Travis Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Had to convert 3 grams/40 gallons to X grams/7 gallons (my approximate actual water volume) which happens to be .525 grams. =((7/40)*3). Link to comment
Weasel Baron Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Lol, ever sell frags? Every time my old tank would get overgrown I'd sell a bunch of the coral off to make room. my buddies and I would be relaxing in my living room and a few times a night someone would knock on the door; they'd hand me a couple hundred dollars and I'd hand them a styrofoam box, close the door, and offer to buy drinks that night.

BluCrab Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I feel like a drug deal every time I make a deal for a coral in a parking lot , or pull up to a house that I've never visited. Reminds me of the old days when you had to hunt around for a dime sack! lol I'm going to have to invest in a scale like that, I hope my wife doesn't think I'm slanging grams.

Markburns43 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Got minenfor 40 bucks I think at your local smokers discount! Its a nice one but I'm sure the 10 dollar would have done the job=/ Link to comment
AdamNC Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I used to use my scale to weigh baby snakes after they hatch.....it's since been converted to weighing reef supplements. I used to live in Florida and what your doing was nicknamed Florida Math, I'll let you figure out why it's called that lol. Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 How about the time that I traded a frag for some fish inside a jack in the box? The guy brought a bucket and I had a zip loc bag. The people in there where like "what the.....?". Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 What about the other time that I had to watch the new SpongeBob movie with my daughter right after I had bought a coral from the LFS. Since it was too cold outside, I had to put the bag inside my internal pocket of my jacket that is pretty big and go into the movie theater just like that. Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Cops have questioned me on several occasions. Once for meeting in a shop-co parking lot with a bag full of chaeto another for some leather frags. In the instance of the leather frags he still tried to find a way of charging me with transportation/selling of exotic species. Me and cops don't seem to get along so well. Link to comment
RK_tek Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I had a fun time with TSA once flying a firefish and a mandarin back from Oregon. I had put the bags in a Nalgene bottle in case of any leaks and I tried to tell the x-Ray 'tech' at security I was traveling with live fish but she was too busy gossiping. Needless to say, they were very unhappy I wa traveling with over 3 ounces of liquid. The guy that had to swab the bottle for explosives was really cool and told them to all chill out. He used to have a reef tank and was really excited about seeing SW fish. Link to comment
VW_TDI_02 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I feel similar with my planted freshwater tank. Potassium Nitrate, Mono Potassium Phosphate, and Potassium Sulfate. Three bags of white powder and another bag of brown powder (Plantex CSM+ would be an interesting find if the cops ever searched my apartment. Link to comment
Neill.w Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 My neighbor started coughing loudly as she walked past when I was selling a clear Ziplock bag of green chaetomorpha to some guy from eBay. He had facial tattoos which probably did not help the situation... Link to comment
