00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[WalkerLovesTheOcean]

did you guys see the drawing this week for all the neat swag for starting a thread?

I didn't! I'll have to find out where the instructions and prizes are!

When I moved away many, many years ago I gave about 3,000 to my younger brother.
Stuff I'd been collecting for years.
Wish I had it all back too....

3000!?!?! What did you mostly collect Joel?

 

[kingranch2003]

Not meaning to be quiet everyone, want to talk more but I've been dealing with taxes and insurance for months on end now, just wanting it to be over so I can free up my mind and soul a bit.
It's really exhausting.

Do your thing Joel, and come hang out when you're done.

3000!?!?! What did you mostly collect Joel?

Yeah maybe more.
Mostly 80's alternative
Big Country U2, the Smiths, REM.
Tons of old jazz too and lots of easy listening elevator music.
Everything really.
Tons of old original pressing Zeppelin and Grateful Dead.
Lots of reggae.
You name it.
I had a bunch of classical, Bach mainly.
Roxy Music, the Jam, 7 Seconds.
It goes on.....
Billie Holliday....

We're soul brothers, I'm telling you! I laughed at my self earlier because I had a Captain Beefheart, Houses of the Holy, and a George Gershwin album all next to each other lol.

I hate lightning....

Always been a struggle for me...

We are definitely soul brothers!
Your music taste is second to none, very expansive and all encompassing like mine!
Love it!
Gotta have music for every mood, right!?

Back to the nicrews...

My old t5 fixture literally started smoking last night.
Don't know if it got wet or compromised in the garage or what but it's 15 years old, 10 at least so I got my money's worth.
Going to stick with the nicrews just don't feel like spending any more money on stuff for the tank.
Salt, supplements, food-okay.

@Rocks reef @kevgib67 The concensus seems to be, dose it after lights out? By my calculations, I should add 2ml of a solution made with one 500mg tablet and rodi water, to my 40 gallon, to be Dosed daily for up to 5 days ish.

The method I used was 500 mg per 20 g one time dosing. After 10 days do a large water change. Remove carbon before dosing and turn off skimmer.

Jeez, left work in a blizzard, it turned to rain about a half an hour driving south. We’re going to get the four letter “s” word over night.

 

[Rocks reef]

We have some awesome friends on the Smorgasbord. Thanks for the fish meds @Rocks reef. The cipro got here!

Sweet!! I'm sorry it took so long. They said two days...

Yes sir. The lights will break down the Cipro pretty quick so dose at lights out. I'd get some mactrobactor 7 and Dr. Tims to dose as well just in case.

Yes, the carbon will strip the Cipro

I have a Reefbrite metal halide with XHO strips that would ROCK that tank. No pun intended

Definitely not your fault! Thank you for sending it. The hammer is still in about the same condition. I think the timing is fine.

I hope it's nothing bad and you can get out of it soon, my friend. But if it's about insurance, I imagine it won't be easy. I see insurance almost as scams, lol. Whatever the insurance, you pay for years and when you need to make a claim for any reason, you have to fight as if you had never paid them $1.

I'm waiting on a pair of AI Primes coming from Canada. Usually 6-7 business days but we're going on 3 weeks...
