Absent, but Lurking...

... and having the occasional smoke.

Lots going on here lately - I started a new hobby, a saltwater fish tank, and I've been wrapped up in that. Wow it's expensive. OUCH. But I've been having a lot of fun with it. It's like having a science project in your living room.

My little brother got married last Saturday, and it was a blast. Saw a lot of family I hadn't seen in a while. And he's got an instant family; his new wife has 2 kids from a previous marriage, so maybe try to work him and the new family into your prayers -he's gonna need it! LOL!! But it was just the occasion to smoke my last RS12.

Life has been a bit hectic (I need to roast a new batch of coffee, ARGH!), but life is otherwise good. Hope you're all enjoying yourselves!

Cheers!

Re: Absent, but Lurking...

So at what RH do you have to keep your fish?

100% at all times. LOTS of special order beads.

Re: Absent, but Lurking...

But don't they burn unevenly that way?

Depends. Gobies are longer and narrower and tend to be more even, as opposed to tangs, which tend to be the Drew Estates Eggs of the marine world.

Re: Absent, but Lurking...

Yeah, I always figured the best place to put any Drew Estate was in an aquarium!

Enjoy your fishies & give them a hug for me.

Re: Absent, but Lurking...

LOL!! Reminds me of the time one of my friends had a couple of Acid Kuba Kubas gifted to him by a friend of his. He gathered up his courage and smoked one, and then wrote a review here sometime last year. If I find it I'll link it; it's pretty funny the way he described the aroma/flavor. Someone here even picked it up as a sig line.

Anyways - hope you're having a lot of fun. Thanks for stopping by!

Re: Absent, but Lurking...

Got any pics of your setup? I'm a fish guy myself, although I stick with freshwater right now.

Which means, by inclusion, so did I.

Likewise, fellas, we're still lurking in and out. It's just been kinda nutty. On top of all the aforementioned stuff, we had a flood in our basement from the strong rains of a few weeks ago here in the Northeast. Life is just now starting to become normal now that our new carpet is laid down.

I think TTgirl is referring to this post about the Kuba-Kubas.

Below are a couple photos to explain why we do this reef tank thing.

Oh, and Triggerfish tend to have irregular burns.

Re: Absent, but Lurking...

Yeah, but I only have to pay for mine once.

BTW, it's MUCH cooler to see the animals live, in your own home. Stay tuned, I'l seeing about having an inpromptu HERF up here at my place.

Re: Absent, but Lurking...

Looks like an excellent setup! Very impressive, indeed.
And certainly more entertaining than what's usually on TV!

Let me see if I can get an image or two uploaded. I had FW too and was going to upgrade to a larger setup, but SOMEBODY talked me into salt.

Really, though, I can't complain. It's been an interesting ride so far.

Re: Absent, but Lurking...

OK, just got a couple new pics in my photo gallery. Only one fish in there right now and not many corals, but I'm getting there.
