Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
It was a movie about Nissan getting a video game player to race actual race it was based on a true story. I don't remember the name but it was pretty good.
Ohhh, two subjects I love - gaming and race cars. I’ll check it out.
 
Tenecor per chance?
They are on my list to contact...Even if I have to drive to Cali or Texas or Vegas with a uhual I will. Thats my plan to pick it up and make it a trip short vacation...We love road trips and her dogs loves them too...

You might check out James at Envision in Oregon. He is not to far from Oregon Coast Aquarium which would be a nice side trip. Not to mention the Oregon Coast is very nice.
 
Do I need to put a small container of sand in the QT for the one I am getting? Not sure which ones like to sleep in the sand and which ones don't.
No, I don't believe it's a sand sleeper
 
No wait it's the Lubbock that I'm not getting sorry I have slept since I read the email and thought she said the carpenter but I went to reread the email.
But the Lubbock says Plentiful. Weird. Carpenter definitely doesn't need sand. It makes a mucous cocoon to sleep in.

Tenecor is local to us - over by Deer Valley Airport. It'd give you an excuse to stop by Ammo A-Z while you're up there. They usually have great prices.

The Gold Trail drive up the Oregon coast is magical. My hubby and I took a 5 day trip from Bay Area all the way to Ashland in our 5th-wheel, taking the coast all the way.

I have a list of places to visit all the way up there!

That will be interesting to see I think. It was not that they were out just that the ones they had were not up to their shipping standards.
 
Ok, off to radiation. I’m excited as my daughter is taking my washer/dryer out of my storage for her new house, and I asked them to get my Stickly desk and chair and bring it to house. I miss it, and while it will be even more of a tight fit in this bedroom, it will allow me to sit properly so I can use laptop, instead of sitting in bed all the time using a broken iPad. It’s in my avatar picture.

Time to surround myself with my lil treasures!

Good call then.
 
@Fishy Guy , where you been, I hope everything’s alright? I know we lost @Katrina71 because of something I said, you too?
 
And of you fellers (or fellettes) ever bury a skull instead of boiling/bleaching? I've had one in the ground for about 6 months and I'm considering digging it up and burying another...
