The Return of the Tank Sitter

So my dad is visiting. This morning:

 

Kat: You haven't even looked at my tank. Very bad.

Dad: Okay. I'm looking now. What am I supposed to be looking at?

Kat: The tank! I've been featured on several sites, won some recognition

Dad: oh, but it looks the same like it did in January when I saw it.

Kat: It's grown more, getting fuller

Dad: Maybe you need a bigger tank?

I ordered some plants for my terrarium so many months ago and just last week my dad comes in and says, "when did you add those"?

And my friends think all aquariums look alike. Laypeople. :closedeyes:

On Bella the Mandarin receiving a Time out in the breeder net.

 

TS: Which is that fish?

Kat: What fish?

TS: That fish that is being punished. Is it being punished?

Kat: Yeah that's Bella

TS: Who is Bella?

Kat: That fish

TS: You never had a Bella fish before?

Kat: Bella is Draco's girlfriend

TS: So you have TWO Draco ugly fishes now?

Kat: Draco is not ugly and Bella is not Draco

TS: :rolleyes:

Kat: She was beating up on him so she got a time out. She's already feeling sorry for herself.

TS: :rolleyes:

Kat: What!

lol, how old is your TS?

 

Also, this reminds me of a certain Abbott and Costello skit...

Older than me ;)

 

He's quite cool, but he says things that make me want to beat him. He knows about this thread, gets a sly smile every time I mention I made a post.

 

When I moved the tank he INSISTED I had to have an uninterrupted power supply. Oh!! I forgot the clam conversation we had this morning!

IF you can afford it, an uninterrupted power supply is a godsend for things like this, networks, etc. Unfortunately, they are $$$ for a good one.

 

I'm getting the itch Kat. Bad. I'm trying to wait, but I want to have a tank right meow. Those PiCO IIIs are pretty damn nice...

I have to admit reading through some of the pages on this thread was definetly funny especially the part where your ts said they didn't send any ammonia in the bag and the best was you have fungus in your tank on one of the corals when all along it was your sps Ora bird lmao totally hilarious

I think the TS is just playing along for laughs now :D

You missed the part where one day out of the blue he renamed my cat Mumford and his kids started calling my cat Mumford. DROVE ME CRAZY!

 

Kat: Did you feed Bogi? (the cat)

TS: Who?

Kat: Bogi!

TS: Oh you mean Mumford. Nope.

 

:angry:

Yah I got a UPS on the set up now. Itch is bad eh? :flower:

Itch is really bad. Like, bad bad. As in I'm already designing a room in our next place (which we don't have, nor have we looked at any) around a 20L and homebrewing equipment... I'm trying to think of a way to use 1 RO/DI for both homebrewing AND the tank. I wonder if that would work?

Why wouldn't it? It just makes nice water. :P

Yeah, I'm just looking into whether or not I'd have to add stuff back for the beer. I don't think I would, and I only need like 5 gallons per batch of beer, so it shouldn't kill the life of the RO/DI unit.

TS: That yellow tang you had was the best fish ever

Kat: Tang? What tang?

TS: The yellow tang

Kat: I've never had a yellow tang

TS: You did, you called him Big Bird or Lorax or something

Kat: OH! that was the clown gobi.

TS: That was not a clown, it was a tang. And you murdered it.

Kat: I did not! I put him in the sump and he jumped into the skimmer section

TS: Murderer

So which one was it? Big Bird or Lorax?

He was called Big Bird before he was called Lorax. We also called him cutie, and Mr. Yellow. :rolleyes:



What?! so now the TS is with the Tang Police?!

He might be reading the forum, I'm going to have to block the site from his computer or install reef nanny to block certain sites.

TS: Who is Reefs to go?

Kat: They are an online vendor

TS: Why are they calling ME?

Kat: I don't know, why are they calling you?

TS: They said my order has shipped and when to expect it, did you order something

Kat: Yeah some Mexican T... (mumbling as I was waist deep in a box of shiit)

TS: This is a FOOD delivery?

Kat: What? NO! No, I ordered...

TS: Let me guess more stinky fishy stuff

Kat: Well yeah I'm going to be gone for 2 weeks the tank needs some reinforcements

TS: Make sure the bugs don't fall on the carpet this time (side note: okay my last Reefs 2 Go pod order was a little bit of a mess :blush:)

Kat: okay okay

TS: But why are they calling ME?

Kat: I don't know

TS: (looking suspicious) Very fishy.

Kat: (to my niece) I got a HUGE snail floating in the tank, you want to see?

Niece: (Starts shaking) No thanks

Kat: It's cool though, it's called a Mexican Turbo snail.

TS: why is is floating?

Kat: Because it's huge, I can't keep it

TS: Why did you order it?

Kat: Didn't know they were going to send me this big size

TS: Let's see this snail

TS: OMG! THAT's HUGE!

Kat: ya. I've texted Vinny, I'm going to give it to him as his anniversary present today.

TS: Why don't you just put it in the river?

Niece: Because it's from Mexico papa, this is New York.
