my new baby... AKA The Café

Holy panic shoppers today.

my favorite prediction

 

[Projects with Sam]

ah coffee time here...then a hours of sanding some areas and then the fun of cleaning up to prime the walls. Glad i removed all the old wood flooring. Bare concrete is easy to clean..oh, been chatting with some who is tearing down 2 large tanks, and selling a everything. We are going today to look at a few fish, several royal gramas and some black storm clowns are for sure what we want. There are a few tangs but we really have to pass on them, since we have 6 in the 300 and I really do not want to upset the group. They all get along . Perhaps when the 600 is up, and I move them all to it, add a few more. He has some relly nice sps, and lps but someone bought everything...So I guess next time..going to cut my old 140 gallon, 6feet long tank in half to make two frag tanks and then go buy tear downs. Have a few things in the works to get 1 Ocean LLC off the ground and start sales. Plan is private fish locators, frags and the main thing acrylic products. Been working on prototypes for 5 gallon containers for stuff like ato, kalk or what ever someone wants to put in them. I have a huge cnc table system. Now looking at a big table machine that allows you to bend acrylic at specific angles. This would be huge, less glue seams...since I built most of my stuff for the 300, people here who have seen it have gotten me clients.. Still slow. Built a sump and now doing a 180 gallon fresh tank with a sump. Also have to refinish the used acrylic tank they bought ...ah coffee ready...

Thanks for the info....I will share it with Mrs 1 Ocean, she is a graphics person for 30 plus years and worked in product development and advertising companies for long time. Now a company that makes everything from logo's, swag items, printed,pressed, embroidered, signs and to truck car wraps etc stole her for their company...I am super lucky, all free to me...

Walked by the tank with my coffee, saw the mel swimming near the trap, noticed the trap was closed so I reset it. Mel went straight in, easiest catch ever.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Morning coffee, got rid of my 2 day caffeine withdrawal headache.

Trying to reduce my tolerance.

Tank is looking really good after a water change and some glass cleaning. Starting to see new nubs forming on the base of the acros.

The new ones are slowly growing over the glue.

I'm gonna strangle this man. Yesterday when he was asking me irrelevant questions all day long, he also asked where I'm located, I gave him a general approximation ( major intersection within 5min) today when I tell him the fish is ready, he asks where again then comments that it's 1.5 hr drive why didn't you look this up yesterday when I gave you this info?!

 

[najer]

Tell him it is sold, shipping from me will be about $250, bet he bugs off!
Plan B is that you are selling it for a friend and refer him to me, love ripping someone a new one on the phone.

Guy who's taking the tangs said he's good waiting for me to clear out the new tank and get my fish I'm keeping moved over - no rush. Also said he'd take anything I have left at the time, so I'm half tempted to just give him the mel as well and block this other person.

How hard would it be to breed them? I'm surprised none of the Cronies do..

@DiefsReef have you noticed any breeding of yours?

No breeding, in fact I think they died after we put them in, still no sight of them and this time no decrease in aips either. Also saw an explosion of pods, which eat the eggs. Bout to buy a truckload of peppermint shrimp

Scared to add peppermint shrimp myself after hearing horror stories of them picking corals.

Wishing you luck

[Nate Chalk]
