Kat's METROpolitan: Retired May 2018

[metrokat]

So this happened. Thanks Calleigh.

She was appropriately chastised. The next night however she "walked" on the lid again. So now I have indentations in the netting. She is lucky and I am too that she did not fall in. If you need another reason to get an Artfully Acrylic lid - that is one.

This week was a warm get together with Nano-Reefers. @Christopher Marks and his wife Courtney were in town! Such a treat!

It has been a long time since some of us met him at MACNA 2016. #fishnerdsunite

Whew, I've seen better heads on mops. *runs*

[Spencer7]

Nice Rhombo, still alive?

[Mariaface]

Holy crumbs, I'm tall.

 

EDIT: Wait, am I distorted or am I actually as tall as @holy carp? At least in those heels?

[Christopher Marks]

Or are most of us just short?  

[StinkyBunny]

,MMMM, heels....... wait, what were we talking about again?  

 

Kat, when we get our new phones I'll be able to send you pics right from the airport of the shipments.

My Golden Rhomboid? Sadly no  

He jumped inside my lid and landed on the overflow cover-also under the lid.  In fact - because he was so special with his import story, Austin LeFavre featured him in his MACNA presentation.  He was a super male when he jumped.

I had posted some corals on Instagram

 

 

New rock structure using STAX. I threw out one of my oldest rocks.

wow, didn't know you had a tank crash Kat! but looks like you're recovering well. 

 

making me wish i had a tank again. 

[LongPig]

So you're slowly coming back! I added a bunch of new stuff to mine too. No fish yet though because I still can't decide. Maybe a dwarf cuttle.

He completely disappeared and I started doing my own thing with a girl on the west coast that I've known for close to 30 years, we do Australia and Fiji together. I do my own things out of other countries. I've just stated doing Vietnam  with her as well, actually 3 of us go together to buy to save freight and distribute the import fees. We're trying to get the rules changed for hard corals out of Vietnam so we can import those as well. If you're up near NYC, New York Aquatics has damn nice stuff and buys from the same places I do, Sri Lanka/Red Sea, Indo, Bali, Fiji, Australia and The Philippines.
