Sorry Opy, I missed your post. It seems like Revive is hit and miss. I might get it in the future, for preventative dips, because it sounds like it does a decent job at least for that. I'm glad it worked for you though!

Oh, and thanks pisces for bringing this problem to my attention. Somehow I managed to look right passed what now seems very obvious to me. Looks like the Barrel now has our first pest Eagle Eye!

I was just thinking the same thing. I think it's a good idea.

Plus, at least around here, it's about $8 for a bottle. My understanding is that a cap full treats one gallon of dip, so it sounds like it would go a long ways!

Nothing around here is $8.00. I'll keep it in mind for the next time I place a dry goods order from the good Drs.

Yeah, I forgot that things are fairly pricey out your way. I couldn't believe how bad things were when I was in NYC / Manhattan in March. Here, even two-part can be bought for $13, and most of my coral frags were between $5 and $15.

It also helps to have the storefront of an online retailer being about 5 to 10 minutes away.

LOL, I have the storefront of an online dealer close to me too, but it's Unique Corals.

Where are you at Anne?
Ty who is in your town? Coral frags in the ville are alot more than that. Like one polyp of any brown paly or zoa is 10 smackers. I hate it. Hence the reason that I dont have a buncha coralz in muh tank.

Wow, that's pricey!

I've got Phishy Business as my LFS.

I'm in Manhattan. Sorry to hear that you also feel the pain of overpriced frags. It forces me to be very choosy, and appreciative of what I've got.

But arent they all hit or miss? I mean heart worm meds may or may not decimate your pod poulation. The last thing you want in a war zone is to have mass genocide. This could have a catastrophic impact to the peace talks (if indeed there are any). I mean right now is kind of a standoff in your tank but once a nuke is launched then you know the end is near.

The up-side, though, is that I can reintroduce a pod population through an addition of cheato from an established tank. The 20L also doesn't have any fish, so the bio-load is minimal and the pods are overgrown as is! I have monster pods!

All of this reminds me of a lawyer joke....

Lawyers are like nuclear bombs. You only have one because the other side does, and once you use them, you can kiss everything goodbye!

In other news.... a trial I've been working on for a while finally took place today. Talk about a LOOOOOONNNGG day. We even had an expert testify by live feed from California, a first for this Court apparently. Tomorrow morning begins the post-trial work, so the fun continues!

Yea my work tank is the same way. I was scared when I saw thier molt floating around for the first time.

What do you think about the K-1 and K-nano for flow? I'm helping my friend gather equipment for a 29g and was thinking 2 K-1s. I've read that some people have trouble with too much flow from a K-1 in the 28-29g AIO cubes, but I would imagine the extra length of the AGA 29g would need a bit more.

I've got the K1, K-nano and about 400GPH from the return pump, and I'm not sure that it's enough! Two K1s would definitely not be overkill for an AGA29. Now, the Cubes might be different, but I still think two K1s would be just fine, especially if you point them toward each other and get a diffused current. After all, I had the K1, K-nano and an old school powerhead in my 20L and it was not enough for my taste with SPS.

HTH

Interceptor will cause some collateral damage but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Why is it so bad that a bus with a bunch of lawyers drove off a cliff?
There were two empty seats.

What's the problem with lawyer jokes?
Lawyer's don't think they're funny, and no one else thinks they're jokes

Tis true. The tree of liberty (and reef tanks) must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.



Two prisoners are talking about their crimes:

John: "I robbed a bank, and they gave me 20 years"

Bob: "Hmm. I killed a man, and I'm here for 3 days"

John: "*WHAT*??? I rob a bank and get 20 years; you kill a man and get 3 days???"

Bob: "Yeah, it was a lawyer."




True story! Ok, here's another.

Why God Created Lawyers

Satan was complaining bitterly to God, "You made the world so that it was not fair, and you made it so that most people would have to struggle every day, fight against their innate wishes and desires, and deal with all sorts of losses, grief, disasters, and catastrophes. Yet people worship and adore you. People fight, get arrested, and cheat each other, and I get blamed, even when it is not my fault. Sure, I'm evil, but give me a break. Can't you do something to make them stop blaming me?"

And so God created lawyers.




Gotta love lawyer jokes!

How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb?

Fifty four. Eight to argue, one to get a continuance, one to object, one to demur, two to research precedents, one to dictate a letter, one to stipulate, five to turn in their time cards, one to depose, one to write interrogatories, two to settle, one to order a secretary to change the bulb, and twenty-eight to bill for professional services.

I think you forgot one. You need one to appeal the change.



A lawyer was filling out a job application when he came to the question: "Have you ever been arrested?"

He answered no to the question.

The next question, intended for those who answered the preceding question with a yes, was "why?" Nevertheless, the lawyer answered it "Never got caught."

What's the difference between a good lawyer and a great lawyer?
A good lawyer knows the law. A great lawyer knows the judge.

Upon seeing an elderly lady for the drafting of her will, the attorney charged her $100.

She gave him a $100 bill, not noticing that it was stuck to another $100 bill.

On seeing the two bills stuck together, the ethical question came to the attorney's mind: "Do I tell my partner?"

You've gotta love lawyer jokes. The sad thing is that I'm feeling like crap today (going to the doc's this afternoon), and all of this laughing hurts!

