Overflow working perfect

Had to rig something for the flow control on the return to the SUMP it was all going out there instead of the top. I put the valve in the wrong spot. -_- Oh well I can get one more and rig it, there is one part I left unglued so I can get the tank in and out if needed so I can fix it.

Making sure everyone is doing okay

So everyone ate and looks good. They Yasha and Pistol are making their burrows under the smurf house again and the corals are pissed but all have some PE. The zoas were open before the lights went out.

 

Pics tomorrow when it's all clear and I am sure everyone is happy and alive.

Yay! omgomgomg:happydance: I'm glad the move was a success! How are you feeling?

 

I love Poe, but Xerces may be my new favorite. He's gotten so big and cute! And that was adorable how he was hanging out in your hand before he decided it was safe to explore the tank. :)

 

Oh btw, you're so skinny! And I love the tattoo shots! You're going to drive the guys on here nuts :lol:

Link to comment

Okay... So first of all, you look like a total bro lol... Nice tattoo. :P

 

Secondly, I noticed your hair is brown now... When I viewed your profile a while back, you had platinum blonde hair. Just for the record (sorry, girly comment here) I REALLY liked your hair as platinum blonde. You just look awesomer... IDK why. It's not sexier/hotter/whatever, it just looks awesome. Just my taste though. You should dye it back.

 

I'm pretty good at choosing hair styles. This gay guy who sat next to me in math until he started independent study had blonde hair when we were in elementary school. His hair is naturally buzzcut and brown, but he got extensions and dyed his hair blonde. So anyway, he had his hair a red/brown color and one day when the teacher was lecturing and he was doing his makeup and applying perfume, I was all like, "You should dye your hair back to blonde! It was so awesome that way!" and then the next week he came, it was blonde! :happy:

 

Oh, and this other girl had curly hair and I told her it would look really pretty if she straightened it, and then she did and it was pretty. :D

 

So I think I would be a good hair stylist, but that's weird and I want to go into a profession that makes a lot of money to support my strange interests. :D

 

Anyway, you should try dying it back to platinum blonde! :D

I actually think Randi is a ginger naturally, which is pretty hot of course. ;) We had fun posting hot red head photos on Joel's thread since my hair was red recently, but its back to its natural dark brown now :)

Yeah, I like red head stuff. I just think she looks awesome with platinum blonde. :)

 

I have a weird taste in girls... I really, really like European girls. I also like Asian girls, African girls and Jamaican girls too. Like Nicki Minaj sort of deal. I don't really like the "hot blonde big boobs" kind of girl... Even if they're 100% natural, no hair dying or anything. I just hate American girls, except for a few. I kinda like the personality where they're rude and always cracking mean jokes and saying mean things jokingly... Just somebody that is fun to talk to lol. Bahahaha I sound like a dating profile. :lol:

That did sort of sounds a bit like a dating profile :lol:

 

Do you also like long walks on the beach at sunset? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

I'm with you on the cracking sort of mean jokes part. I'm being sarcastic most of the time, so I always date people who can take that kind of joking and give it right back.

No, like I really mean mean... Like say I said, "Haha your hair looks awesome!" and then she'd be all like "That was a really gay comment lol." Or we walk away from somebody talking in a really weird voice and then she mocks them. Or like she gets a small cut and makes a big deal out of it, cussing and such. :P

 

I have a mean personality too lawl. Oh, and I like people who talk leik dis and is leik all "LAWLZERZ" all teh timez. :D

That last sentence made no sense... :P

 

Sounds like you want to date a real b****. Good luck with that :lol:

Yeah! That word would probably best sum up what I have described. Never thought of it like that lol... :lol:

 

I also like super introverted people too. It's hot and cold with me lawl.

OMG x 2!!!!! Glad you are OK from that terrible accident! You're probably gonna be sore for a while. :(

 

Your tank and sump are incredible!!! What a nice job! You guys did a professional job on everything. I have seen a bazillion tanks and I have never seen anything like it. Two stacked 40B's with a viewable sump, incedible! What smarty pants sump design. If I ever have the balls to build my own sump, I hope it's OK if I copy you.

 

BTW yer purdy just the way you are. Gingers rock.

WOW! Congrats on the tank move - everything looks amazing. You guys did such a great job on the DIY - I wish I was half as handy. Everything looks happy in it's new home.

 

And jeez - I'm sorry to hear about your crash! I'm glad you came out of it ok, though the soreness from something like that can be pretty bad. I hope you feel 100% soon and that the legal/financial part isn't too big of a PITA. It bites that something that is totally not your fault always ends up being a time/$ suck.

I saw these pics on FB earlier...but I'll say it again here...WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks amazing!!!!! I love that you have two viewable 40Bs. You can set a pillow on the ground, lay down and stare at the refugium for hours. That's what I'd be doing. Macro tanks are fascinating!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys. I am in a bit of a panic right now though as I got home (everything looked and tested perfect yesterday) and the SPS are all bleached, the Chalice is not happy and none of the LPS will extend.

 

Everything tests prefect. IDK what to do. We are going to the LFS for another 20+ gallons of water I have a suspicion the water I got was bad. I was smelling the jug today and it smells like nasty low tide on the beach. Never again. -_-

 

Wish me luck or Joel won't have any frags for me to send him.

I don't think I mentioned how much I like your new setup. I may have to steal your ideas when my angler outgrows his current tank :D

Can you explain your plumbing set up to me? Mine is still not working. Hubby is working frantically to correct our latest misadventure with water running down through our hardwood to the basement. :huh:

Thanks

Go ahead! I have no problem with that.

 

You used all new water from a different source?

 

NO I used 75% of the water from the same LFS, and most of the water from the other tank. Then I just had the guy top off the SUMP which took about 20 gallons. So total I believe 80% the water it was used to 20% different water. All in all they should have been fine. There are polyps on everyone just bleached...... Even have a small tiny amount of PE but I have another 12 gallons on standby from my LFS for another WC tomorrow if I need to. I just changed out about 15 in the last 20 minutes and have checked on everyone again. I mean the polyps have color it's just the skeletons that are white.....

 

I will give them over night. If all else it means I have to restock this tank again which means a trip to the LFS. Still so PO though as I have some AWESOME pieces in there. Fish and Shrimp are fine. So are the snails and the hermits.... IDK. :mellow:
