Astinus Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 TBH, I am kind of doubtful of Eggplant I really don't care to much for it. BUT! I certainly will look into it. Torshi has 2 styles. A Baghdad and a Mosul. 1 is a very spicy dark brown and the other is more of a Pickle Brine color. (Yellow) 1 Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I need to find some stroopwaffles for Christmas presents this year. I think my co-worker found them (or something very similar) at Sam's Club! 1 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yay! Welcome back! Hope you still have some blood left 1 Quote Link to comment
Merthynia Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Awww yisss did you get a SSD? Solid state hard drive? No. Do they even have those for laptops? To be completely honest, the shop I went through was so shady and didn't bother to ask me if I wanted them to replace the hard drive, they just did it and then charged me. Yay! Welcome back! Hope you still have some blood left Good thing that marrow is always cranking out more! 1 Quote Link to comment

Laptops use two kinds, either 2.5" standard drives (which are dirt cheap) or M.2 slots if newer, but those are SSD only, so you'd know if you had one lol. A 250GB Samsung 850 Evo can be had for about a hundred bucks, and there are dozens of free software options to clone your drive to the other, or just reinstall the OS from scratch, also super easy nowadays 1 Quote Link to comment

It took them 5 weeks, many many many phone calls and different stories and a lot of frustration. I paid $80 for the damn hd (it was already installed), windows 10 (which I didn't want anyways) and then $$$$ labor. I would have trusted you a million times more. Quote Link to comment

Holy shit, I got a replacement laptop in at work this morning and it took me about 10 minutes to get it imaged, added to our domain, and ready for students to log in to it. Even more than a couple of days (excluding time it would take to get a replacement drive, but it's something that every shop needs to have a few on hand for simple things likes this). 1 Quote Link to comment
Sancho Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 5 weeks...holy hell now I don't feel so bad about what I'm dealing with today. I've been stuck at an Amazon fulfiment center in San Bernadino all damn day. We don't have local I.T. So i had to drive 2 hours this morning to have my hard drive swapped out for a SSD. The IT person didn't image the disc correctly so when I went to pick it up they told me it's gonna be another 3 hours.......lame 1 Quote Link to comment

Merthynia Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 sooo... tank pics? Haha, you guys are relentless! I do need to take some new pictures of the tank. They've all been a bit neglected over the past few months, I need to make an order with John and restock my cleanup crew. 3 Quote Link to comment
Merthynia Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Browsed through this thread tonight! What a wonderful trip down memory lane! I very recently set this tank back up to house the gsp I’m working on removing from my large tank. These are the current images. There are currently two zebra hermits and a red-headed goby in this tank currently. This tank again sits to my left when I’m in my recliner and my 30 gallon sits to my right. I forgot how lush and full this tank was before. That is going to be my goal again with tiny frags from my big tank and whatever I can find at the LFS. 5 Quote Link to comment
gena Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 A blast from the past!!!! I do and always will love the classic picotopes! Wish I would have hung onto one of the two I've had over the years LOL. The GSP looks fantastic in there...love that last photo with the goby 🥰. Can't wait to see how this turns out!!!! I know it's gonna be gooooood 😊. 3 Quote Link to comment

His name is Sprinkle. I thought about holding off to get another little group of GBGs, but I’ll be honest, getting a fish ordered into one of my LFS has proved impossible. Out of the 6 fish I have requested, they have managed to find none of them. 4 Quote Link to comment

I was thinking if I ever add another fish to my tank, it will be 1 GBG. 2 Quote Link to comment

I checked out the site, it didn’t list them, but did have several other goby species! I love the look of the masked gobies also. How could you resist having a little school of them? I’m positive if I ever do add some of the tiny goby species to my large tank, it’ll probably be a small group of 3. I just can’t resist them! 1 Quote Link to comment

I did send them an email asking if they are expecting to have them in the future. I'll let you know what I find out! The masked gobies are super cute. They swim more than the other types but stay low in the aquarium. Most of those gobies like to perch, and the masked will do that, but from my experience they like to hover more. The photos of the masked goby and the neon gobies, on KPA's website, are from my tank actually!!!! LOL I'm not as crazy about the neon gobies. They have been "nippers" for me. They will nip at corals/clams sometimes. I won't keep them anymore because of that risk. No issues with the masked or GBG though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I love them so much. 🙂 I’d much rather get the masked goby, or GBG than a neon to be honest. My little red cap goby is also just darling in my tiny tank. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that they have good news for you! 2 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Picotopes are a favorite of mine. I started cycling this on 7/24 as a QT tank. 3 Quote Link to comment
