:frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty: My yasha jumped out of my 34g over the weekend when I was in Calgary which prompted me to start to put egg create over my tanks. I got it over my 80g, got half the 230g fowlr tank covered (the half that always seems to have lots of water splashes over the side of it) then got to tired yesterday to finish.

Feed the fowlr tank around 9:30pm tonight and my pink fairy wrasse was in it. The same pink fairy wrasse......who was almost killed by my mexican rainbow wrasse (he constantly picked on the mexican rainbow until the rainbow realized he was bigger and beat the crap out of him) but somehow he survived it and went on to make a miracle recovery......only to jump out of the tank tonight!!!!!!:evil: I've had him for about 2yrs and even when the rainbow was chasing him like crazy and almost killed him he never jumped then. When he was getting beat up I tried in vain to catch him out of the 230g but was unsuccessful, then he made a full recovery and in the past 2 months things seemed to have settled down and they seemed to be getting along ok. Finally put some egg create over half the tank and he jumps???? WTF??????

I fell asleep on the couch shortly after feeding the tanks around 9:30pm. Around 10:30 my dog Bailey started barking which was odd as my big dog rarely barks, but I was asleep on the couch and was to tired to think of why she was barking. When I finally got off the couch to go to bed (around 11:15) I found him on the carpet steps a level up from the fish tanks :cry: He was dried up and pretty dead looking (and I'm guessing the cat batted him around and left the fish on the steps....not sure how else he'd get there) but I tried putting him in the sump anyway, hoping that somehow he'd come back to life, unfortunately he did not and I had to flush him :sad:

Super mad at myself for not finishing covering the other half of the tank and for not waking up when Bailey was barking......can't help but wonder if I had of woken up if I would I have been able to find him and save him in time :cry:

These "way before release marketing threads" get really tiring. Maybe I'm just cranky this morning but the blaring trumpets are making me cross eyed.

Pffft ... fizzzzz ... ZAP! :mrgreen:

Ack, that definately blows. Don't beat yourself up over it for too long. Just store it for future procrastination events.

i know it shoudn't bother me.... but seriously... My work e-mail has my name written in bold letters:

Lyndsy Maksym
Tool Crib Coordinator
Prairies Region

Yet everyone still spells my name wrong... EVERY TIME.... it's frustrating... I think I'm going to start calling people by random names through e-mail at work...Granted it's not a common spelling.. but it's right infront of their faces!

Ya it sucked. I finished all my egg create covers for the tanks last night. Here's hoping I will not have any more fish jumping accidents.

I know this isn't a chat section but ...

Did you get your crate to fit well ?
Mine fit so well into my Aqueon I was shocked. All I had to do was file smooth the cut ends. I have a 75g so a left and right piece for me, and a custom one for the overflow box with some bug screen on it. Now I can remove my standpipe strainers for more flow :biggrin:

Pretty sure this is 313 pages of chat section. :razz:

Ya I know, but you get my point. In the spirit of Mindy's original post, this is for Random Thoughts, not back and forth banter.
Anyway, I just threw it out there to cover my butt :mrgreen:

always C.Y.A.!!!!!!

:question:

Anyone who knows me knows I talk to much so back and forth banter should be a given in my case :lol: and yes after cutting and cutting and trimming and cutting some more, the egg create fits pretty well :biggrin:

I know how to spell it right NOW! :biggrin:

i feel your pain lyndsey:P

I can't resist. This is before the screen covering the overflow, and it is now raised above the overflow ( under the full-cover top ) so there's no spillage noise. To the right you see the fit. Just lucky with the crate and an Aqueon I guess

It's a long drive to Brandon, Man. from Red Deer, AB. :faint:

...And you didn't stop in for coffee. :twised:

Haha, I'm your opposite! Everyone spells my name wrong too, I quit caring a decade ago. :lol:

I spell everyone's name the most common (or most common to me) way such as: Lindsay, Darryl, Matthew, John, Dick (oh I know it is spelled Dyck). I have a reason for this. I deal with a hundred people a day, I'm in a hurry, and I really don't give a crap how you spell your name, or how you pronounce it. If you're a regular, eventually I will remember. ;) I assume that people have this same thought running through their minds if I try to correct their pronunciation or spelling of my name. :lol:

Btw, that last paragraph isn't directed at you Lyndsy (how the heck was it spelled again??), it is universal.

Sadly no, we by passed Saskatoon totally.

Mother nature decided to play a mean april fools trick this morning :twised:

I was laughing till I looked out A window myself.

I KNOW... and it was pick up dog poop day.,..... guess i got out of that one!!

bahahah beautiful sunny day here im thinking beers and bbq in the backyard:P

Ugh dog poo. I have a small dog run and started yestetday. Two garbage bags of mostly leAves and some poop later and I have less than a quRter Done. I figured I should stop, we allready have more garbage then the they have to take.

Well, we can't all live in Ittoqqortoormiit, can we??

It was snowing on the Coast when I woke up this morning as well...what the sh*t?

im truely blessed:P

I just got back from a weeks all inclusive..... "There's your tent, here's your gun, we will pick you up in a week..good luck"

thats how i like it lol:P

Oh joy, the tri monthly detrius purge:neutral:

Everything out, scrape the glass, strain the substrate, suck out crap, do 75% water change, wait for it to clear, put everything back in....

why cant fish just use the toilet? Toilets take all the crap away....

I haven't yet heard anyone doing this.
Who else finds this necessary?
Is it because of a lack of flow in such a small-ish tank and the large size of your substrate?

BTW, is that Majano I see on your Zoas? Or are they something else?

That doesn't sound very healthy for the tank... :eek:

Pffft!

That's what I was thinking, but I'm still a newb and don't know the OP's situation

Yeah, I'm not sure of the situation either, but cleaning a tank that thoroughly will kill off a huge amount of biological bacteria and probably cause a good(bad)-sized ammonia spike.

2865 km & 23 hrs 6 min behind the wheel from 7 am Saturday to 7 pm Sunday was just a little bit of a trip. I wanted to stop at the shop in Saskatoon but it just added to many km to the trip.

If you and I were friends, I'd say that's just not a good enough excuse :biggrin:
You coulda left earlier on Sat and still got home by Midnight tonight

Is there a 'stir-the-pot-smilie'? :twised:

You don't have to deal with MY wife, I do so shortest route possible with the least amount of rough roads which is almost impossible once you out of Alberta.

:lol:

Well either way glad you had a safe trip. Those saskatchetoooners are nuts behind the wheel ;) I kid.
