teenyreef Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 You are a magician at finding those beautiful corals. They look beautiful! Link to comment
Begow Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 You are a magician at finding those beautiful corals. They look beautiful! Thank you I try my best for sure. I'm so happy things are starting to grow, I never can notice growth in my SPS but my zoa/palys and acans all have new heads popping, every one of them! So stoked! Link to comment
lilmatty5dimes Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Great addition man. That rainbow is sick. Can't wait to see it grow out for ya. Didn't realize you had a tank going up. Love the family pictures. Beautiful. Trying to get the wife to agree on buying a gun here with taxes. Finger crossed. Always wanted a glock 19. Link to comment
Dramad1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Tank is looking great. You have some nice pieces, looks pricey, but nice as well. That lil master looks super sweet, I have always wanted one but could never bring myself to spend that much on something so tiny. Ps glock20 ftw (stopping power) Link to comment

I just filed my taxes today and I'm super happy with the amount! haha Tank is looking great. You have some nice pieces, looks pricey, but nice as well. That lil master looks super sweet, I have always wanted one but could never bring myself to spend that much on something so tiny. Ps glock20 ftw (stopping power) Thank you :D Stopping power is over rated, a .380 center mass will do enough damage to put somebody down. I like to carry comfortably Well I found a home for the clowns! A local breeder is picking them up on Friday and giving me a pair of black snowflakes! Hopefully these guys won't dig! I've had dozens of clownfish in the last 10 years and I've never had one dig! Link to comment

I like to carry comfortably Lol, black talons ftw, put your vest on and say that, lol jk. I hear you though, 2 each there own Link to comment
Begow Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Lol, black talons ftw, put your vest on and say that, lol jk. I hear you though, 2 each there own lol, if it ever comes down to me having to pull on somebody, which I hope it doesn't, I really doubt they'll be wearing a vest ROFL. Link to comment
Dramad1 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, lmao (kingstalman) What ev"s not trying to start a pissing match here. Guns are guns. Looking forward to seeing those black snowflakes though Link to comment
Markburns43 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 God bless you don't ever have to do that. Its not anything truly worth experiencing unless its to protect you or your family, Im a sig fan but couldn't afford the colt, beautiful tank and family as well. =) and a full size is one hell of an accurate gun and like carrying a sack of rocks lol (overexageration) (BUT close) but from face to face at the end it doesn't matter how big.

Chris! Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Tank looks great, sweet addition with the rainbow prostrata too man! I think that scoly would look great if you pulled it out by where the snail is at Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Speaking of guns...gonna go to the gun show in Chicago this weekend with my wife. Only reason I am going is to stop her from buying another gun. Last I checked, she has like 4,000 rounds of bullets (mixture of 9s and 45s) and I think 4 guns...2 Springfield, 1 Kimber, 1 Sig Sauer. Only reason I get to splurge on corals is cuz I make her feel bad about her guns =P. Link to comment

I think that scoly would look great if you pulled it out by where the snail is at I think I'm going to try and move it this weekend, but last time it wasn't in between the rocks it started to life a little on the edges so I get scared it'll damage it.

NorthGaHillbilly Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I got most of my zoanthids from LPS1212 on R2R. Dude has some of the most high end pieces there are haha. Yeah I love the XDS but it's a bit big, I'm 5'9" and 220lbs so it's a tight squeeze to conceal. I am actually looking to trade her out for something smaller possibly. I conceal a G19 every day, but Its a pain in the ass, or the crotch in my case. I carry appendix, but I would not suggest it to anyone unless they are willing to take the time and practice not to shoot their nuts off. I want to get the Sig Sauer P250 once I get my tax return. I love that you can interchange from a 9mm up to a .45 and it also fits a huge variety of grips. Plus who doesn't love a Sig Sauer anyway. I'll have to check out LPS1212 those zoas are sick. Sigs are very nice guns, the only thing I will say that it takes a bit of adjustment to go from a striker fired gun, Glock XD etc, to a hammer. That strong first pull is what kept me from liking the HK P30, tho its possibly the best build plastic gun Ive ever handled. I really want a Sig P238 in the Rainbow or Equinox version. Otherwise I'll be going with a Bodyguard .380 or possibly a Shield 9MM Be careful with anything in 380, ballistically its better than the 38 spls that were standard back in the day, taking into account modern bullet technology. But my main issue is the near impossibility of making a 380 feed reliably. The case is so short that there is no "dwell time" between the lips on the mag and the feed ramp. I have yet to shoot a 380 that will feed 500 rounds without a FTF. The closest was a taurus that had one within 500 rounds, and I think it did well due to the light slide. Ive delt with several Sigs, G42, Beretta, Ruger LCP. The shield would be my choice out of those. Tho snub nose J frame would be my go to for a small and easy to conceal option. Theres alot to be said for carrying the gun you will actually carry EVERY DAY, but you need to be sure your comfortable with its reliability. I stick with my ugly bulky 19 because Ive pulled the trigger over 14K times, and its gone boom every time. Link to comment

That's another one thats hard to get to feed reliably enough for me. Alot of people have decent luck after finding the right mags for it, but you'd still have a gun that's less reliable than your xd is Link to comment

I always hear such great things. Maybe it's just because I'm chubby that I can't carry these big ass guns. Link to comment

Maybe it's just because I'm chubby that I can't carry these big ass guns. It is a .45, but the 1911 enthusiast's definition of reliability and a plastic gun definition are different. Hell man, alittle gut helps tuck em away, I call mine my concealment chubb. It can take months to figgure out it what holster and position works best for you. What all holsters have you tried?
