I'd beat you to them. I'm closer :P

[Drumachine09]

Ill wrestle ya for em!:hmm3grin2orange:

[cocoa_pleco]

Its like that movie rat race.

I think faith_at_large has the best chance, since she lives in edmonton. Second is brent3369 since he lives in saskatchewan, third is abbeys_mom in ontario, and fourth is cartmanis in pictou, nova scotia.

Whoever makes it gets ALL my tanks, all my game systems, probably 5000$, my arcade machine, my plasma and fat t.v, my toads, my motorcycle/go-kart/dirtbike/quads, and my golden zippo i bought off a dead guys family that said "happy 63rd birthday C.G.

[Drumachine09]

I dont know, i do Drive an 89' Oldsmobile!

[cocoa_pleco]

The motorcycle is PIMPIN. That baby accelerates faster than michael jackson to a kiddy party (pretty fast). Youre gonna need a semi to take all my crap to kansas.

Hell, may as well have my car too!

[cocoa_pleco]

anything i should do to my tanks before i go? im giving them a 25% vacuum, but is there more i can do?


oh yeah, and if the plane crashes, whoever gets here first also gets my minifridge with subway from january. E[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

...toss that sub!

[cocoa_pleco]

i dont think i want to. I hardly use that fridge. wal-mart just had it cheap and i bough it.

I ALWAYS forget if i put something in it.

I cant think of doing anything else for my tanks. The plane leaves at 10am, so im gonna get up at 4:30, look at the tanks, watch t.v for a hour, go for a bmx cruise, play xbox, go to mc.donalds for some grub, then go.

The one thing i cant stand is when you get up early, the day goes on forever, then you always get some bloody dam kid kicking your seat and screaming on the plane.

That's why you bring sleeping pills to slip into the orange juice on the stewardess' cart before she hands it to him.

[cocoa_pleco]

GREAT IDEA! I could just slip a bottle of nyquil too!

Last time i went to vegas some DAM annoying kid screamed the whole way. I was gonna bust a cap in his a$$ so fast.

You sure would have shown that 8 year old :rolleyes:

[Lady Hobbs]

Have a good holiday and don't buy too much stuff.

[cocoa_pleco]

man, if i got my hands on that lil guy, BOOM.

The only thing i really need is a canister filter for my 20g. Thats all im aiming for. I should call the airline to see of i can bring the auratus as a personal bodyguard against pesky lil kids.

[Lady Hobbs]

Why do you want a canister for a 20 gallon? This is almost over-kill. Why not just a good penquin bio-wheel. They pump a lot of water.

[cocoa_pleco]

or else i was thinking of the biggest aquaclear. That should pump pretty good. The tanks heavily planted, and theres debris from the plants, so i need good filtration.

[Chrona]

Canisters on a 20g = really clear water :)

[cocoa_pleco]

i know. My old hydor on my 20g long cleared up new tank syndrome in 3 hours.

FOR SURE A FLUVAL NOW. NOONE TRY TO CHANGE MY MIND! lol

[Chrona]

Why Fluvals? They are so expensive, get an Eheim classic for like 60 bucks

[Chrona]

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

Eh? Eh?? Mmmmm German engineering

[cocoa_pleco]

hell, im german, why not.

YOURE CHANGING MY DAM MIND AGAIN! lol


Ive got 16 hours to decide, then the plane leaves. AHHHHHHHHHHHhhhh

I think im edging toward fluval, but now you throw the eheim into play.
Those eheim prices are really good though, leaving me more cash for other stuff. Is there really any significant difference between fluvals and eheims?

[Chrona]

The Eheim classics are legendary because you only need to do filter maintenance once every 3-6 months. Fluval recommends monthly. Plus.....it's an Eheim....I mean cmon ;)

I'm planning on getting one, once I save up enough to swap out my 10g AGA tank for an ADA or something nice.

[cocoa_pleco]

EHEIM IT IS! 3-6 month maintenance RULES!

