Any CBB owners! I need a little insight. I know it hasn’t been 24 hours but she does not show interest in food. I’m feeding exactly what she was getting at Dr. Reef. She looks good and is acting normal, should I be concerned?
Beautiful fish Kev. Have you tried live brine? Sometimes they kind of shut down from transport or relocation and sometimes seeing live food makes them forget they're PO'ed at you. Worth a try.
 
So it would be like if I bought a nice coffee grinder and coffee maker!

It is worth it just for a few scenes in a few movies.

This scene was absolutely worth it. I had the same satellites, a single 16" sub and one or two sizes up of the fronts and center. The room shaking and the bass noise was awesome for the time. Today's speakers though can get pretty phenomenal sound out of small enclosures. I now just have a small 5.1 SVS setup attached to a seven or eight year old Denon. I have been toying around with investing in a new Denon or Onkyo as I already have wiring in the ceiling to set up 9.1 or 7.2.1. To me the best part of some movies is the soundtrack.

Thanks Tom, I’m trying to feed them the exact food Dr. Reef was feeding them but I plan on trying live baby brine soon!
 
I wouldn't hesitate if I had the extra cash. She'd just have to get over it.

So I just did my radiator, rear brake pads and rotors, and my e-brake yesterday AFTER this picture... 😬

Technically I "had" the money. Had being the keyword.

Haha no im definitely on team "buy the speakers". Just saying Tim would probably use them as much as I would use a coffee pot lol

Sounds like you ended making the right call!

Morning Tom!
 
Thanks John, I’m still waiting on my McCoskers wrasse as the one they quarantined wasn’t doing well and they have another in quarantine to send me when it’s finished.
Probably my favorite current wrasse. Im sorry this happened, but he's going to be worth the wait Kevin!

Our Pintail quickly became one of our favorites. It's like an aquatic puppy dog. It likes to hover in the corner where it can see us in the living room until the lights come on. It is always mellow, except for the twelve hours or so the Orange Back Wrasse was in the tank, and even tolerates the Kleinii that stills follows it around all day.
