Surely those fancy Solaris Lights have a satellite tracking function as well!

That is cool stuff! Man, I would LOVE to have a job like that! They sure are expensive though. Not to mention, I don't think my 2" tangs would enjoy having a 4" tag stuck up their butt.

Swimming right along! All we need now are pics!

Oh, that's why I'm confused as to the penguins. I kinda sorta was watching hockey with the hubby but gave up on the FLyers a long time ago.

Glad you guys came back. We really missed you.
Now where are those pics you promised?

goldenmean · 05-14-2008, 09:04 AM

I thought you were watching the March of the Penguins. I was worried about you. What a relief you were talking HOOKEY!

GO REDWINGS!!

eh, I'm a bruins fan and they chocked..no stress though we still got the SOX and in Aug, the Pats go back to training camp..good stuff..I remeber when training camp used to be held a local college and was open to the public...that's when they really sucked. But it's not open to the public anymore.

Terry I do have a question for you about tank leaks. My tank has either scratches or cracks in it...just to be on the safe side I siliconed all of them. I have two questions: One being how long should I wait to do a mini leak test (the tube says it's cured in 48 hours). The second question is that since these "things" are on the bottom of the tank where they'll be covered my sand and rock should I really worry about scraping off the excess silicone...there's not that much and I rather play it than pay for it later.

Thanks
Tony

I know you loce that Achilles, but that Powder Blue is gorgeous... I can see he's thin.. Hope you can fatten him up.

Very exciting to see FISH in there.. I'll bet you're really enjoying this!

AQTCJAK · 05-14-2008, 08:31 PM

Very nice Terry

Very nice Terry, indeed!

tbittner · 05-14-2008, 09:42 PM

Thanks everyone.

Yeah Barb, like I said before, I felt bad for the powder blue and figured I'd try to give him a chance for life. He's been eating really good and, believe it or not, is actually fatter than he was yesterday. The really surprising thing is that I found him at one of our really good LFS's. This LFS knows how to take care of these animals so it really shocked me that he looked so thin. They did have him "red tagged" though which means they think something is wrong with him, such as he isn't eating.

The powder blues are incredibly beautiful fish but they really need a LARGE tank to survive. I hope the 450 is big enough for him. (seriously).

Oh, happy fish!
