I believe you can find one on ebay - have you ever seen Napoleon Dynamite?
What I don't post are pictures of me watching "The Holiday" or "The Devil Wears Prada" with HER on the nights we're not fooling with the tank. There are some sacrifices I am willing to make!

jcpatella,
This is the Mrs. (AKA Anti Reef Tank) and my two babies. My life as a secret reefer... * My $129.99 Juvi Blueface Angel (approx $30 when I got home) * My LiterMeter III (Ordered in three seperate parts at 1 month intervals) * My $5,000 225g SoCalCreations tank estimate... stayed an estimate ;( * My $80 Petco runs (approx $30 when I get home) Why does it feel like I'm smuggling narcotics ;O

lol - you are all cracking me up. I have been following along in this very funny and very helpful thread - good work jc!! I am starting a 90 now, so I LOVE these 90 gallon builds! I am going through the same process of elimination to decide on a tang, but I think I have decided on a naso and a sohal. JK!! Had to get the tang police's blood pumping a little.
But really I'm thinking of a chocolate aka lemonpeel mimic tang. http://animal-world.com/encyclo/mari.../chocolate.php I think it will be cool to watch him change colors as he becomes an adult. This thread almost had me considering a powder brown, but I don't want to be unoriginal. And I love NG's Ocean, but her thread was also very helpful and I have decided to save the powder blue phase for later in life when I have a very large in-wall tank. It funny for me to hear all the guys wishing their wives and GF's were more into reefing. It's sort of the other way around in my relationship - my BF is always the one saying, "ok, but this is the last fish tank thing we are buying this month!" I did get lucky though b/c he is very handy. He is building me a new canopy now, and one day we plan to build our very own 'reef house' ( my dream house built entirely around the fish-room and the in-wall tank). He's even excited about that! |

ok, where the hell are these girls coming from? let me tell ya, I don't think they exist in California. ok, damn it, I going to get the Mrs. to do a jcpatella action shot although I'll have to bribe her with some insane amount of house work.

Do reef hands count as dishpan hands? If so I think we've found a loophole!

My wife is somewhat involved w/my tank. I had to go to Iraq last year and she took care of it. She did a good job. She always tell me when something doesn't look good, or I should something.
I have an Alanticblue tang in my 90 gallon. Alot of people do not talk about them much. I think they are cool and from what I read they are little more hardie than the Powered Tangs. |

Got the spectrometer in today. Checked it with distilled water and it read exactly 0. Measured the SG in the tank and it read exactly 1.021. When I used the floating arm hydrometer, I would get a reading just shy of 1.022. Now the kicker is after I allowed the water to sit in the hydrometer for a couple of hours and assume room temp, it read exactly 1.021. Not really a huge difference, eh? I mean, we're talking a difference of a thousandths.
Don't get me wrong. The spectrometer is a lot faster and easier to do as far as not getting the hand wet or breaching the tank with the unit!

Reef hotties? Boy, where did I come in on the middle of this thread! LOL
BTW. The brown algae is almost completely gone, but now I'm seeing hints of green algae. Here we go again!

Mine wants me to get the 300+g room divider...I think it is because she wants me to replace the floor, build shelving, and put in faux beams in the living room.
I start to explain how much a 300 would cost in real terms of LR, equipment, lights..."No big deal, you can just work more overtime to pay for it." |

FEEDING TIME!
I don't have an extravagant feeding schedule, yet. I rotate between pellets, home-made fish food, and nothing. Sometimes I target feed the home-made mix and sometimes I just dump it in. Tonight was one of those "Dump it in" nights. Frozen chunk of homemade fish food. Defrosted food with larger chunks removed. The fish won't eat the big chunks, so I have to remove them myself. It's kind of a pain, but oh well! The always-agreeable wife, decked out in her scrubs (she works for a dentist). Dumping it all in. It's crazy how much it looks like when the powerheads blow it all around. The fish go nuts, but I worry that the cleaner shrimp is going to have a heart attack! He flips out like he's never been fed before! Now that I look at this shot, it reminds me of an early action shot in Nanogurl's thread! I figured with all the posting lately, I have to post some pics to keep up with the ratio!

Nah...you can see your wife's face so it doesn't look anything like NG's thread.
Did you create your own mix or use one of the recipes? Also...in the middle of your bathroom remodel, did you think to alter that canopy a bit so you wouldn't have to open up the whole top piece? Just a brace and a couple of hinges so that front panel can flip for easy feeding? (I' guessing it is only flipped all the way for the pic...just looking for reasons for you to continue to tinker with it.) Last edited by JJ4417; 01/02/2008 at 11:22 PM. |
