Good to hear from you, Goldie! I see Slap, our resident agent provocateur, has already pointed you toward the light, so we'll see you over there. :hmm3grin2orange:

Good to hear from you, Andre! Do I see a few ottos hanging out in the corner? Also, Bob Ross appears to be putting a happy little ocean wave next to your tank.

The AC forum has pretty much dried...

Aw, I missed your birthday AGAIN! (at least I remember my wife's and daughter's most years, but I generally forget my own)

Glad it was a good day. thumbs2:

So, I've been hanging out at fishforums.net, which they say was started by a guy named William, who sold it years ago. I wonder if that's our same beloved William. It has been a really long time...

I noticed that William responded to Andre's thread (bluewaterboof), but it seemed like an automated response. Anyway, thanks for letting me know. I can only post here from school now, which makes...

THanks! I love it when the mental images start getting translated into real stuff!

Hey, Slap, I am unable to post to the forum from my Chromebook these days. Any idea why that might be?

Hang in there--you can do this...

So, this is really happening! Good news. Congratulations. Now just the small detail of getting moved. Piece of cake. :)

Got out in the shop and mangled some blue foam over the weekend. Got some drylok and concrete pigment. I am now the proud owner of a bunch of monochrome fake rocks. Need to put some shading on...

Well, 48 hours and no leaks, despite the utter lack of duct tape! tonight I'll clean off all the glops, dry it out, and start building a backdrop. This one is going to be a lot less work than the...

Thanks, slap!

Slap, might be time to move this into the journals section, if you don't mind. I think this thing's a go!

OK, got the tank glued up, more or less. I'll fill it up this evening and see if it took.

Next up: Decide whether I'm going to do a moss wall or a...

Andre! Great to hear from you, man. I tried to respond to this all weekend but my laptop went wonky and wouldn't let me. The old forum has kind of dried up and blown away; there are only five or...

Well, I got the glass, and this task seems a bit more daunting in real life than it was in my head.* Among other things, the glue I got only has a five minute work time, and of course fresh silicone...

Well, at least it's livable, I guess. Small blessings? :)

That looks like an oscar. What size of tank is he in? Boundava is right--he will get very big! I've heard oscars have great personality.

That is one cute gato. :) Hope you can get your hearing sorted out.

Me too! :)

Seems like your life has been pretty chaotic for a very long time. That gets to a person. Hang in there. I hope you can get settled in and start finding some normal soon.

Wow, Sue, that's sort of terrifying. Maybe no on the MTS, then. I really want to try them because I've heard they're great for a natural substrate...but I've heard a lot of horror stories like...

Hi, Natalia. I just got caught up on this. I'm sorry for your loss...I know how hard it is watching a loved one suffer. I hope the move goes well. Living in an unsettled state is awful, and I...

Sounds like a job for the shop vac!

MTS are sort of a weird phenomenon. Some people love them; others insist they are certain disaster. You hear the same extremes about most of the smaller...

Thank you, I can go to bed in peace now. ha ha

Yep, going to try mts on purpose. It's a small tank so squashing them shouldn't be TOO hard if they get out of control.

Sad to see Han has closed up shop. His plants were hard to beat in my book. Han, if you're listening, best of luck in the future!
