metrokat Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 So apparently my tank sitter has earned quite a fan following. If you're new to this on going chronicle, I'm starting over, just for you. It all started with an order from Reefcleaners back in September while I was travelling Sept 15: gtalk convo with my tank sitter: kat: is the pkg from Florida there yet? tank sitter (TS): no a little later kat: is it there yet? ts: no a little later kat: i just got a delivery notification from the concierge ITS THERE. kat: hello? ts: yes everything is in the tank kat: BE GONE EVIL CYNO. JOHNS ARMY IS HERE. RAWR. ts: did you have sugar cookies with your tea today? kat: so how many soldiers were in the pkg? ts: about 50 give or take kat: oh okay. i ordered 26 ts: then they must be 26 kat: how may baggies were in the package? ts: dont remeber maybe 3 kat: shoulda been 5 ts: then there were 5 kat: youre not helping dont make me come over there! ts: it was fine. small snails. one plant. kat: thats a macro, is it cute? ts: ITS A PLANT kat: fine! a little later: kat: what are the soldiers doing? ts: dont know. how long before they eat the purple stuff kat: not sure ill ask John ts: who is John kat: a rockstar if you read the forums ts: you got your snails from a celebrity? kat: no john is the owner of the company tha sent the snails. hopefully they will make a dent in the really bad algae on the left side ts: that side is all clean. kat: huh?? i got the snails for that left side! you sent me pics remembr. its was black! ts: yes but i covered that side with paper like you said last week so no light got to it. its practically clean. kat: WHAT?! i mean that is good but you just asked me how long before they eat "that purple stuff" ts: yes the purple stuff that is on all the rocks. light purple dark purple kat: THAT'S CORALLINE ALGAE! ts: isnt this hobby supposed to be relaxing? drink some camomile tea or something! ts goes offline and sends a lame video of the macro John sent me. 5 Quote Link to comment
paneubert Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I would crap myself wondering what they would mess up while I was gone. It sounds like they were balanced right on the edge of dumping table salt in your tank at any point. I would not have even wanted to talk to them while I was gone for fear of hearing what they did to my tank Quote Link to comment

Felicia Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) This just makes me realize how crazy we all sound to people not into aquariums. I was excitedly telling all of my friends about my new corals the other day, and then said that I was done buying stuff for a while until everything has grown out and filled the tank in. My friend's response was, "So what do you do with the tank then?" And I said, "It just sits there and its relaxing to watch." Friend's response, "So basically, you're going to be spending your free time sitting around watching coral grow?" - accompanied by the *You've lost your mind look*.
