Oh, Richie, I was thinking you were on the other end of NJ. I loved OG, truly impressive range of corals and frags for every budget. I took a quick look at the tanks and even mentioned to hubby how reasonable the prices were compared to the stores here in Manhattan.

Can't think of what else dh might stand for, and not sure I want to know.



Sorry, I went yesterday. I would have looked for you if I had known. No new fish yet, I was too busy picking frags!



I wonder why the soundtrack from Hercules is playing in my head right now?

Seems like most of the cool folks around here are from the same general NYC/NJ area. I wonder what's up with that?

It's from the water, like bagels and pizza.

So are ya'll within driving distance of each other, or is it more of a haul?

Only the coolest ... (takes a bow) THANK YOU ... THANK YOU!!! lol

Unfortunately! LMAO!!! Kidding.

We are all within driving distance. The problem is that I, like many other NYers, don't drive. Didn't matter at all when I was young and single, I'd hop on a train/bus to anywhere. Now that I've celebrated my eleventy first b-day, going downtown is a day trip where I'm inclined to pack a lunch.



Hrumph!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Indeed!

eleventy-one?!?!

HOORAY! When are you throwing the party?

also, cars are stupid and stuff.

MMMMM that looks good Love PB and J

Well, I was just curious because I was thinking that perhaps we could arrange one big frag swap some day in the future, where ya'll send off one package to me and I send off one package to ya'll, and everyone gets new frags!

Just a thought.

Quit being jealous of my Ferrari Enzo ... I know you want to drive it!

Whenever you and your dw can come, of course. Oh, and bring frags. Kthx.

Yeah, cars are stupid, and bad for the environment.




...unless I need a ride, then they're brilliant.

Awesome idea!!! I am all in!

Hi Wimby!! When you coming into the city?


Sounds like a great thought, MJ. Cyber swap!

i seem to remember a certain story where the birthday person gave out the gifts, not viceversa

Huh. I don't remember that story. Must be one of them fairy tales.

So where dem pictures Anne? Quit slackin' and post 'em Kthanx

I think you're on to something!

Ok, I think I need to start growing some frag-worthy corals! I think I can frag up my one chalice, maybe an acan...

That reminds me.... my 20L has been neglected in terms of pictures! I suppose I should take some today, to get everyone thinking about what ya'll might want of mine.

LOL, I just took a few shots. Middle guy is downloading them onto the desktop for me as we speak.

Can't wait to see them!

The lights on either tank don't come up until 2:30PM around here, so it will be later this afternoon before my corals can get their faces on.

Blargh! Middle guy clicked the wrong button, now waiting for the camera to download 150 pics.

Ta-da! Lots of pics. If you can't get quality, go for quantity!

Pink Poci, polyps were extended, but pulled back in when I moved it off the sand bed this am. Should I move it back down for now?

What a purdy dog coral. Can I haz a frag?




You've got a lot of nice corals in there! I'm guessing that one photo is of an emerald crab, but he looks like an alien in your picture!

Your tank's lookin AWESOME Anne!
keep up teh good workz!

PS cool dog!

Tee hee, I figure Boris counts as one of my critters, even if he's difficult to frag.

Thanks! Yes, it's an emerald crab. Not new, but so rarely in view I had to grab a shot.

Thanks Nate!! We were posting at the same time. I'm happy with how things are coming along.

LOVE that brain!!! Encouraging me to go and get one! THey make an awesome centerpiece!

Thanks David! I was originally looking for one of the classic red and green trachys, but when I saw this guy I couldn't resist. It literally glows withOUT any lights on. Also was a great deal, I know it would have cost me at least twice what I paid if it were in MA.

Well that explains a lot!

What breed is you dog again?

Good one MJ! lol ... I totally didn't see that ... well that DEFINITELY explains it ... omw to get a brain ... FINALLY!!! lmao!!!

