If yall don’t see me around…it’s because I am officially done buying coral……

I’m gonna be working 20 hrs a day for the next several months to pay off my credit cards

Although my Apple credit card just increased my limit….

PayPal better not try that shenanigans

Jeez credit card company’s are bad!!!


But really I need to pay at least 1 off…..just need to figure out which one……probably Apple
PayPal is 6months no interest…Apple I owe less on…..
Well, and I'm sure you know this, but you can call in to Dave Ramsey and see what he has to say about the matter.
But what id do is sell some plasma, pay off the apple and celebrate the money win by buying something for the tank. Rinse. Repeat.
Need to find cheap dosing containers
Or
Repurpose something into dosing containers
I use milk jugs. After the milk is out. And I've washed them.
4 head dosing pump should be here tomorrow

Perfect time to start a diet

...or there's always the Michael Scott way:

What size were you looking for? I have been saving the plastic containers that my coffee comes in. That's what I'm using for my all for reef. It'll hold a half gallon I think. I'll go to my thread and find a picture....

Anyone with experience shipping corals have any thoughts on this box? Its on the small side, so more economical for those of us without big shipping contracts, its double insulated, the box has a layer of foam, then the insulated "bag liner".

That looks like a great box! I think it would work well in a frag swap situation or just single use, too

so im doing the math on shipping quotes... 2 day ups was only 20 for that size box weighing 1lb5oz. (estimated based off 16oz of water weighed in the plastic measuring cup to simulate frags on plugs). Jumped up to 50$ for next day air. Which, honestly isn't that bad for a non vendor quote. However, its a pretty small box, definitely only a few frags, probably less than 10 depending on size, how contained, how much water packed.

Im shipping from ID, quoted on the farthest FL and NY (sorry alaska, didn't check on you) was 20 for 2day ups and 50 for overnight. Shipping did get cheaper when i checked CA, 14 for 2day and 23 for overnight. So it does vary a good bit based on actual distance.

That would work. Then all I need is some acrylic tube to stick in the container….


I’m gonna check out local thrift shops and see if I can find any containers
