Think of this story as the spinning top at the end of Inception, and me as a considerably less attractive & slightly over-weight Leonard DiCaprio.

TheBig053 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I can’t help but think those house chickens are part of some weird voodoo animal sacrifice ritual used for the benefit of this tank. Pretty sure I saw this guy on @Cannedfish‘s counter top near the tank in a previous FTS.... 5 Quote Link to comment

It is super neon, I even tried to toned down the green in the picture (you can see the 'blooming' in the photo). I bought it as a booger while walking out of MACNA because this thing was like an effing beacon in the frag tank (can't remember which dealer). Furthermore, and slightly embarrassing, I was such a noob and it was so small for the first 2 months I thought it was psammo or something else. Nope its a monti and its trying to take over my tank.

And I see what you're doing with that jinxing thing... No just kidding, I really appreciate the support! Don't worry though, we leave for South America in couple weeks, and all hell is going to break lose...

Pretty sure I saw this guy on @Cannedfish‘s counter top near the tank in a previous FTS.... After the shenanigans the chickens pulled this weekend, I may have to reconsider my "no sacrificial rituals in the house rule." Speaking of the occult, there is a voodoo shop only a few blocks from our house... I may need to visit this weekend, in order to tilt the grow-out contest scales...

Which may be my, straight-up, favorite coral. Last count there were somewhere between 30 and 40 babies scattered throughout the skeleton. Some are REALLY small and I don't expect them all to make it. But I would be super excited if I manged to grow out between 10-20 of them. I don't really chop things up, but if it turned into a 20+ head dendro, it's time to bring out the diamond blade and make like Oprah... "You get a dendro!" You get a dendro!" ____ Anyways, as always here are some crappy photos! 5 1 Quote Link to comment
Cannedfish Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Some progression photos for your Tuesday enjoyment. This is a browned-out Bali frag I took a flier on a while back, hopefully it turns into something fun. 4 Quote Link to comment

Cannedfish Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 I hear y’all! I hear y’all, but this isn’t some mamby-pamby chicken sh$t story that can be told in sitting! This is an epic tale full of love and love lost, of heroes and villains, of danger and cunning! Homer didn’t tell the Odyssey in one night, nor did Michelangelo carve David in one day. Hell, it took god’s lazy-ass seven days to bake the cake known as the universe, and I’m pretty sure this story is like twice as good as any of those things. But even more than that, I’m lazy and Blenwood is a terrible stenographer, so y’all are probably gonna have to wait till Friday. Plus, besides the weekend, it’s gives y’all something to look forward to while your wasting time on the internet at work tomorrow. Furthermore, Friday, some have said, is the most important day of the year. As always... a teaser. 3 3 2 Quote Link to comment

(as if nothing else was more interesting 🤨) Slightly disappointed with myself, I spent a few days at Greenbuild conference in NOLA a few years ago, and I ended up never visited cafe du mon.

One of many x-mas card themes... If you’ve read any of this thread, you’ll notice I trend more toward the self deprecating end of the spectrum then not, but when it come to x-mas cards, we effing kill it. The above card of the pajama themed card, everyone include dogs and cats had matching pjs. I’ll see if I can dig up the swamp people, Mexican, white trash, Hawaiian, or some of the others... 2 Quote Link to comment

Can't lie when I read that post I was like ... pretty funny.. then I scrolled down and saw the chicken Christmas card and actually laughed out loud. The wife asked what was so funny and I said nothing just this fish forum to which she relied "ugh you and the fish nerds again" ( which I find some what insulting right?) .. anyway I told her about the house chickens and had her read the story and well now she is hooked. 😂😂 4 Quote Link to comment
