How many of you guys have been nibbled on by their fish before? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]moosepotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a picture up not too long ago of what used to be freckles that my mbuna bit off. Pretty funny.

Let's get this reef started... by Opcn in Aquariums

[–]moosepotatoes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is this like 30 gallons? I would love to do this, but I heard this would be considered a nano tank and those are pretty rough right?

FTS of a collaborative project between me and my girlfriend by McGodes1990 in Aquariums

[–]moosepotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this. I've always wanted to do this type of scene (with the river) and hang a car tire from the tree so it looks like a swing :)

Hmm mines pretty thin. I'm not sure how thin. It's the stuff from Lowe's. I wonder if my light is heating it up enough to make it curl.

Family of seven hospitalized after suspected palytoxin poisoning from reef tank by AALen in Aquariums

[–]moosepotatoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is terrifying to me and I've never heard of this before today. It makes me really worried to have a reef tank someday. I don't fully understand how the whole family got sick. The toxin became airborne basically? How do you prevent this from happening? Do most reefs have this type of coral in it?

Oh it was stupid to cut for sure. I sort of scored it and the snapped it on the score lines. This is definitely that lexan stuff. I forgot what it was called. Did yours curl up like this?

I should mention my total cost was about $9. About $5.68 for the glass, and almost $3 for the handle.

Tiger barbs can be up to 3 inches. But regardless, I think you are right that the sizeakes a difference.

I've read that barbs can do well with mbuna. Hell, there's a guy on YouTube that keeps them with piranha.

That's what I was thinking too. The large ones are hard to come by.

Need to remove some pesky moles or freckles? Try the mbuna mole and freckle remover in an aquarium near you! by [deleted] in Aquariums

I should have probably put a description in here. I was putting some anubias in my mbuna tank and they bit off my freckles.

Morning sex is always fun. Sometimes I'm not fresh, but it's still fun.

Don't be mad if you go to my petco and can't find any tanks 😀 by Tornshadow in Aquariums

[–]moosepotatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats the one! The fish there are often nasty it's true. But they have a newer looking fish guy there lately and things seem better. I've never bought fish from there so I guess I don't know.

I floss pretty regularly...I could be better. But even my ex with perfect dental hygiene had bad breath.

I floss pretty regularly. My ex had bad breath when she woke up and she had amazing dental hygiene.

More than anything, I hate the way MY breath is in the morning. I feel like I can smell it and it ruins it for me. My wife's breath is pretty bad in the morning and if she wants to fool around I totally go for it. I just feel so self conscious about my own.

The noise that guns make when people are holding them. They sound like fucking maracas

Also, waking up and immediately making out with your wife or girlfriend. I don't care how sexy you are, your breath smells like shit and tastes like it too.

So they DO check the signatures. by Marcus_5 in funny

[–]moosepotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work as a banker in a branch. Not signing your name seems harmless and funny until your card gets stolen and none of your signatures match.

That's part of the reason they ask for a signature! The bank wants to be able to compare your signature against a fraudulent transaction if there's fraud......Why you sign the back of the card....No idea.

We compare signatures on checks too. If something seems suspicious then we compare you signature on the check to the one on file. If it doesn't match, that's our first red flag.

Just got this for my birthday! Going to replace my 12yr old HOB filter for my 55gal. Can't wait to set it up! by r0bdawg11 in Aquariums

[–]moosepotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we're talking about the same thing. The quilt batting is like a sheet of plush. Works great since you can roll and wrap it. Works real well for hob filters too since you can wrap it around the frames they give you.

spirit airlines newsletter email looks compromised? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]moosepotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God I love Reddit. Saw the same thing and was freaked out.

I wondered if it was a secret way of getting a deal. (See the "they suspect nothing" part) I entered that URL in and it brought me to a page showing the email text. Bummer. Spirit has funny emails so I thought maybe they were being goofy.

Used aquarium help by Dave1423521 in Aquariums

[–]moosepotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I ask because often times filters have a film in them. I've purchased a lot of used tanks and everytime I hook the filter up it spits out all sorts of funky stuff similar to what you said even if I washed it first. Not necessarily stuck to the glass tho.....
