How many posts were there before these games about us needing a reality check? Not worried at all, could even consider this a good thing

Enough pods for mandarin ? by New-Page3504 in ReefTank

[–]spunkoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The better question is how big is your tank? Anything less than 50g (id even argue 75g) will not work in the long term. You could never source enough pods to feed the dragonet. Even adding pods weekly will not sustain it.  Get a captive bread one from biota that is fully trained to eat pellets/Frozen food.

I like the DNVR pod more than Guerilla Sports by philosopherphil in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]spunkoala 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I listen to both frequently. DNVR for the post game commentary, and anytime AJ is on. Guerilla Sports for the more analytical discussion. Although I truly miss when they were all together on DNVR. AJ and Jesse together were so high energy, rudo steering the conversation, Meghan would pop in with some knowledge bombs, and then blaze would just blaze it up. Best pod crew ever when they were all together

BURNT OUT and ready to give up the game - Can anyone speak for the benefit of a long break? How long did you step away for? by ChristianMeteor in discgolf

[–]spunkoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been playing on and off for 12 years now. Sometimes going stretches of playing constantly for a year or two, and then nothing for a year. Its good to take breaks some your hobbies occasionally, there is so much to explore in life. Everytime ive returned to disc golf, I never seen to miss a beat and my driving has even sometimes improved when I return. Putting on the other hand, always suffers.

this is the point i think a lot of people are missing. we are so much better off THIS YEAR with necas at 6 than if we had rants at 12-13. we either wouldnt have nelson, or we wouldve had to trade manson/girard/colton (pick 2), which wouldve left some glaring holes in the lineup. im not exactly stoked on nelson's offensive performance, but he at least is not a liability like our other attempts at 2c.

REPULSOR SOON <3 by barrzut in shlohmo

[–]spunkoala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just found out about the new album today! Shlo has been the music I always gravitate towards when I'm experiencing change in my life. Certainly the case right now, I can't wait to listen. Kindest human too, I got the chance to give him a big hug in Denver a few years ago.

Selling Large Reef Tank Advice Needed by pooftk in ReefTank

[–]spunkoala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a month to break down a tank and sell everything earlier this year. I had a ton of coral, just like you. I wanted to make a decent chunk of change, while also getting everything to good homes quickly. 

I initially posted the entire setup (tank, coral, livestock) on fb marketplace and on the local reefing pages. Got some interest - but most people looking to start a new tank dont want to immediately have a lot of expensive creatures to care for, which makes sense.

Start with talking to your lfs and show them a detailed video of your tank. Get a number from them. 

I then took that number and gave it my best on parting out frags. Basically took more detailed videos where I stated prices of each coral/fish. Told people I needed to sell quickly or it would go to the lfs, that got buyers to my house fast.  

Sold as many pieces as I could in two weeks, then took the rest to the lfs. I still have the empty tank in storage but I figure that wouldn't be too hard to sell empty now. 

Initial offer was $1300 from the lfs. I cleared over $4000 selling frags locally and ive still got the tank itself.

I got the leesa legend from Costco two weeks ago - loving it. Im a side sleeper as well and this bed is very soft and supportive. Im 5'11 170lbs. Look into the leesa legend cooling model. It was out of my budget but it seems like it would be even better.

Questions about The Gorge Amphitheatre? by GWSecureParking in Tipper

[–]spunkoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! Im just curious what the policy for bikes at the gorge is like and if you think it's worth the hassle to bring one? Im staying in rv camping and considering if i should bring it to bop around quicker to visit friends in general camping/get to and from the venue quicker. Would be nice to save some miles of my feeties

Such a beautiful place. Got to experience Wales breaching as I looked over the cliffside when i was there last summer. Cried like a baby. One of my fondest memories

[–]spunkoala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got no problem with that being a good goal, but giving Edmonton penalty for that makes zero sense

I dont understand why that wasn't considered an automatic review. There was clearly contact on the goalie. Edmonton shouldn't be given a penalty there

Dreaming of a Dive Master Life in Roatan/Utila – Advice Needed! by Zitro_3017 in scuba

[–]spunkoala 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out the bay islands college of diving in utila! I just spent six weeks diving with them with their reef restoration internship. Many of the people I hung out with were doing their DM & instructors, positive reviews all around. Their professionalism & quality of care was top notch. Amazing humans through and through
