If it's as nasty as he is describing it I am going to be covered in Red Slime Algae! BLEH Well you would not want that ... a hose and spray it all out and use bleach or whatever to get it totally clean and in good shape to start it back up but then that is nothing new as I am sure that is probably what you were going to do anyway Happy new tank keeping :-) Link to comment

No sand in this one I want to try a BB tank in the nano. Very, very nice. I <3 Poe. Thank you so much, awesome of you to drop in and thanks for the compliment I will let Poe know! Link to comment
HVani Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Sorry I haven't posted here in a while, you can only say "Holy cow this tank is awesome!" so many times before it becomes annoying I always enjoy the pictures though. I love your fish selection and I'm considering a midas of my own. Link to comment

Okay Guys I am doing it, I am getting a Squamosa hopefully next week Wednesday! The LFS has a really awesome one that has been there about 3 weeks and I am sure he will be there again as their Ultra Maximas go for $70 and he is not as "Pretty" as them. IMO he is far prettier with his green rim. Updates this Sunday when I have a new baby to manage! Sorry I haven't posted here in a while, you can only say "Holy cow this tank is awesome!" so many times before it becomes annoying I always enjoy the pictures though. I love your fish selection and I'm considering a midas of my own. Thanks and so good to hear from you, I need to start posting more again but life has kind of become hectic. And you know the person it's being said to can never hear it enough! Can always use a different version like " HEY YOU TANK IS ROCKIN" LOL Thanks again you guys keep me feeling good about the tank and my abilities. I really think the added water volume and the Macros have helped it become a more stable reef system and the pods are crawling all over the glass even with the Mandarin, I may have to find him a girl if he keeps getting fatter and fatter!

FlCandy Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Sounds like a plan ... and rinse rinse rinse a lot .. :-) Oh yes! A power rinse! Oh and on a funnier side! HOW TO WASH THE CAT by THE DOG 1. Thoroughly clean the toilet. 2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted. 3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find. 5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power wash and rinse" which I have found to be quite effective. 6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door. 7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids. 8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself. Sincerely, The DOG I LMFAO I love this one. Oldie but goodie! Link to comment

gena Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I can't bathe my cats anymore. I think they are too old for it now. Last time I gave my one cat a bath, he retaliated by peeing on my son's bed. Lesson learned....NOT doing that again Link to comment

Wow they take that long and then charge you a hefty fee on top of it ... not good I say ! Link to comment

Nope not good, oh well should have the cash soon or I will file some sort of complaint. Still got a good price for the camera I am pleased with the profit. You guys bathe your cats?? Are they inside/outside? Inside and yes once a year I do helps to get the nasty undercoat out of there. Its more of a torture chamber for me then the cat, I always look like I got attacked by freddie kruger and have cuts all down my arms. Link to comment
gena Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 You guys bathe your cats?? Are they inside/outside? I only did last year because the fleas were so bad and I didn't want to use chemical treatment on them. I'm more into holistic healing. Unfortunately, it was so bad I had to resort to the chemicals. But typically, I do not bathe my cats. Too much hassle and too dangerous, on many levels Randi, so cool that Albert is gonna use one of your photos for his book cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment

LMAO So glad as I would not be able to chose. Well indeed they are all so nice and good that it is hard to decide which one to use for the cover ... but I will use some of the others in the book, and other members have given me the OK to use some of theirs for the inside of the book, and I thank them for that, and will send them a free signed copy + a free e=pub version as well. Orders are coming in nicely ... better than I expected actually as only members on this forum know about it really (at least for now although there has been some talk about it on FB and a Radio Show host contacted me to do a talk about it on Nov 21 ( I posted the info on my thread) and that should help get the word out as well) Thanks to all of you ... if you wish to get on the pre-order list, just PM me ... Sorry to high jack the thread here somewhat ... apologies .. Link to comment

I have kind of spread the work with the PBMAS crew her in South FL and there was another member who was willing to let you use his pics as well. I can forward them to your email if you would like. I have 6 mangroves now! One of which has leaves starting on it so happy! Link to comment
FlCandy Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 looks great, Randi! Look at you! How goes it Joel! Okay got the Nano, its a NanoCubeDX So sweet! Cleaning it now got fish and starfish acclimating by drip line, so they don't go into shock from Nitrates not being there. They didn't do WC at all! The rock is awesome with Macros on it already I am so excited! Link to comment

I have 6 mangroves now! One of which has leaves starting on it so happy! Thanks FlCandy ... I appreciate it and I sent you a PM about the pics ... 6 Mangroves ... nice ... and if leaves are starting to show that is always a good sign .. the roots should lengthen as well and btw they can get very long if they have the space for it Was at my LFS the other day and he has some in his frag tanks stuck through a little piece of styro, so just enough is in the water an the rest sticking out above it, and a couple had roots that were over a foot long for sure .. They do help in nutrient control but not a great deal but of course if you have 6 you are going to get far better depletion of nutrients ... but then you may not have that high levels anyway since your tank looks soooooo Good Link to comment
