Going to Gerbers tonight!

[Micki]

I'm going to run down to Gerbers. They have Tiger Tail cukes and I think they had 7 fighting conch's. I'm toying with getting all 7 and selling some of them to anyone that wants them at the cost I have to pay. If any one wants anything let me know in the next few if possible. Things like the fighters I think I can keep in my tank for a few days. If you miss me on here you can catch me on my cell 937-418-0811.
Micki...

[Slicktrax]

give me an update on their rock selection and any tangs on sale, unless you have already left

[ohioreef]

I want a fighting conch if you picked any up.

[redpyro]

1 or 2 fighting crotches for me :)

[Micki]

Ok you guys should have called. I was long gone before anyone posted.
Anyway, When I called them, they had 7 fighting conch's. When I got there (Got to see Carson for a few by the way, he looked good! He said he was on vacation in Arizona), they only had three left!!! UGH! I had already decided I would buy all 7 to share with the club. Sorry guys... They also had a powder brown tang but when I got there it too had been sold! UGH! The have some BEAUTIFUL VERY LARGE Achilles tangs! WOW. I think a few unicorn, I did see one kole tang but it was right before I was leaving and I didn't even look at the price. (Had I have known I would have checked). 1 large nice looking gold rim tang. A few naso tangs. that's all I remember of the tang. I wanted to get some calupera (sp?), but they had just sold out of that!!! I said to the guy, NO WAY... I drove an hour to get here! He then pulled some out of their tank and gave to me free of charge! :D I also got two tiger cukes. They told me they had two and they still had them!!! The felt bad about all of it,. but honestly when I called for prices, I had no intention of going down. I didn't ask them to hold for me. They said next time to make sure to ask them to hold and they will. So, sorry to not be able to share anything maybe next time...

[redpyro]

they get stock on monday and tuesday you have to get there before friday night or they have very little left

[Slicktrax]

looks like i am going picking on tuesday or wednesday then

[Micki]

Now ya tell me! lol Actually I went on the spur of the moment because I'm freaking out about this dang red slime!

[redpyro]

ha ha slime, i hate that crap...comes with the cycle. it will pass eventually, put a powerhead on it, it hates water movement

sorry you were gone by the time i saw this, stupid easter at parents.

[Micki]

Now Now Now... Without them you wouldn't be talking to us! :)

[redpyro]

i am not complaining about them more about easter

[Micki]

I have stuff to take care of the red slime, but Slicktrax talked me out of using it tonight... Got the fighters instead. We will also beef up our flow I guess. I hate that. I just get the over flows adjusted and them we change it. Seems like it takes me hours to make sure everyone is happy with the new flow.

Ok then... :)

[redpyro]

where are you getting the slime at?

[Micki]

I've had it in the fuge for a while now. Today I noticed within and hour I saw a small spot then poof it's spreading! (In the main tank)

[redpyro]

on the sand? glass? rock?

[bigfalcon36]

Dont you guys love it when people like Micki go to the store and PROMISE things, like conchs....and then buy all 7 that they have and tell us she got 3....it hurts Micki...real bad ;)

:eek: How did you figure it out???

Ouch... ;)










naaaa, I would never do that... Just ask anyone that knows me! ;)

[Slicktrax]

you need to get one of the neon cyano eating goby blennies, that will clear it all up.

[Micki]

Never heard of those! I did get 7 er I mean 3 fighting conch's tonight. :) I guess they eat it. I also got two tiger tail cukes.

Do you have one?

[bigfalcon36]

[Slicktrax]

You weren't really there were you?

[bigfalcon36]

I know you were, I was playin...i wish you could have...I think I may head down there tomorrow. was that Kole tang nice?

[Micki]

It looked kind of small, but looked very healthy. It was in one of the back tanks not in the main front tanks. I assume it;s for sale but I wouldn't swear to that. Will they be open on Easter?

[Slicktrax]

[Micki]

Where did you get them? I'll have to do some researchon those!

[Micki]

Just did some reading. I'll definately be looking for one of those guys!

[Slicktrax]

gerbers, but i bought the last 22 of them

[Micki]

LOL They said some guy just bought the last of them. Geesh!

[bigfalcon36]

I think you can get those gobys or gobies :D any where online...if you need one fast. any word when your colt coral is comin in?

[Micki]

Nope, I asked him to ship on Tuesday. I did see where he asked some questions about shipping it on the general discussion forum.

[bigfalcon36]

better get insurance

[Micki]

lol. He said he would make it right if there was a problem.

[bigfalcon36]

I hope Gerber's is open tomorrow...I think I may get some snails and that tang too

[bigfalcon36]

I would tell him there is a problem even if there wasnt one :D

[Micki]

Let me know if they are. I didn't think to ask them. I guess I just assumed...

[Micki]
