Well paintball wasn't too great today.

We got our CO2 filled up and..... I guess you arn't suppose to play in cold weather right afetr getting ur CO2 filled up

4 out the 6 guns shut down due to the cold CO2.

Mine and another guys were good so we playing civil war and just went out into an open feild... stood 30 feet apart and shot each other till a head shot or out of ammo.

It was fun and everyone just kind of took turns.

Cold day.... but fun none the less.

[Jordan55]

I saw Harry Potter tonight again with some good friends.

After the movie we all went to her house and hung out. Good night all in all.

Everything here is ICE. We get out of the movie at like 10:30 and all the cars are covered. You see cars doing 360's and 180's..... couldn't go any faster than like 35. Fun though

[Billy1234]

Which Harry Potter is in the movies?
(And don't ask why I'm writing this at 3:30 in the morning )

[Billy1234]

I just looked outside (at 4 am) and it's snowing!!!

[tsquad]

Snow

[Jordan55]

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Best book.... and so far, best movie.

Who wants pics of my tank this afternoon?

[Jordan55]

I wouldn't mind!


I am setting up my 2.5 gallon this week. I am goingto put a small goby in there for a few months... then when I get my SH tank up and running this Spring, I will transfer him over.

NEW SUBJECT:

Dream tanks..... what kind of tank(s) do you want to have when you get older and settled into a house?

[tsquad]

My dream tank would be as follows:

1. 96"L x 96" W x 36" H w/ Starfire sides...1,400g
2. Solatubes for light...in the winter, supplemented with 5x 1000w halides
3. 12x Tunze 6200s, 3x 7095 controller, 4x Waveboxes
4. Barebottom with Black Starboard
5. 1.5k lbs of Fiji/Tonga live rock
6. 2x Deltec AP1006, just to make sure
7. 2x Deltec PF1000 Calcium Reactor
8. All computer controlled, connected to cell phone and pager (everything can be done from a computer, anywhere in the world...water changes, lights, etc.)
9. ALL SPS

Then, I would have a 180g for seahorses/pipefish. A 48x48x24 cube for a ritteri anemone and some clowns. And a 180g for softies.

Full tank:



Left side:



Middle (yellowish/blurry):



Right Side (VERY yellow):



Larry and the clown:



Slimer:



Those were all the pics I could get before the batteries died...I can't find the new batteries I just bought

The sand isn't that yellow, that was the camera. There is a little bit of fine detritus, from the Home Depot sand, so I'm still working on siphoning it out. It's not bad though. I'm going to get a bunch of critters to work the sand this Christmas, so we should be good to go.

The FTS shows the best color, that's what it's like in real life. I'm hooking up the Phoenix 14k DEs next weekend, so I'll have more pictures then.

So now we just sit, add stuff, and wait

This is my dream tank. It may be hard to notice in that picture, but the tank actually goes over the ceiling and to the other side, AWESOME!!

[Jordan55]

OK... but speaking relastically.

Squader....... nice tank you got going. Is it semi new? I just notice you don't have many fish or corals.

[Billy1234]

OK... but speaking relastically.

That would defeat the purpose of a dream tank.

I'm just joking, I know what you mean. I'm not sure. I haven't been in this hobby too long, so I can't really say much. I guess I would like a big in wall tank somewhere in my house, but for now I'm content with my 20g

[LeftCoast]

For me, a dream tank would be all about trying to replicate a specific biome (such as deep water, lagoon or reef slope) and from a specific island. The coolest thing I could think of is to take some pictures of a 100'x100' area and then trying to recreate that.

Not new. Been up since last January

I've just been very slow, and have been adding things (equipment), cooking rocks, etc. Now I don't have to add anything except the Tunze 6100, which is on its way, and hang my pendants. So you should see lots more stuff in my tank in the coming months.
