ScubaEthan Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Not sure yet ... Well if you visit Atlanta, call me up! Looks like the weather was gorgeous for your trip! The beach photos make me almost miss Florida a bit, but then I remember the 95 degree heat with 100% humidity that you can't see in the picture I've also got the ginger complexion, so I never did well at the beach and was always the pale Floridian that stood out like a sore thumb. Glad you had fun though! Did you not get any diving in while you were there? That's what I miss most about Florida is being able to dive without my 7mm wetsuit, hood, gloves, and boots. Yeah the sun and I are not the best of friends. Northern California sounds nice I did not dive. I hate to sound like a snob, but I have dove in Florida and all over the Caribbean and Hawaii and it just doesn't compare. Not that I wouldn't... just not this trip. Which Petco were you at? The few I've been to in the ATL metro area haven't had corals or saltwater fish worth mentioning. I found the yumas at the Petco in Edgewood. Their fish and corals are nothing worth mentioning either, unless you mention the sorry state most are in. But sometimes you can catch a good deal and you can usually tell the difference between new corals and ones that have been sitting in their tank for a while. Sad Wow! Nice pics Ethan!. Personally I love the heat and blue water. I think I gonna retire in Costa Rica. Thanks! Haha I'll just come visit you. What type blood are you? I'm type O negative. I have a theory about blood type and temperature. I'm always cold and I think type O is a thinner blood but I don't know that for sure. I would rather be too hot than cold Sweating is good for you too....natural chelation I don't remember what blood type I am... I'm usually hot when others are not. Link to comment
metrokat Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Love it! Sounds about like me when I lived in Florida. I hunkered down in the AC until it was dark and bearable to go outside.

We run hot. Link to comment

And I'm O+ for the blood theory. We run hot. But I live in Northern CA now! The weather here is perfect. Its been in the high 60's to low 70's and sunny everyday. Summer here is sooooo nice No hibernating for me. I stopped being a bat when I moved out of Florida. Link to comment

msscha Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hmm, I love Florida's heat and humidity! Though middle age has definitely changed my previously cold self into an AC-needing/loving-while-I-sleep type of person, I love Florida heat...especially late afternoon, early evening just after it rains, when the temp has dropped 10 degrees and the air feels like velvet.

Spirofucci Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Holy #### OMFG!! That is the new star of the next horror movie. Link to comment
Felicia Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 That worm is crazy! That makes me a bit scared to keep sticking my hands in my tank Link to comment

We sound like two peas in a pod I had a worm like that in my tank....it was tiny in comparison though. Eunicid!!!!!! I will never forget the feeling of relief when I finally got the TWO out of my tank Link to comment
ScubaEthan Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 I love Florida heat omg I don't understand that. haha I had a worm like that in my tank....it was tiny in comparison though. Eunicid!!!!!! I will never forget the feeling of relief when I finally got the TWO out of my tank Isn't that big worm craaaazy?! How big was yours Gena? Link to comment
gena Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 They are actually pretty common hitchhikers. If I remember right, mine were about 3" in the cup (jail) but they stretch...so no telling how big it could get in the tank. They were fatties too. I had to pull out all of my rocks to get them out.

gena Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 My freaky worms! They were pretty scrunched up in the photo...don't let that deceive you. They were monsters!!!!!! The one was a pretty green color though...I forgot about that Link to comment
Builder Anthony Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 ya i will defintely need a chainmail diving suit. Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hmm, I love Florida's heat and humidity! I can do Vegas or AZ no problem - as long as I stay out of the sun. But humidity? I can barely tolerate the LFS! I have 'driving sleeves' in both my cars. Link to comment
ScubaEthan Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 That's gross! I'm usually not grossed out by anything... but those are freaky. Maybe it's because they could be in MY tank and I don't know how I'd get them out. In dry land you can just squash a bug or capture it and release it outside (which is what I usually try to do). But in water they got one up on me. I just peed my pants. Hahahahaha! ya i will defintely need a chainmail diving suit. eeek that would make for a good, low-budget, so-bad-it's-awesome movie. Attack of the Eunicids! I can do Vegas or AZ no problem - as long as I stay out of the sun. But humidity? I can barely tolerate the LFS! I have 'driving sleeves' in both my cars. Driving sleeves?????

But in water they got one up on me. Yes...it was!!!!! They were very freaky. I jumped a couple of feet when the one plopped out onto the ground and started jumping around. These things were wild!!!!!! Link to comment
ScubaEthan Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Ya. I can rock them But... what is it for? To keep this on track... everything is good in the tank lol Link to comment

I have 'driving sleeves' in both my cars. Lol! I don't mind the heat in Vegas, but my sinuses dry up so bad that I carry saline spray with me in my purse. Too many years down here, and I think my body believes it needs humidity to function . But... what is it for? To keep this on track... everything is good in the tank lol I could post a picture of what my forearms look like after years of driving with the sun beating down on them, and you would understand why someone would wear driving sleeves . What a great idea!! I had no idea they existed . A tank? What, you have a tank ? Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 But... what is it for? To keep this on track... everything is good in the tank lol Kat must have photoshopped herself blond, lol Since when has this thread ever been on track? Link to comment

What a great idea!! I had no idea they existed . A tank? What, you have a tank ? Speaking of the sun and "photo aging" This is a truck driver. Kat must have photoshopped herself blond, lol Since when has this thread ever been on track? hahahahaha! I get to see Kat Thursday for sushi! Whatever. My thread has been on track for most of it! I need test the water. I haven't done that in a long time.... I can tell my green pinwheel palys and orange bam bam zoas really love the added light. The nasty algae around the whammin watermelon zoas is back so I need to dip it in a peroxide bath again. Buut I'm busy with girls. I had my first date last night. I took her to a cute French restaurant and we sat outside in the beautiful weather. Before we knew it, four hours had passed! It was fun. Link to comment
gena Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 OMG....my husband was just telling me about that truck driver, but I didn't see the photo. That's incredible!!!!! Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Glad I'm not a truck driver. But the bummer is that both side of my face look like that. You got me thinking, if I went of a first date now and heaven forbid it should get romantic, I'd have to pull out my sex for dummies book. Oh andd back on track.....is H202 just for problem algae? Do you think it would help my poopy zoas? I don't think its an algae problem though. Link to comment
