How are you liking the Carpenters? I've had both, Carpenters tend to live longer for me. I almost bought a McCoskers but it was only about 2/3 the size of my Carpenters and I was worried about fighting Quote Link to comment

He is mostly red and I don't have a red fish so he looks good. 4 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Happy Valentine's Day y'all 😍 This is my 2nd year as a speaker at FFM. Anybody attending? My topic is moving/upgrading and the disasters that happened to me and how to be prepared. I'm confident that there are many more things one should be prepared for but unfortunately you're not till it happens to you. I'd love your input on that - have you moved or upgraded a tank? What worked for you? What did not? What do you wish you had known or anticipated or prepared for before you did the move? Thank you 4 Quote Link to comment

That's awesome @metrokat, this is such an important topic to cover, something almost all hobbyists will face at one point or another. Your use of a canister filter with biological media in advance of a tank move has always stuck with me as a great solution and safety net. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment

When I moved to my current apartment in May of last year - I had originally asked for a 10 day extension on my previous apartment lease so that with a 10 day over lap - I could move my tank inhabitants to my new tank. Then I thought - what if the tank delivery doesn't come on time or worse, it's leaking. So I changed my plan to have a 40B holding tank instead. Well! The tank arrived late and it arrived completely smashed - so that was good thinking. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Do you use Reef Nutrition? I'm taking pre-orders for the show - show special 10% off. I'm hoping I'll be able to see it. That's a topic that I'm really curious about. I can't wait to actually meet someone from here as well . I don't, not even sure what it is lol. I just use some reef roids every couple weeks. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Calleigh is recovering a 2nd time from an infection of some sort. She goes for an ultrasound on Saturday and I hope we can find out what could be going on even though currently her symptoms have subsided. Suspecting FLUTD which is supposed to be common in cats but in her case gets exasperated due to other issues. She busted my lip open 2 nights ago. She can be a butt. So I ignored her all day and she was all kisses and cuteness. ARGH. 4 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Congratulations on being asked to talk again. I am sure you will be great! Is someone going to tape the entire presentation for those of us who can't make it? I hope you get answers for Calleigh and she is OK. Paws crossed. Quote Link to comment