Okay, I'll stop.

lol great jokes

Well, you can continue, but I'll have to wear blinders in this thread.

I'm hoping that after my visit to the doc, I'll come home with some good drugs.

Ok no more lawyer jokes... on to doctor jokes

A man comes into the Emergency Room and yells, "My wife’s going
To have her baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab,
Lifted the lady’s dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly
I noticed that there were several cabs, and I was in the wrong one.

That would be priceless to watch.

.....and that's how I met my wife...

Couldn't help myself opy

That line was all set up.

It was tee'd up.... dead center in the cross hairs...just had to pull the trigger.

lol I know, I almost replied by saying that's how I met your wife too but that would have just been going too far. Although I do have a friend that I could have said that to without being knocked on the floor. lol

Explaining that one the first time you met the folks had to be fun.



Yup, you're right. In fact, I would have been disappointed if someone hadn't taken advantage of it.



That's gotta be an interesting friend.

So, in other news.... I went to the doc today. They told me I'm not actually sick.

Instead, I was having a pretty bad allergic reaction to something. No idea what it is, but I have some allergy drugs now. The lady said that a certain part of the nasal cavity turns red if infected and pale if allergic. She said that mine was almost white, that's how bad the allergy was. If it's something at home setting it off, now's good timing, because I'm staying at my folks house for a couple nights. I should be better by the time I come back, and then it will be time for a spring-cleaning-in-the-winter cleaning.

^^^ I would expect nothing less.




Feel better soon buddy.

Thanks! I've decided to get out of the house for a while tonight, hoping that it will help. It was amazing, that after being out of the house for about 30 minutes earlier today, I was starting to feel better even then. Hopefully the drugs plus a few hours out of the house tonight will work even more miracles.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this^translates to, "Doc said I don't have anything communicable, so I'm going out to party."

Feel better!

That's a pretty good translation! I think the literal translation, however, is "Doc said I don't have anything communicable, and an attractive lady asked me to go out country dancing with her tonight, so I'm going out."





Thanks!

Hope she isn't wearing a skirt in the taxi.....

Yee haw, cowboy!

Have fun!!

She doesn't seem like the skirt-wearing type. However, if she is wearing one tonight, you might have to call me doctor.



As I always say: save a horse, ride a cowboy!



Will do!

Glad your feeling better. So that said can we go back to the lawyer jokes?...


Okay so there is an American, Cuban, German, and a lawyer on a train.

The German opens a brand new bottle of rare vodka. He pours himself a shot, sips it, then opens the window and tosses it and the botttle out. Everyone goes ape. He says "Where I am from we have so much of this stuff we can just throw it away."

The Cuban fellow opens up a humidor filled with excelent hand rolled Cuban cigars. He selects one, punches the foot and brings it to life. He takes a few draws then tosses it and the others out of the trains windows. Everyone yells with his stupidity. He says just as the German had "We have so much of this at home we can just toss them out.

Almost instantly the American jumps up and grabs the lawyer. He shoves him through the trians window and says I am sure that where you are from is just like America we have WAY to many of these guys where I come from.

Everyone stands and aplauds the American for his actions.

I like it!

Thought you would.

Hey what do you call 100 dead lawyers on the bottom of a lake?

A barrister reef?

No,

A good start!

I had a feeling that might be your angle.

Why don't sharks attack lawyers?



Professional Courtesy.

Kinda lame I know.

I dunno, BC their to tough.

Oh gotta go, Dirty Jobs is on.

Man he should work beside a lawyer.

You guys have waaaaaay too much time on your hands. Anyhow, since I actually read the whole thread, I now have a couple things to say.

Congrats on finishing law school (almost), my cousin became a lawyer last year.

You guys have too much time on your hands.

I like the way your 29 looks, I've detrimmed a 29 and will be starting it at the beginning of 2010.

Too much time... waaaay too much time...

Do you think 150W of MH is enough for a tank of that depth (if I wanted to keep SPS in the upper half of the tank) or would I be better off with 175 (or even 250, might be overkill on a 29 though)?

Did I mention you guys are hilarious (and have too much time on your hands)?

My wife and her sister always got sick like that and now my wife is on permanent sinus meds. Her sister didnt listen and still gets the cruds every other month.

Then there is me... I'm just alergic to work

I hope you feel better.


and I was going to hope for him that she is wearing one


I lol'ed


yes, yes, yes aaaaand yes

I think that's the standard reaction to this thread. At this point, I think it deserves a clinical description. Perhaps "Barrelitis?" "Monkeysitosis?"



Thanks! As of right now, I have two days of class left, ever. It's great!



Can't wait to see it!



I've never had MH, but I'd venture a guess of 'Yup.' I'll put it this way: I've got 96w of T5HO on this tank, and I've got SPS at the mid-range of the tank. You should be just fine with 150w of MH, but I'll defer to the MH crowd.



We try. It helps when work and school both involve me being in front of a computer all day long.



Yeah, I have a feeling I'll be on meds year round now too. I really hate meds.

haha I think I'm allergic to work as well!

Oh, and nope, no skirt last night.

Well at least you didn't have to worry about needreefunds taking off her undies.
