FlowerMama Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Very unusual but today there were 2 cop cars that rolled down my dead end street. None of them peered in so I guess it wasn't me. Link to comment

natalia_la_loca Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I have some carnivorous plants growing under a light near a window. Once a black helicopter approached, and just hovered directly over our house. I was sitting on the back porch. I waved hello. Link to comment

DC5 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I sold a couple of frags to a guy a few years ago, and I was worried he wouldn't be able to find my house (numbering is weird, even with GPS). I asked how he found it so easily and he said "I looked for the blue windows!". Link to comment
I4O9 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 This has nothing to do with blue windows, but I spend more time fawning over my pistol shrimp than I do my dog. He just went through another molt today, I'm so proud <3 Link to comment

I don't have any kids but I do this over my 2 mantis shrimp and dog for sure! Link to comment

I don't know how many times I've gone in and said, I"m trying to use something not for the function that was intended..because sometimes you have to be creative but you'll know it when you see it.

Mirya Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Like I said in Natalia's thread the other day... Given this list of items: surgical scalpels, box cutters, razor blades, screwdriver, paring knife, wood chisel. You know you are a reefer if you identify these as fragging tools! Anyone else would think it is a list of items prohibited from carrying on a flight. Link to comment
joy13 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 When you hoping for 12 hour work days so you will have extra money for a frag swap. Then you have to take a day off before and after just so can have the energy to spend the money and enjoy the reward afterwards. Weekend of frag swap take Friday off to clean tanks and move corals around. Rest or start the road trip depending on where it is. Saturday go to swap spend all you have and wonder where you are going to put it all wished you would have gotten more. Get home dip and check over all frags for anything you don't want in the tank. Put in frags call reefing buddy up and say "I got you something special for your tank." not really just don't have room for it, then figure out the leather is to close to some zoas and "wait a minute there are the zoas I got for you let me dip them again so we know they are good." Sunday another small water change on tanks sit back relax and rest. Monday off still resting and looking at the goodies thinking next time I am going to get less. Take a few pictures just to record the growth of the new corals. Reefing buddy thinks it is great you thought of them and you are happy you can see the corals you didn't have room for grow.

evanski Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 When you get weird looks at the grocery store for having a cart filled with 2.5 gallon jugs of distilled water Would argue you are not REALLY a reefer then...you need a RODI system! Link to comment

skyscraper2290 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Would argue you are not REALLY a reefer then...you need a RODI system! Not allowed to install a RODI unit and the closest "LFS" is 90+ miles away. So I do what I have to for decent water. I can tell you one thing and that is I'm never using tap water. Link to comment
