Hello, We Are Reef Cleaners, Nice to Meet You

[johnmaloney]

Glad to be on board here at Aquarium Advice! How many of you are moonlighting under different names that already know us? I won't tell your local clubs.

I think we should have some sort of contest to kick off our sponsorship here. What do you think? TV trivia game? Trivial Pursuit type questions instead? Throw some ideas out there for me and we can go from there.

[harmy4993]

triva works but its kinda easy to look online for the answers lol. and welcome to AA

[johnmaloney]

Thanks! Yeah we had that problem before...Google is fun, but not all the time. I can make tricky tv questions you couldn't normally find. But then if we dont watch the same shows it isn't fun....hrmmm...

[harmy4993]

i would do something like a random give away like a door prize or do triva to get into the a drawing or something that way you can still have fun with it but its not the first person who answers who watches alot of tv that wins. plus we have alot of people all over the world and tv is diffrent for every one im sure.

[johnmaloney]

we only ship to the us though. so maybe it would be better if I had trivia questions on British Parliament...you know save a buck or two when the UK crowd chimes in. j/k

Pacman high score screenshot contest?

[harmy4993]

btw like the picture on your home page. that blue star is sweet.

Welcome aboard John. You have a great reputation.

[johnmaloney]

thanks! to be honest though I didn't take the picture, I am horrible with cameras. People either gave us the right to take the photos, or make the art on our website or it looks bad. Anything out of focus basically has my signature. You will find I am absolutely terrible with a camera.

So...pac man? Maybe Space Invaders? I was thinking we could do a big prize for the highest score, and then a prize if you "beat the dealer", my score, which will probably be low because I always forget that one pellet way on the other side of the screen. Or in Space Invaders, the last shipment goes to fast. I figure everyone has some experience playing either of those games. Yes? No? Too Nerdy? Even for a reef forum?

Not sure how we could do a door prize or a drawing, but I am open to suggestions.

[harmy4993]

pac man sounds cool.

[johnmaloney]

okay done! let me go get a high score for you all to beat and to come up with fabulous prizes.

[johnmaloney]

read it and weep



The game can be found at PacMan Game - Play Online It doesn't really give you much time to hit that print screen button at the end, so I did it right before I thought I was going to die, but it looks like I might have made it out...anyway it is dicey when you decide to make the move for the print screen button. Beat the score and get $10 off your next order, highest score gets $50 gift certificate

[harmy4993]

[johnmaloney]

that would be significantly better

[harmy4993]

i dont think that score will hold up thou. its only level 3.

[johnmaloney]

"only" ....

Watch it now harmy! That level 2 was impossible.

[harmy4993]

so anyways lol. level 2 rocks lol j/k..

so what would you recommend for a 75gallon tank for the first part of a clean up crew. im currently working on cycling the tank. so the next step will be a clean up crew of some sorts.

i plan on having a full reef.

[johnmaloney]

I have a ton of questions listed for you here:
ReefCleaners.org | Clean Up Crews and Macro Algae

On new tanks with no comments to the contrary I assume the LR you have is hair algae and complex macro algae free. If not, don't forget to leave me a note. I am going to catch up on all of those tomorrow, so you should get a reply then.

Hey John,
When is Joe's birthday? (hint, hint)!!!!!!

For those that don't know, John recently had a birthday. In celebration, he offered a discount equal to the number of years he's been on planet earth to anyone who entered the correct number in the coupon code on checkout (you could keep entering numbers till you hit it).

Thanks for the snails, macro, etc.

Oh almost forgot
