Awake...

MyMonkey · #1 10/15/2006, 04:34 AM

It's 4:00 am. I am awake, patroling the borders of my sanity.

short trip huh? teasing...
Did you ever completely solve your algae problem?

MyMonkey · #3 10/15/2006, 08:32 AM

Not just yet. Although, it seems as though it is going away SLOWLY....

dugg · #4 10/15/2006, 10:19 AM

When you wake up all groggy from all that patroling, give this a read.

When you have a tough time getting to sleep again tonight, ponder this.

It is impossible to lick your elbow.

Serra · #6 10/15/2006, 10:40 AM

And who wants to?

herpchat · #7 10/15/2006, 11:06 AM

Someone who is told they can not.

MyMonkey · #8 10/15/2006, 01:50 PM

For $5 I will lick your elbow.

Although, what if you have some genetic defect that allows you to lick your own?

captbunzo · #9 10/15/2006, 04:18 PM

Oh my - my 6 year old daughter can almost do it. She must be made of rubber....

poke75 · #10 10/15/2006, 05:29 PM

Dugg, that is freeeeekkkyyy

captbunzo · #11 10/18/2006, 03:07 AM

I think this thread should be resurrected every night by those still awake when they should be asleep.

Good nite...

JR719 · #12 10/18/2006, 04:25 AM

Good idea Paul. I just made it home, 4:25 A.M. by my Mickey.

Uh... More Border Patrol, aisle 12.

captbunzo · #16 10/20/2006, 11:48 PM

Muwhehehehe.... This is about as late as I am going to be awake tonight...

papagimp · #17 10/21/2006, 08:00 AM

hahahahaha, oh man I have to pee now!, lol. that was some good stuff. Dugg and speedbump, you are the stuff of scholars!

herpchat · #18 10/22/2006, 04:37 AM

OK its 4 AM and I am up, guess its my turn to post.

I inheritied a bunch of liverock today and its totally loaded with zooanthids and have no idea what they are. I will take some pics after I get batteries for my camera. The rock was also totally covered in hair algae, what is the best way to get rid of it?

dugg · #19 10/22/2006, 10:11 AM

The rock or the algae? You can send the rock to me and i will dispose of it properly. If you don't have an algae problem in the tank you are putting it in, it should die off pretty quick. If you have any algae issues, you might place the rock in a dark spot in the sump for a week to kill it back some. The zoos should be fine. You might even try scrubbing it off with an old toothe brush before placing it in the sump.

Is it the soft fuzzy algae, or the coarse stiff stuff like a shaving brush? If it's the stiff kind, an emerald crab will make short work of it.

herpchat · #20 10/22/2006, 12:10 PM

Its the fuzzy stuff. Yeah my tank has no algae problem so I removed as much as I could and put it in the tank. I will split the zoos inhalf and bring that half of them to the next meeting for ID and to put in the frag program.

captbunzo · #21 10/23/2006, 02:35 AM

Ping - my turn to post in the up to sticking late thread.... I REALLY hope to post less in this thread this week as I REALLY need to start getting to be by freaking midnight. We'll see how that goes. I expect each and every one of you to give me what for if you see me posting in here late at night.... Or something like that...........

Now to a REAL post...

Gerald - about those Zoanthids. It's worth noting that they will likely be impossible to ID at a meeting as they will be all peaved off and closed up. Rather, work to get a good picture or 2 or 3 or 10 ahead of time, post it in this forum, and we will do our best to ID.

Now for one of my soapboxes - attempting to ID many corals, such as zoanthids, to common names or species is often a comical effort. Common names are often some random name that someone made up, OFTEN someone selling them and trying to make money off of them. Species is just plain impossible for most cases.

However, I'd say an ID down to the genus is very possible and probably somewhat useful.

But heck, who cares, it's 2:30 in the morning and I'm going to get 5-6 hours of sleep. Fun day ahead.....

Nite all!!!

herpchat · #23 10/23/2006, 11:17 AM

Basically I inherited someones live rocks, however they came from Gary Walker so we just might be able to track down what they are. When I get home I will email him or post to him about what they were because I have his list as to what he put in that tank.

captbunzo · #24 10/26/2006, 01:33 AM

Part of me thinks I should go to bed now. The rest of me just realized that the forum gets really rocking at night sometimes........

Alas, good nite (soon)....
