Hi Mike! I've been around - just reading what going on here on the site but not really posting anything. wow the new year sure is busy! that's why I've only been reading the posts and not commenting - no time. terrible hey!?

That SO COOL!!!
Aw, cute little PFP the porcupine puffer
Pretty much all puffers are venomous. But their spines aren't venomous, it's in their skin or an organ, I think it's a gall bladder?? (do fish have gall bladders, lol)
Lion fish are stunning. I like the dwarf ones, they're cute.

Lol
Yeah it is almost my birthday. My parents asked me what I wanted. I told them, I want a glass cover for the tank (the one it came with was so old and broken), either a new light ballast or fix the one that came with the tank that doesn't work, and some marine salt mix. My mom's like 'is that all?' and I tell her, well, if dad can't fix the ballast then it'd be kinda pricey lol.
Your fish are outside? I wish I could keep my fish outside. I'd love to have a fish pond.
Oh, I'd love a 140-180g tank. What are you going to put in it? I'd make it SW and get that porcupine puffer I've been wanting lol. But that would be quite expensive. But stuff used if you can! People are ditching big tanks all the time for good prices. I love it.

Holy crap, 104?!? We had icy rain today and thus I suppose no more than 40F... sheesh
I'm good. Although I'm still waiting to see ammonia levels drop in my 80g It's been almost 2 weeks now.
But other than that, it's great!
How are you?

Sounds good, you can alwayd double bag it to be safe.

It should be ok. It sounds like they're curious. One thing, is the ice treated water, just in case it gets a tear?

It depends on if he is starting to eat or not, if he is fitting in, etc.

On the mbuna list, just send it to me I would be glad to look at it.

Def would be mbuna they are so colorful. When looking at the afra species especially. There are some bright congo cichilds, but nothing like the malawi mbuna.

The light can be deceiving when your looking at those little cards. It sounds like you're getting things under control. I'm doing well. Believe it or not, I just got done water changes. lol. I put it off all day, so that's what I get!!

Any guess as to what caused the spike?
