Illuiix Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I wouldn't have thought you were a coco worm type of guy. Well it's just something I thought would be a 1st addition...the thing is alright. Still a bigger fan of corals, clams. what is it with you and rockless tanks? Well, I might add live rocks later on....but for now, it's going to be rockless for a while. Link to comment

Illuiix Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Whoa, visited frag junky and I have never seen those kind of prices for common wild collected corals before... Lol, yeah they are pretty darn expensive....but hey I just like to stare at their goodies online. I've only bought one scoly from them in the past and bargained well for it...lol. I had to bargain with them on ebay through pm's lol. Here's the scoly I bought from them in the past. I remember getting it for $220 flat including the shipping costs. And he was asking for $300 plus $40 shipping on ebay. The piece was freaking huge too...I mean the base skeleton was 4" big...lol so I was freaking darn happy when I received it ahah. Best scoly experience ever... hype0ff, I mean IIX, or was it illustriosolo, ummm illu, no wait illuiix, benjho ... aww F#@* it nice worm whoever it belongs to Thanks man, you can call me illuiix or benjho or lulu or ben for now ahah.... Yupp, those were all my names before. Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 That's a very reasonable price for the Scoly. I can't help but thinking he would be better off with advertising better prices. I wouldn't consider ordering through him if I knew I had to really really haggle just to get down to a fair price. Anyhoo... keep the updates coming Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I know you consider yourself a scoly snob and all but: http://s295.photobucket.com/user/WrasseLuver/media/6246C105-F7A6-4871-AB0D-61832862ED8A_zps5kymltcl.jpg.html'> Link to comment

Well I did buy a neon white/green/yellow wellso/trachy but it died off in 5 days....I'm pretty sure it was in bad condition before I brought it back home but didn't notice it until I observed it more closely in the bag...so I'm bringing it back to the lfs to get a much much better deal on another coral purchase from them. This build it going to be slow though because I've recently destroyed my wallet buying this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/291158528615?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Bad commercial, but you can see why I had to have it....compared to my super old outdated toshiba...lol. I've been checking every single day for a good deal and normally I would see $850 the cheapest for 11" or 13" pro...but 1 time I spotted 3 in stock from the same seller for $800 each 11" brand new sealed and those 3 sold in less than a day when I was watching...so yesterday...I caught the same seller selling it even cheaper this time and bigger too! 13" brand new for $730 including shipping costs....so I had to buy it yesterday, borrowed some money from my mom because I didn't have enough in my pp account. Funny thing, I bought the 2nd one, the 1st 1 was sold before me that day and I checked back and saw the last 1/3rd one sold, all 3 sold in just that day...lol. I'll be paying her back with more once I get my next paycheck in a few days. Oh, and once I get it, I'll be posting pics of it and my minimalist style room...lol. Kinda had a makeover the past month, because I had to replace a lot of old things...like buy a new desk, chair and that laptop. The desk I got pretty darn good deal on ebay for $100. Here it is.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261488568471?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 and this chair for $50. http://www.ebay.com/itm/370718598913?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Oh and just wanna let you guys know something crazy you guys probably have never noticed....my light stand that I'm using to hang the kessil...is this! LOL A bathroom towel rack for $40 (same price as the kessil gooseneck but looks much better imo). http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-FREE-SHIP-ORE-MODERN-CHROME-BROWN-BATHROOM-TOWEL-RACK-HANGING-STAND-/261478510351?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=Sdj%252FeyVPj6WpUbv2B%252B4%252BzeoDq2Y%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc I bought all of these with my hard earned money since I just started working full-time 3 weeks ago...Pretty proud of myself now that I'm also able to support the mom on the mortgage a little bit...lol. I know you consider yourself a scoly snob and all but: Lololol that is nice! But my tank won't be anything close to that.... I'm really sorry guys but I'm not going to be dropping that much cash on some super candies as this is a budget build...the title was just there because I tend to drool over anything under actinics...lol. Sorry again for the disappointment guys...lol. I'm hoping to get this wellso at my lfs that looks just like this but it's a wellso...not a plate...let me know if it's worth it for $30.

Illuiix Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Oh and I have to say....bought this recently over on ebay and I freaking love it!! Best hydrometer I've ever had...and for only $8 including shipping costs! Very sleek and small. It happens to be one of the 78 things I own being a minimalist...lol. In case you guys need a new hydrometer, here's the link! My lfs be selling hydrometers the cheapest for $14....excluding tax! http://www.ebay.com/itm/370624823781?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Link to comment

Illuiix Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Ok so...I finally got my sony vaio pro in today..1 thing I found out from the seller is that, there's no 1 yr warranty.... . But I was kinda impressed by the brand new, sealed package. So that's a pass. I can finally say goodbye to my oldass recently defected outdated toshiba laptop now. Bye bye Toshiba!!! Shiba!! lol Now it's time to post half of my minimalist room(Other half is just my bed, waiting to buy new black/darkbrown bed sheets before I take that picture) and 1 coral purchase .

ReviloM Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Wellso $25. I hope more to come. Nice wellso. I just picket up a black nuvo 16 today. I don't know what I will put in it though. It was an impulse buy..... Ok so...I finally got my sony vaio pro in today..1 thing I found out from the seller is that, there's no 1 yr warranty.... .

I was thinking about getting one of those a while back but it doesn't have a cdrom drive and I needed that feature for work so I just opted for a HP Pavillion. Link to comment

I was thinking about getting one of those a while back but it doesn't have a cdrom drive and I needed that feature for work so I just opted for a HP Pavillion. Thanks man. I wish I had a black nuvo...the only reason why I stuck out with this white nuvo was because I won an ebay auction for a 8g nuvo brand new for $130 shipping included and the seller shipped me a brand new 16g white nuvo? Lol, I totally didn't expect it and wanted my original black nuvo 8g so I tried selling the white 16g for $170 but nobody wanted in so I decided to keep it and start the new build with it. Yeah, there's no cd rom for either macbook air or sony vaio pro. I don't need cd rom so it's all good. From my expectations, I believe usb disks are gonna push over the cd's to no business later on. The future is about being more minimal now and days. Usb disk is so much smaller and portable than a cd lol. This vaio pro is pretty awesome for the price I got it for. It's quick, the lightest laptop in the world right now but probably won't be this coming fall, since new models will be out. Oh, and the high resolution on this screen is what I love the most at the moment. I'm able to see 3 times better how these coral pics are in hd compared to my old toshiba. Yup, I compared the both this afternoon....huge difference. The only thing I don't like about this new vaio pro is...when I'm using the touch screen at the top portion of the screen, the monitor wiggles a bit...lol Kinda annoying ahahah. Hey by any chance do you know how to do a "right click" on a touch screen?? I think it's kinda annoying to have to use the mouse pad just for the right click function, to be able to copy and paste stuff... Link to comment

Did you offer to ship? -With my job I have to utilize disks for certain programs that are only on disks.

RollaJase Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 True, hopefully they improve that mobility. It's not a mobility issue, typically group policies applied to users or USB ports being disabled through thin client access. I have a number of clients who allow no external devices to be attached to local machines in their office environment for security reasons. They even disable all the local save features when using remote access from outside of the office. The only way to get internal data out of their facility is to physically steal the server hardware (in most cases that is virtual anyway). Most government facilities are very similar to a certain degree. Link to comment
