jmann's 75

[jmann124]

I just realized I've never actually started a thread to show anything in my tank and what not. So, I'll start doing that here.

So I saw my turbo paying my conch for a ride by cleaning his shell.

Ha, that's cool.

Here's a couple of green frilly mushrooms I got 2 days before the frag swap.

Here they are now. Probably tripled in size. I have three of them total and would like to unload 1 of them but they're attached to a large rock and I am not sure how to remove just one, so in stuck with all three.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

I picked up another 75g w/DIY stand and canopy from an AL reefer today. I figured since I will be moving soon, it will be easier to move everything to another tank then tear down the current tank than to move the inhabitants and tank at the same time. The new tank is sitting on the carport full of vinegar water for the night.

That would be great. When you planning move? If need help let me know.

My wife goes for training July 19. The kids start school August 16 I think. I'll be here for a couple months after that to train my replacement. I will definitely need help breaking down everything and loading it up. I still don't know how I'm going to do it yet.

 

[JOKER]

Are you moving out of town then?

 

[jmann124]

We haven't told anyone yet because my wife has to put in her resignation, so keep it down for now but yes, we're moving to Knoxville.

 

[JOKER]

Ok.

Here's a few pics I took tonight.

Dang man! I hate to see you leave us. But ETRC will be happy to gain one since we just took 2 of there members.

I hate to leave too. I've been thinking about just maintaining membership and traveling up for the monthly meetings when I can.

 

[Gladfelter]

You can still join ETRC too! Lol two members one being our president lol. Nashville is a great city though and you guys have a great club there. Really enjoyed your swap.

I'm excited to be moving to Knoxville. My wife will be teaching at Ridgedale and I'll be here until we hire and I train my replacement.

My wife and kids were in Knoxville today for paperwork. My oldest son is 17 went to The Coral Reef to get an application while my wife was in a meeting. I don't think they're hiring right now but maybe he'll get lucky. Which means I'll be getting lucky(discounts and first pick). Lol

Coral Reef is a great place. Amy is the Manager. The Aquarium is hiring I think. They had a sign up last time I was there. It's right around the corner from Coral Reef.

Yeah I've been to the aquarium before. It's bigger than coral reef but the people at coral reef are always nicer and more helpful. Between you and me, he needs to learn a little more before he tries to work there, but I wouldn't keep him from it.

 

[Gladfelter]

Ya I wasn't gonna put the Aquarium down but they are probably my third favorite....out of three, LFS. He would learn quickly though lol.

I picked up another 75 with a DIY stand last Friday. I figured it might make the move easier if I had a tank set up and plumbed instead of having to break a tank down and set it back up after 4 hours on the road. I cleaned it up good and have it a vinegar bath and leak tested it. No leaks and aside from a few small old dried coralline spots, it's ready to go. The stand is ugly and needs a bigger door, but it can be sanded and painted and I can cut a bigger door for it. Here's some crappy pics of it sitting on my carport after cleaning.
