. Usually every Monday I plan on doing my maintenance and water change for my main tank ,….i have a 40 gallon barrel that is located by the...

This has been some funny stuff !!! Nice to see that we can all laugh at ourselves and take everything in stride as we try and react with the normal people out there . ….as far as Greg’s tank relocation goes,… we’ll just have to wait and see if the old man managed to survive the whole...

Sean …. After all these funny replies I hope you’re feeling young again !!! We haven’t even touched on walking into a room and wondering “ what the $&@ did I come in here for ? ?…. Lol … like we said … it only gets worse. The other day I forgot if I had fed my fish 20 minutes earlier...

Give it another 20 years Sean and watch the fun unfold … your feet seem farther away when you try and put on your socks…. You start to sound like a old car squeaking when you try to pickup 5 gallons of rodi water …. In my mind I still feel like I’m 29 but all the kids are calling me “...

Sean,…in your 50’s you’re still considered a young pup!! ( at least by our standards )

Wow !!! Hey Greg ,..welcome home ,…congratulations on the new tank setup !! I could imagine the move had to be somewhat mind boggling to say the least . I see a powder blue tang in there , how long have you had him? …I’ve had mine for 3 years or is it 4 ??? ..Hey ,I’m 71 too so the mind...

Holy smokes , everyone’s come out if the woodworks ! So nice to hear from every one ! Greg what a pleasure to hear from you again !!! Wow, just the thought of what you have to be doing to move that whole setup must be mind boggling!!! Sean ., I too had a house full of tarantulas...

Hi everyone ! I got a birthday wish from the forum this morning and thought wow it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything so I thought I’d say hi again ! As far as the tank goes , everything running smooth and with out any major incidents,… all my residents are doing very well...

Wow !! Thanks guys , I thought I was going nuts ,… makes some sense now . Learning something new everyday ! Very much appreciated!

I’ve kinda noticed over the years that for some reason during the winter months when everything gets colder that I seem to add twice as much water to the ATO system then during the summer months when it’s really hot … granted that the whole tank system stays at a constant temperature due to the...

I’ve been here since forever and it kinda sucks that a lot of our star saltwater members have moved on to other forums or have just left the aquarium world altogether. For me personally, I always enjoyed this forum immensely when Doug aka mr.x was a constant voice here ,… I’d often laugh...

Well it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything but sometimes life just jumps up and gets in your way …. My girl friend and I just returned from I believe was our 21 st trip to Hawaii ,… we snorkeled at “ two step “ a couple of times while we were there and I’m happy to report that the marine...

Well I finally changed out the paper roll on the bubble magus filter roller ,… almost exactly 6 months of use on its first roll !!! the used roll shows that it did indeed trap a whole lot of gunk,…would the filter socks removed as much or even more gunk I don’t know for sure but this is sooooo...

After my practice run a couple of weeks ago this went pretty well…. From power outage to having the tank running on the generator was under 3 minutes ! After that I just sat outside listening to the generator waiting for the power to come back on and having a adult beverage or two...

All power went out here at 3:40 …. Not just me this time ! Traffic signals out etc … thank god I bought the generator for the tank a couple of weeks ago!!!! Power company says it’ll be out for at “least “ 3-4 hours

As a former owner of triggerfishes I must concur with Andy regarding any cleanup crew that are in the tank,… these cute little monsters will eat everything you put in there ,..they also tend to be rather territorial when it comes to the other fishes too. Don’t get me wrong ,..I love em to...

Thank you andy !! ,…yup I’m aware of the pit falls of not running the generator every now and then ,…. I always ran my old unit every few weeks for awhile and added staybil fuel stabilizer to the tank just in case ,.I can’t imagine the scoop and dump method on 25,000 gallons of water ...

A big sigh of relief from this side of the forum for sure !!! At least I know that it’ll do the job when and if I need it again,…. I’m so glad I did a practice run just to see if it’ll work instead of waiting for ground zero and fumbling around in the dark wondering if it was all in vain or...

yes yes yes !!! After breaking in the generator as per recommendations this weekend , i hooked up the whole aquarium system to it this morning and she’s 100 percent up and running with no issues !!! Nice to know that something actually worked out as planned !
