nice thomas! i tried the tsa sale and was really bummed. the stuff was extremely expensive even marked down! but i had already bought a shipping module so i tried to find a couple of things to put in it😥

Yeah. In the future if you do not buy anything at the end of the sale they will refund the shipping module. I was looking through it as well and did not really find any good deals and felt the same way. Kind of feels like they just upped their price 20% and added an extra 20% off. Last time they had a sale I participated in I thought I got a lot of good deals. This time around I was disappointed and did not buy anything. It seems like their base coral price is pretty high for normal items too.
 
I mean I could always add a sump later. My big thing issue is I am not too handy. Some of the 125 tanks as well are only 33 inches long and I prefer a longer shorter tank.
My 125 was only 18" long.... Of course it was 6 feet wide and 25 " tall.
 
Ok, I’m freaking out, I’m not going to lie. I have diatoms and I’m afraid they will crash my new tank. I’m thinking of doing a total tear down! I’ll wait to post a picture until my tank lights are on 100% blues. My parameters are perfect, don’t ask for actual numbers because they are perfect.
Rip clean!
 
No way!! You make this thread way more fun CB. We're all glad you're here.
Except Kevin. He wishes she was in a pickle jar, but he's weird like that.

Did you come up with anything Jill?
 
yep plain water for me for 3 more weeks...lol...
New whole house water treatment system getting installed tomorrow and they going to plumb in a valve so I can hook up the 7 stage rodi to it for the tank...
How are you feeling buddy?

I picture you sitting at the table with a cup of coffee, and a planning journal, while cleaning a tanfoglio pugio .45. Am I close at all?
 
You ARE a noob. Definitely not 1337 like the rest of us.
Oh no is 1337 like the new 6 7? Or are you saying that's Kevin's birth date?
 
@Corals.com Thanks for stopping by today! You were a bad (great) influence! I had to make an order before the sale ended.

Holy cow, looks like some straight up drama went down today. Also yall made me laugh so hard i need an inhaler, and im not even asthmatic!

And i know, im late to the party and there were many other topics i would have liked to forcefully interject myself into from today's events, i will leave it with these:

Wow that P2S makes you look like you know what you're doing.

Seriously, very nice work.
Doesnt it though? That print looks down right professional!

Chris that is awesome! I also support the message you added about hugs too. 90% of people would've had the idea, then chickened out lol
Mama didnt raise no chicken! (Not my idea though, but once it was out there it had to be done)

Good night smorgies :)
