Stares at tank for a few minutes.

 

TS: This tank is missing something

Kat: Oh?

TS: One of those ship wrecks or treasure chest things

Kat: (raises eyebrows)

TS: Yeah, the fish goes in there and lives in the wreck and goes in and out of the treasure chest.

Kat: ....

TS: look, let me show you. (Pulls up image from google)

TS: That, that would be cool.

Sent the link to those $2500 kratakoa palys to my dad the other day. Keep in mind he is visiting me at the moment.

Dad: (stands in front of tank) where is it?
Kat: what?
Dad: that coral you bought?
Kat: (moment of confusion since I've bought a LOT recently) err which coral?
Dad: the one on eBay for 2000.
Kat: oh! Ha ha no I didn't buy that
Dad: (looks at me with a funny expression)
Kat: what
Dad: be honest, which one of these is it?
Kat: I didn't buy it! I swear!
Dad: okay I better tell your mother you haven't gone nuts then.

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.

Sounds like your tank sitter is too busy being fabulous.
