Re: OT~No reason thread

I'm very excited about re-starting my tank. I just wish I could get off work at a decent time so that I could run over to the Aquarium Center and pick up some LR! I am off tomorrow so, if I can't get out of here today, I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning.

I miss watching football also! Maybe we'll have a team this year.
I'm excited about spring coming also. Some of the bulbs are already coming up. The bad thing about that is, they are calling for the possiblilty of snow!

Re: OT~No reason thread

i am excited on having a tank almost a full year old (livestock 2 years now) and seeing how it is maturing

i also wish i could do this full time - have a nice huge greenhouse with lots of plants and a huge tank...that would be fun (and a full time job to maintain)...wonder what powerball prize is

I am in a reefing-slump ... I am a bit burned out... maybe spring fever?? also, my last female anthias is not eating now I even made fresh homemade mush for her but it did not help....

I have been working overtime during my day job and at home.... I need a long vacation...

Re: OT~No reason thread

i know what you mean doni...i sometimes don't even feel like feeding them, but that is just too much work on the mind....just relax in front of your gorgeous tank, relax and let your critters heal you

I hope your anthias decides to eat

Re: OT~No reason thread

Looking forward to this summer for sure, four wheel'n & vacation all in the cards for this year. I've got my feelers out there for any live rock deals too, I've got a 150G that I am setting up this year, I may start with reef bones not sure yet though, maybe uncured LR. Can you say $money$.

Question: How many things run through a mans head, when he just moved to a new house and has an 80G and a 150G empty in the garage. Plus the fact that he loves to inprove his yard and home......
My head hurts.....

I'm thinking they would make a great sump and refug for one massive size tank.

Man I hate cold weather. As soon as it gets below 70 I break out the thermals.

Re: OT~No reason thread

We just purchased tickets to see the Soul2Soul Tour with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. The concert is in the round and we have tickets for sect 2 right in front of the stage!! I'm so excited and I'm not the biggest country fan in the world but, I do like some of the groups.
