Oh yeah ...

leximommy

Yayy! and Happy BirfDay!

leximommy

lol thanks..... so....I NEED PICTURE IDEAS!

bhcaaron

How about capturing a moving object? Try tossing and spinning a flower in the air and capturing it in mid air.

leximommy

wow that would be good thanks

So my dad and I went to pick up the 145G today... that was a failure! LoL, I was figuring on it weighing like 150Lbs to 200Lbs. I don't know how much it weighs, but, it had to stay! lol. So I'll have to return with reinforcements OMG that thing was heavy! I could only move it like an inch! Unfortunately I my dad saw a crack on the bottom. UGH! I'll still keep it since I can get it fixed and still be cheap. She said it was only on the exterior sheet of glass. I didn't know they had more than one, I'll see what I can do later.

leximommy

i dont think they have more than one sheet of glass, it could be that the crack just doesnt go all the way to theother side of the glass...id water test it outside before bringing it in.... and even then fix it just incase



hmmm....im bored now....

bhcaaron

Why are you bored? Yeah, I'm deffinitely testing it first. Luckily I have a glass repair place just around the corner.

agsansoo

Most large tanks crack on the middle bottom. Don't fix it yourself, have a pro do it for you. Make sure to get a guarantee on his work. I personally would not buy the tank !

bhcaaron

Why not? It was $150. I don't think that even after fixing it I could find a cheaper one.

leximommy

in my opinion i would see how much it would cost to replace the whole bottom....(can you even do that?)

bhcaaron

I would imagine it would just be a matter of some DIY since the local glass shop around the corner doesn't do that. I'm getting a quote on a new pane now.

leximommy

yea i know...so hows tank hunting coming?

bhcaaron

Ugh... let me catch you up...

145G was cracked. too expensive to fix. asked for money back. huge argument. called cops. no lawyer will take. I'm out tank and $150. More money setbacks not allowing me to start saltie. Pushed back to next year. Starting freshie instead.. small. Have read many great things. Learned lots. Can't put knowledge to use yet. Now reading up on freshie.

OH, BTW You SO have to read up on the Berlin and Jaubert (plenum) methods. It'll save you lots of money but you can't have many fish.

leximommy

oh god im so sorry, that would **** me off...want me to fly up there and use my charm to get it back? (lol give it back or else!!!!) sorry.... tell me what you know so far about freshies...ive had them forever and know lots....ask away! ive done tons of reading...

Well just took our Whiskey into the vet for an overnight stay. The vet still doesnt know what it is, but has a few suspicions...hopefully it turns out okay.... Alexis had a ball tonight trick or treating. on our way home though a group of dumb**s teens, were throwing firecrackers at little kids. if i had my phone on me i would have called the cops. (makes me wish my husband had gone with us.....)


so...hows your night....

bhcaaron

My night is dark... and starry. Very pretty actually lol. Don't worry. I had my things to say too, but, oh well. I'm not going to be the dumb *ss that goes to jail over $150. Maybe later ahahahaha jk

So what are the vet's suspicions?

Did ya find any cute gouls?

leximommy

well among the highly unlikely but possibly "puppy flu" there is distemper and then parvo. both of wich hes only had one vaccine for (they are suposed to get 1 round a month for 3 month...but we were almost on the time mark for his second set...so...)


it was so cute! Alexis was walking up to this house that had a man sitting on a bench "scaring" people. and this little boy really was scared of him, well lexi was right behind the little boy and when she got to the man she said "no! dont scare! Mean! be nice!" she was telling him to be nice since he scared that little boy....(so picture a two year old snow white telling an adult off in a cute little "jumbled" talk that a two year old has.....)

leximommy

I Miss My Little Whiskey!!!!

bhcaaron

have a shot! lol... OMG I'm reading so much on Bettas now! UGH! SO much reading! lol

leximommy

lol ok yea.... if you want bettas make sure you dont have too high a movement from the filter... if you want bettas id advise a 50 gallon tank and the get a few schooling fish and (tiny ones) maybe two different kinds, then put 2-3 bettas in with them...but if you have a female then take cover! lol ok well im gonna go pass out...have fun reading, let me know what you find out....

bhcaaron

Will do. Have a good night. I will only have betta... i think. not community.

reef freak

Seal the crack and reenforce the bottom of the tank (But some 2X4s or steel rods along the bottom and put supports in the middle if theres room) Hopefully is should hold. I hope you get what I meant by reenforce it too.

I once had some Neon Tetras when I was 3...They all died and my dad swore he would never get anymore fish...I had a 7th grade science teacher who had a 95ga SW in his class...now I got a 90ga and hundreds of $$$ of coral, fish and inverts lol.

My teacher got me into reefkeeping last year, and now I've got a tank about the size as his. I found out the other day that he has a 180Ga so now I NEEEDDD that 145ga lol. I guess were having a contest for biggest tank...

bhcaaron

Alright... pull out the measuring ruler!

reef freak

lol. Gonna need a 20ft measuring tape soon! I be swimmin in my tank lol
