This one's head is at least nickel-sized and so many stars! Only one head but hey, take what you can get, right? Me too, hopefully he will cooperate, little cute booger! 1 Quote Link to comment

Yep, magicians are one of those that I always have to have in my tank. I actually have them but they have been overrun by the pink palys. Last I saw there were a few closed up heads left on them. Magicians, pink hippos, and mushrooms....on my list for hunting at RAP. Plus any other palys that catch my eye . 7 minutes ago, cju84 said: Ohhhhh.. Love the purple with blue interior blastos!!! Aren't they great? I love them too! I got those from reefgardener.net. I think she always has those in stock too. I haven't looked recently, but they have always been there ever time I've looked. 2 Quote Link to comment

They are purple and glittery and oh gosh so beautiful! I love mine. Also my blondies because they are bright and sunny! 2 Quote Link to comment

I thought about that . I tagged them in hopes that they see this and bring some purpleberry fantasies at least. I plan to buy a few different types of palys from them???? for my pico bowl/tank in planning. I'm wondering if I might be able to transport a pico bowl across country. That sounds pretty easy, right? I'd have to really pack it well, but seems I could easily bring it into a hotel room at night along the way and plug it in. I won't be able to transfer my 10 that way. But I may be able to have my LFS ship that stuff to me once settled. I have so many plans...I hope they work out LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment

Christopher Marks Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Sorry about the site lag everyone, I'll have the techs take a look! It may have been a temporary issue from yesterday, but if you ever notice things acting up for more than just a few minutes don't be afraid to send me a PM or use the contact form at the bottom of the page. 2 Quote Link to comment

Thanks Chris. It's been going on for a few weeks. It's mainly when you hit the submit reply button it then says saving and sits on saving for a long while. Sometimes it never clicks to show the post and I just click the nano-reef screen again and can see on the home screen my post was new so I assume it has posted. I know sometimes people have been hitting the button that says saving again and it doubles and triples your post. Just feedback not complaining But it does seem better today! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

When I moved to Texas years ago, I'd packed my corals in bags or containers or something in a cooler with hot hands heat packs (it was winter) and brought them into the hotel overnight. It was only a two day drive though, and I'm sure Cali to the Midwest will be longer than that! 2 Quote Link to comment

It's definitely not as bad today as it was yesterday. But I've noticed it for a couple of weeks now. I think yesterday was just especially bad. I can deal with it, not a big deal. I just wanted to know if it was just me or everyone LOL. 3 hours ago, Lula_Mae said: Are you thinking for moving?

I would try to keep it all in the bowl and not remove anything. The hard part would be making sure the rocks don't shift and break the glass. Not sure how I'd go about that unless I just make sure it's very secure in the bowl. maybe I'll epoxy all the pieces together and then epoxy that to the bottom glass and then put sand around it. Hmmmmm....something to think about. I wonder how long it will be before the new contest is announced. I know @Christopher Marks said "fall".

My life so boring =(. What do you mean? You are always traveling somewhere it seems. The Caribbean or San Francisco . We are headed east. Specifically Stamford, Connecticut. That's where the job is for my husband. He can transfer through his current employer. Just have to wait a year. My son is in his senior year of high school so we're gonna wait that out. And then we are freeeeeee . It will be 15 years next summer that we've been out here. Before we moved out I said no more than 5 years LOL. Things were just too good to leave after 5 years. And then my son made friends and I just didn't want to pull him away from that. He's totally on board with moving out of here after graduation though, thank goodness. I don't want to leave him out here alone. 4 Quote Link to comment

I love visiting my nieces and being close to the ocean. But a long weekend is very different than moving cross country =P. It's a year away but so excited for you. I have a friend that just moved from Chicago to Portland, Maine over the summer, and she LOVES it. Wait till winter comes though...hahahah 3 Quote Link to comment

I think it sounds great now, but I think I'll quickly hate it once we are there LOL. The snow is pretty though. I'm ok with it at Christmas time and then I want it out. I will miss the warmer winters during the months of January and February, for sure. Ah well...no place can be absolutely perfect for me LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment
