FlowerMama Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 R.I.P. William Christopher aka Father Mulcahy. I know, like the year had to get one more actor in. My favorite sitcom as a kid. I loved the comedy-drama mix. 1 Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Pictar update as promised. I still feel like a 55 gallon drum of boiled ass and my camera is deciding to be an ass as well, FML. Solomon Island Yellow toadstool: FTS of the new scape in the 93 cube. 2 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Pretty fish! and of course I love the long nose, so friendly and cooperative. Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 I agree FlowerMama, Longnose Hawks are great fish, I have another one on the way for both tanks. When I got that little sailfin, he was tiny, maybe 1.5" long, he's about 3" long now. I figure another year and he'll be on his way to a bigger tank. 1 Quote Link to comment

Found out I have gall stones and my pain was coming behind my chest, go figure. Scared the crap out of me thinking maybe this is a heart attack. Went home Fri night w/ gall bladder intact. But not for long! 1 Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Dude. Need to wrap you in bubble wrap until youre all better? Speedy recovery. Every year I have 2-3 stones. I drink no less than 3 litres of water a day, usually 4-5 with working out. I'm wondering if all of the sneezing from the cold shook one loose. I just passed a second one, it's nice too, about 2mm. Luckily, mine are oxalate crystals so they're relatively smooth. Sounds like me. Wed eve in emergency, chest pains. Found out I have gall stones and my pain was coming behind my chest, go figure.

Be very careful of fats right now and make sure you have someone who can check on you. Gall bladder ruptures are deadly, not trying to scare you, but it should be taken very seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Well, looks like the stones aren't done with me yet, #3 is on the move. Quote Link to comment

StinkyBunny Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Solomons is here, Fiji touches down in 4 hours, gonna be a LOOOONG day for me. Should be back home by 4 if, that's a big if, everything goes to plan. M is sick as a dog, poor kid has been up all night hacking her brains out so I'm flying solo to NYC today. Quote Link to comment
Slowtwitch Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Good luck and speedy healing to the Mrs. Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 The transshipping/airlines/reef Gods smiled on me, the stars aligned and all is good. Everyone seems to have made it except for 1 damn Leopard wrasse, big surprise there, NOT!!! Damn shame those little guys don't ship better and Walt Smith takes care of his stock unlike other countries. Got some damn nice pieces, orangetail puffers, a MONSTER LMB for slowtwitch, it's HUGE, pair of banded gobies, rabbitfish, pink Xmas wrasses, 4 scissortail Sergeant Majors for M and only 1 orangespot blenny. Got a yellow Porites, yellow toads, green toads, fuzzy fingers, maze brain, blue starfish and Fiji yellow leathers. No milkshakes in a bag, I don't think I could handle that today. I'm off to hunt down some dinner, I didn't stop on my way home for chow. IR famished!! 2 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 woo hoo! What a haul Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 Everyone settled in quite well overnight, one of the LMB didn't look good yesterday and didn't make it through the night. Still not too bad, 2 fish out of 23. The Blue Linckia stars out of Fiji always ship well and they do adapt to aquarium life quite well. The one in M's tank has been with us for almost 2 years now. Zooanthids also ship well as do most of the leather corals. The temp in the box dropped to 73 degrees which is OK, better lower than higher. 3 Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 One of the Pink Xmas wrasses decided to play kissy poo with the damn anemone and the redspot didn't make it. I need to move the clowns and their anemone out of there, I should have kept that 14g nano. Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm not going a damn place, M's battery is toast and all the diesels are gelled, FML! Quote Link to comment
Slowtwitch Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Better get those space heaters out and thaw out your truck. Quote Link to comment