DO NOT CHANGE MY MIND NOW! lol


now my checklist-

money- check
nyquil and sleep pills for brats on the plane- check
auratus as bodyguard against brats- check
Ipod- check
Nintendo DS- check

Plus, eheims are cheaper so i can probably get my heavily planted 20g a better co2 system. I have the ghetto fizzy tab one, but i want one of those nutrafin machine ones.

Don't use the nutrafin. Since you'll have a canister filter, an in-line reactor using pvc pipe is the most efficient and cheapest way to go.

[Drumachine09]

I dont know about those eheims, the fluval would be better, for several reasons.

[Chrona]

Yeah, actually, now that I think about it, a Magnum Pro may be good too. Or maybe a Filstar turned way down. Or a Fluval.....Or the Eheim

^_^

[cocoa_pleco]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh


Ill make a dam poll, and when i ge up at 4 a.m tommorow i'll check and see which has the most votes. lol

[cocoa_pleco]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIRED. I am not ready to face a kid on a plane kicking my seat and screaming.

i cant wait for mcdonalds breakfast. MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[cocoa_pleco]

TALK ABOUT TRAUMA!

On the way there, i just had a screaming kid, on the way back was WAY worse.

Midflight, the stewardess asked if there was a doctor or nurse on the plane. Someguy was sick i the back, and DIED. When they pulled his body out in a chair, his limp arms and head smashed into my seat. NASTY.

As for what i bought, i got a fluval 205 on sale at petsmart, 2 powerheads and a 20g UGF at petco, some tapwater condiotioner at wal-mart, DC shoes, a DUB hat, live mexican jumping beans, some neom fish caves, and i cant remember it all.

My tanks were in good condition. My honey gourami looked a bit odd when i left, so i isolated him right before i caught my plane. He died, but otherwise nothing else died.

That dead guy STILL is bugging me.

[cocoa_pleco]

Aaaannnddd, i bought a python at wal-mart for 30$.

The wal-mart had pretty good tank conditions. All the tanks had gravel too. The only thing was they had about 40 betta cups. WAY too many. The petco was a first-timer for me. They had great tanks, and really cheap prices. I saw my first rat there, since alberta is rat free to prevent a plague.

The fluval is so dam complex i had to watch the video 3 times. The UGF was really easy (duh).

I also saw a kid get POWNED at wal-mart. He was stealing, and after when his aunt came in to get him, she grabbed him and said "Im gonna punch ya right between the fuc*in eyes"

That dead guy is STILL in my head. His poor family was probably waiting for him, and he dies. They didnt even put a dam blanket on him.

[Abbeys_Mom]

How awful. Another reason to fear flying.

[cocoa_pleco]

that was a MAJOR fear.

Another thing that pi$$ed me off is WestJet has that commercial that says EVERY plane has seatback tv. On the way, there was tv but it clunked out 90% of the way, and there was no tv on the way back. so much for that commercial.

[Incredulous_Ed]

ew, a dead guy? that's so disgusting. I feel sorry for his family though.

[cocoa_pleco]

i came back yesterday! lol

[Drumachine09]

ew, a dead guy? that's so disgusting. I feel sorry for his family though.



HA! nice save....cheater XD

[cocoa_pleco]

SAVED! lol

When his face and legs hit my seat i almost passed out.

FINALLY i got the dam fluval going. After watching the video a total of 5 times it makes some sense.

[DemonShark]

Was there really a dead guy???

[cocoa_pleco]

Yep. I think he had a heart attack or something 35 minutes into the flight, and the flight was a hour and 15 minutes. The stewards asked for nurses and doctors to come to the back, and then about 45 minutes into the flight the stewards started screaming for help. Before we landed, a stewardess was crying and we landed REALLY quick. EMS and cops came in and they wheeled him out on a chair. His face was blue and he was limp and his arms, legs, and head hit all the seats. He was only like 40-45 years old. After, i saw him in the airport behind a curtain and he was pronounced dead.
