Academy of Sciences is definitely a must stop for anyone visiting SF. ______________________________________ In tank news, I am tired of the aiptasia and ordered 4 Peppermint Shrimp, specificly Lysmata wurdemanni, that are supposed to be the type most likely to eat aiptasia. Plan on doing a new video and pictures next weekend. 5 Quote Link to comment

brad908 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 I have had a trio of pajama cardinals for over a year now and was thinking of adding more. Would there likely be any issues with adding another 3-4? Quote Link to comment
JR! Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The lfs has a 1000 gallon live rock curing tank that they have I would guess more then 50 in. I don't think you'll have an issue Quote Link to comment

brad908 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 So on Sunday I got a few more cardinals, ball sponge, finger sponge, and ear sponge. I also trimmed all the macros and spread them out, similar to how the tank was back in November. I will make a better and longer video this weekend. Clean the glass, do it at night for no window glare, and get the mangroves. Lighting is NanoBox Hybrid with 2 6500k T5 and 4 V3 LED pucks at 95%. Flow is MP10, WP10, and RW4 10 1 Quote Link to comment

kimberbee Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 That's taking place literally right down the street from me! Do they allow spectators? Sounds interesting! Quote Link to comment

Yes they do, but I think they might charge for the pro field ($5?). It is definitely interesting if you've never watched tournament style paintball. A lot of action but honestly a little hard to follow. 5v5 and just people shooting at each other, no center action point. Lot of running, diving, and people yelling at each other haha. The fields are wide open though, so you can easily see all the action taking place. (netting around the perimeter of the fields) Paintball is how I know Nanobox Dave (didn't know him personally back then, but had pictures of him. His avatar on here a few years ago was a photo of mine and that is how we reconnected lol). my paintball instagram is www.instagram.com/frominsidethenet . I started up a print magazine last season.

kimberbee Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I've been paint-balling a whopping one time. It was a lot of fun though, and I was willing to shell out for my own paintball gun which I still have. I forget where it was, but it had concrete buildings all over. I've always wanted to go again for fun, but never got around to it. Actually, my fiance has his own paintball gun too, we should put that on our "date night ideas" list! Quote Link to comment

Can't get my wife to play lol. Player retention is the biggest hurdle the sport faces. Basically anyone under 50 has heard of paintball, it is keeping people coming back that is the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment
