we are home - and I lost a pony and a 2nd has a HORRIBLE case of gas bubble - the 55 is an algea layered mess and the biocube - believe it or not faired the best. I walked in to pumps that were running dry and bubbles bubbles everywhere...
I am a bit ticked and angry and near tears really.

No water ready for water changes and I could just throw up at the amount of work waiting for me.

I got connor's tank all cleaned up and corals off of one another.
The sick pony is in sick bay - all floaty with no bouyance control it will be a miricle if she makes it.

pony tank had a 12 gallon water change, but I can't replace it just yet - but it will look better once filled.

and the 55 I scraped and blew stuff off - the skimmer was not running when we came home. sigh.

thanks for listening to that little rant.

our vacation was great and we enjoyed Fl very much!


can someone sum up this weekend thread for me?

So very sorry to hear what you came home to. Hope the other pony makes it.

A summary(at least what I remember):

Whiskey's car is broke

KIA is now looking at the house he wanted

Doug is looking for another ISP

JY is sick and watched "Into the Wild"

We watched "Into the Wild" as well

I got my job

Jazz is slipping on the hard floors at Kelli's so she put something down to help.

I know there is more, but I am at a lose.

Sorry to hear about the pony Amy




I finally got around to cleaning my skimmer, making new mesh wheels and modding the feed in the skimmer body. Not sure it's going to work, but I'm trying to stabilize the head a little more. Not sure what else I'm going to try to tackle today...

Welcome home Amy.
Sorry you had to come home to such frustration, etc. Hope the pony recoups for you.

Extra summary items....

Awol has a new camera lens and is getting some great new photos. They got the 75g tank, stand, sump and some equipment picked up from me this weekend. They also got some T5's from another local club member who's tank cracked this past week or so.

I'm silly busy with things as usual. Girls are being monsters. Got Keri's car sold Friday though!

And ... just to give you a giggle ... say cheese!!!

That video is too funny Eric. I reminds me of some of the April Fool's pranks we use to do to clients at a marketing promotions company I use to work for. LOL

One of the funnier ones we did (that is site friendly) is put a long zip-tie on some ones driveshaft so it would hit the bottom of the car(careful not to let it hit gas or fuel lines) as it goes around. The faster they drive the faster it clicks. You can hear it for blocks!
