what exactly did you get to nuke them?

Interceptor.

ok thanks

No problem!

WIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!

I predict annihilation sir!!!

Exxxxxcellleeeent!!

Ok, here goes:



Red bug free?

IKABOOM! Victory!

Excellent! I was worried, but the fresh tankwater rinse really did the trick. That and the turkey baster. For your admirable assistance, DH has been awarded with MJ's Medal of Freedom:

:salute!:

It's so nice to be red bug free. So, what are the chances that eggs survived?

How'd the Tac Nuke work?
IME i did one treatment and never saw the buggers again, so you should be fine.

It worked like a dream! With the nuke + a Turkey Baster bomb, the red bugs didn't stand a chance!

AWESOMENESS

Now that the tri-color acro is taken care of, I need to go after the deep red acro in the 20L. That's a project for tomorrow.

Good work sir! RIP red bugz

May i recommend a chem agent for this mission sir?
I suggest we use an Interceptor cruise missile with a payload of Cynaide.

Unfortunately, cyanide would cause too much collateral damage to the natives.

Somehow I missed this last night. I actually hope the red bugs rot.





I was going to do a slow light acclimation for my new SPS in this tank, but once I started thinking about it today, they were under MH and about 12" away from the light in their original tank, so my tank shouldn't be a shock for them. I need to get some more putty and superglue tomorrow, and I think I'll place them in their new locations. Any problems with that? I've never done this with acros before.

If your light is no stronger than the one they were under, I don't see a problem--but I'm no SPS expert.

That's what I'm thinking too! Plus, I'm not sure when my frag rack will be cleared from the 20L, and I don't think the acros will do all that well on the sand bed for long.

Well, my last in-class exam of law school EVER begins soon!


Oh, and where has TCK been lately? Maybe I should mention aliens or a conspiracy.... that will get him here.


THERE'S AN ALIEN CONSPIRACY TO USE SNOW TO GAIN ACCESS TO OUR BRAINS!!!!!

YAY! so ALL of the buggers are gone?
what if they come again

PS you need moar pitchuerz.
oh and do you have an Xbox with CODMW2?

Yup, all of the buggers are gone. If they come back, I've got more nuclear weapons waiting for them!

I'll see what I can do about pictures. I need to stop at the store today to pick up some more putty, and once the acro frags are placed, I'll take pictures!

Yup, I have MW2 on 360. I haven't been on in ages, but if I can get the stuff around the house done today, I might get on tonight.

if you do get on add me
SGTBernardo.

Wilco!

Glad to hear the interceptor knocked those buggers out. I haven't seen another one on mine since doing it, so I think it's good.

That's what I like to hear! When I kill something, I want it good and dead. I HATE zombies.

Ok, pictures are uploading!

The results from the ethics portion of the licensure exam came in today, from the exam I took about a month ago. I passed! Weird, I know, me passing an ethics exam.

Now it's just passing these last three finals (the easy part) and then passing the 3 day bar exam (the insanely ridiculously hard part).

Woo Hoo!!!!! Congrats!

and now I'd like to register my complaint. Why didn't you focus on education law instead of sueing the gubment law?

You sue the gobmens ass off MJ. Sue em to hell.

Thanks!



Education law just isn't sexy. After all, I enjoy working in an area of law where everyone looks at me and goes "WTF?"



It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it. And if I just so happen to have fun in the process, what's a fella to do?

Hmmm, snowed here Saturday
Mebe dats why I dosed two part into mah terlit and pee'd in mah tank?

'grats on passing bud!

THAT'S PROOF!!!

I tink itz time we gets out da tin foil hatz.



Thanks!

so when's the bar exam?

Every night after school!!!!

so MJ, which one's vet school girl and which one's german bakery girl?

February 23, 24, and 25th. Talk about crappy!



Nah...... that's BAR REVIEW.

And the ladies help me study.

Congrats on passing the exam!
tank is lovely so far i sez.

Thanks! I'm rather relieved to not have to worry about that test anymore.



I'm really happy with how it's turning out. My next trick is to get a bit more flow. I don't think the 400GPH of return + the K1 and K-n are doing quite enough yet. I'm hoping to add another K1 where the nano currently is located, and move the K-n to the center of the back wall.

I can't wait to see this tank grow!

Well, I just took care of my flow issues. $20 to fiction101 for another K1!

now take care of that bakery girl

thought it was the vet chick?

Well, I'm hanging out for a bit with the bakery girl... but it's the vet chick that I'm interested in. Can't do anything with her for a while though. So, I'm making the best of the interim.

So I discovered a problem with my plan to use the 15g as a sump for the 20L: The base of the tank won't fit within the footprint of my stand. The 15g tank's dimensions are 16"x20"x14" (WxLxH). However, the width of the sump area of the stand is only 14", but 27" long, two inches short.

So... I have three options: (1) try to find a 20H to use as a sump; (2) do as I've done with the 29g and use a 10g; or (3) set up the sump outside of the stand. I'm not a big fan of 3, because this tank is in my office, and I'd like to keep things as streamlined as possible. 2 isn't great, because it's only 10g more water, and I've seen how quickly a 10g becomes crowded with equipment. 1 isn't spectacular, because I really don't want to fork of the cash for what the local stores charge for a new tank; so this option relies on finding one used in the area. Plus, I'm not sure how efficiently I could use the space of a 20H, given that it only provides an extra 4" in length and 2" of depth beyond a 10g.

If it's not one thing, it's another.

At this point, I'm leaning toward option 2 (10g), because I can readily pick one up for $10 or so. I'd be saving money over option 3, while only losing about 8" sq of space. It also keeps the streamlined appearance that I want for the office.
