FarmerTy Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 The art of misdirection is highly under appreciated, Planeden. Bluemoon, I thought I called Mondays and you got to have Fridays for posting pictures? Did I mix up the days we agreed to? Nitrates appear to be very tasty to my zoa population.

FarmerTy Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 With the ups comes the downs! I'm sad to report that my giant desjardini sailfin, my foxface, and 2 chromis are no longer with us. It's entirely user error too, as I was in a rush this morning and didn't take the time to measure my vokda dose and just poured some in there. The resulting bacterial bloom killed them by asphyxiation. I didn't even realize it either, thought they were all just sleeping on their sides (as they are prone to do sometimes) when I got back in the afternoon but the lights weren't fully on so I couldn't tell. I feel awful... that sailfin has been with me for almost 3 years now! Sad day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 I don't know why, but Juiceman's girlfriend's words are echoing in my head right now. "You guys should just leave your tanks alone and stop playing God with them!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpb Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 So much death. This hurts to read. Lol you may not know it but your 125 has been my biggest inspiration in the hobby and what drove me to go the direction I did in stocking. Sucks to read all the trouble the upgrade has experienced. Hope over the next 6 months things calm down and return to auto pilot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 This is terrible news, I'm so sorry! That sucks your skimmer/sump/etc couldn't keep enough O2 in the water. Huge bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Sounds like you need to send your tank to AA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+olaggie01 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Aww man, that really does suck. That sailfin was a great addition to the large tank. So sorry to hear that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks all. I am truly bummed, knowing more so because I directly caused their deaths. My wife and I will be having a memorial for the fishes this morning and giving them a proper burial. The tank looked so empty last night without Delilah (my sailfin), Twitch (the foxface), and the crew of chromis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+brian.srock Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ty, when did you get a pony tail? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 I grew it in honor of my deceased fishes. I also lost all my hair on the top of my head from the stress of the upgrade. Thanks for the point out. I'll get my graphics guy on that. The banner had to be reformatted for the size restriction on the forum and my mug got all hacked up in the process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+olaggie01 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ty, when did you get a pony tail? Ha. That is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Here's one without your pony tail if you want to use and one with a mustache to make you look more manly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Awesome, I'm going to use the 2nd one to market ironically to the hipster community and non-ironically on the Austin biker forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I fixed the hair issue you said you had due to the file limitation. Let me know if you want to fix anything else. Glad to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemoon Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 can we get a pony tail and mustache Brian? We're going "i love you man" and taking Ty national...or semi-regional...what ever realtor licensing allows.

FarmerTy Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hey hey, leave the fishes out of it. It hasn't even been 24 hrs yet! That last pic doesn't look half bad.