Anne ... yeah MA ... the Super Acid Trip Pothead Brain Coral ... indeed ... twice the price for the name!

Entlebucher Sennenhound. Smallest of the Swiss Mountain Dogs; Greater Swiss, Bernese, Appenzellers, and Entlebuchers. Working/herding dogs.



LOL. That's why I was so happy last night. Yes, they had the designer name corals, but still plenty for the peasants like myself.

oh yeah, NICE BRAIN! Seriously, that thing's awesome. now we gotta figure out how to frag your hydnophora

Yup, you walked right into that one!

Thanks, D. I would think it'd be fairly easy to clip one of the branches. Only problem; I'm a weenie, you'll have to do it yourself.

Now, I must get my day started here. Despite all of my attempts to pretend otherwise, I still need groceries and the laundry pile is still sitting there.

It's unfortunate that those things can't take care of themselves.

lol...i have a robot that does all my stuff for me.

anne, i have an interceptor pill for you. want me to mail it or think you could meet me in midtown one day? otherwise, you'll have to wait until i can get back up to your place - and with my schedule i have no clue when that will be.

Thanks for the empathy!



Hey Dan, if you could mail it that would be great. I'm feeling crushed by kiddo obligations right now, I'd be as hard pressed to get to midtown as you are getting uptown. Please send said robot along with the interceptor. kthxbai.

I would like to borrow that robot also. That dog is cool I want to smush him. I'm puppy sitting a yorkie right now cute little booger he is. Next time I will be in the city is on dec 6th for the swap at pratt or pace which ever one that is. I will be driving my stupid truck there LOL also that brain is awesome One of my favorite corals. I updated my 75 thread with pics.

Hey Kim! I just saw your pics, love the brain and the blackcap.

I haven't signed up for the frag swap, it's tricky for me to commit to things this far in advance.

I love my dog, but he isn't really a smooshy kind. Not at all yorkie like, though he sometimes gets confused and thinks he's a laptop. Never mind the fact that he doesn't actually fit in my lap.

No I just want to hug him. I have a mutt a corgi something really hairy mix. She is 12 super cute. the yorkie wants to play she just wants to sit on him very funny. The yorkie Romeo nice name isl ike a stinking bunny rabbit how he jumps around too cute.

LOL, I love your description of your dog. Keep the jumping yorkie to yourself, though. I like big dogs cause they're usually lazy in the house.

I've been walking a Bouvier recently, this is the second one I've walked, and I think I'm now in love with the breed. Sooooo sweet.

Yeah big dogs are the best I thought mine would be big she had huge paws and all big head but her legs never grew. My sister has an engilish mastiff in that brindle coloring they had a long haired english before big stinking dog at her heaviest she was 220 pounds . The little dogs are the nippers big dogs you can wrestle with. I had a shpherd mix before I got this dog She got sick and died in my arms was a horrible day was my bestest bud.

Mastiffs are great. Little dogs do tend to be nippers, and yappers. A combo I prefer to skip. Shepherds are beautiful dogs, and so smart; I know you have to really miss her.

Yeah I do miss her I want a Shiloh Shepherd there like a long haired version of a german real pretty. The people down the block just got a St Bernard lookes like a cuddly stuffed animal It's like 2-3 months old really cute I went over and hugged that 1 it was real sweet.

Whew!!!!! Just narrrowly averted an overflow disaster!

Been saying for a couple of days that I need to clean the u-tube and overflow box. The box was quickly becoming overgrown with some unknown red leafy algae.

Saw a big stomatella in there this morning; ok, that's it, time to clean it; wondering why the level in my sump had dropped so much overnight--and realized the water level in the display tank was dangererously high and rising quickly. Yikes!

All clean now, and water level back to where it should be.

Kim--I love Sts, they are so sweet, second only to Newfoundlands. If you're looking for a Shephard, my friend just got one from Germany, great dog, so much healthier than any I've seen here in America for years.
