StinkyBunny Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 If you ever run out of limpets, lemme know. The 30 frag tank must have 200 or so as well as baby abalones that are getting close to 1" now! What I do with pods and filtre socks is put them over a piece of egg crate upside down and that over a bowl. Let them sit there for 10-15 mins and tap them to knock off and clingers. Scootie McScooterbisquits loves bag cleaning day, lol. OMNOMNOMNOM! 4 Quote Link to comment
Cannedfish Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'm a bit tardy to the party but that clam's the jam! I feel like there's a Beyoncé lyric to sum up that bivalve, but I'm struggling. "You're not ready for this jelly!" Nope. "All my honey's makin' money!" Nope. "I've got style, I've got ass!" Getting closer. "Bow down, bitches!" Stop the drill we've struck oil. 6 Quote Link to comment

The only thing you used to get out of Fiji was damn Stomatella snails and shitgobs of friggin' spiders also know as Rob's wrasse chow. I'll try to order a few smaller abalones next Philippines shipment and see what I get. I have 7 here now, the smallest is 2.5", the largest is almost 4"! But they really are gentile giants. I'll try to get some pics and maybe a video this week some time. They're furry mouse tanks. As soon as the lights come on back in the QT systems they haul ass for cover till the lights go back down, then they're back out clearing algae. 7 Quote Link to comment

They must've multiplied, because not I find teensy limpets in both of my tanks all the time!! 4 1 Quote Link to comment

Throw a wrasse in there or hermits and it's a slaughter. 1 Quote Link to comment
WV Reefer Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 And a bonus shot of Lucy Lu, who just had surgery and is pretty drugged up and looking cute. She’s all like, “Is this real life?” 7 2 Quote Link to comment

Not looking forward to losing the one we have now...................I think about it and it just makes me sad. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, all my pets are seniors— Pepper the cat is 18 and is a breast cancer survivor, Ernie the wiener is 16, Lucy Lu is 11 1/2 and Nika the Husky is 10. I doubt Ernie makes it to next winter- he is getting dementia and has at least one or two “bad” days a week. 4 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Yeah my cat is 19 we think maybe 20..............####er needs to go sorry...........he drools all over the place and doesn't even clean himself anymore..........and the smell my skimmer smells better................. Bell is 8 I think but bulldogs don't live a long life........ We lost our English at 9 I think maybe 10 not sure. I need to drop some cash and get a new one while she is still kicking........she can teach it a few things. 3 Quote Link to comment

My 19 year old cat also drooled and stunk but it was because he had a mouth tumor that took him out fast. I was so sad...... that cat was with me my entire adult life. I still have dreams about him.. RIP Winston. Shit, now I’m sad. Quick, play Porch Honky again! 1 4 Quote Link to comment
