  1. We took our 120 down, picked up a bigger tank and plan to use the same stuff we had (most of it anyway) in favor of doing the same thing. Our livestock is sitting in a 100 gal stock tub we picked up at wilco in Silverton for 50ish. We have a very makeshift "light bar" that our halides are mounted to and 1 pump split to 1 sea swirl (with a really cool little gadget we picked up at Advanced on the end) and the skimmer. Everybody made the move to that ok, we're losing a couple small pieces only because our Allen's had decided he didn't like where we'd put things. This is the same stock tank we used when moving that tank up from eugene, we just popped everyone from that tank in there until their home was usable again.

  2. First off.... I'm pretty sure you weren't behind us in the fast lane, not a fair label. The hubby likes to be able to go and getting a consistant 45mpg for interstate driving with his heavy foot is ALWAYS going to be a plus. Yes, we bought it for commuting purposes. Our 2005 Prius that we bought with 84 miles on the odometer is now reading at 85,000+ miles and still running great. I know that we didn't buy it for a family car, that's why we have our Audi wagon. But if it came down to having to travel a longer distance I would feel okay driving our Prius. It handles well for what it is and it's fairly roomy inside. (It's not the Audi but it'll do.) BTW I've been run off the road by a retarded SUV driver while I was driving our old SUV!! So even when you're driving something bigger they still don't see you.

  3. We chose the Prius over the Escape, Accord and Civic. It had more room and fold down seat (the accord and civic didn't have that) More comfortable ride then the Civic. It fit our family needs. There are kits for the 100 mpg as well as body kits and turbo kits (for those that need a little more go) We're happy with ours the way it is and wouldn't mind getting another at some point. It uses so much less fuel then my grocery getter which actually stays parked more often. :)

  4. It doesn't seem to have tentacles and it doesn't move around. It did shrink up when we touched it to take the rock out of the water (creepy feeling). It is really cool looking though and doesn't seem to be bugging anything else. Oh and we don't really want any majano thanks. But we know where we could get some if we did.

  5. Ok, so we were moving things from our 120 into the stock tank last night.... or this morning.... (scratch) anyway. We found this on one of the rocks that were in the back of the tank. Anyone have any idea as to what it might be? The brownish part under it is actually it's body and it stands off the rock about and inch to inch and a half off the rock. It's kinda cool looking. :)P1010211.jpg

  6. Seems like majano tends to look a lot like a micro bta,.... all cute and tiny and then he brings all his buddies out to party. I couldn't really make out the shape in your pics but that's what I can compare them to. Majano is evil and makes you wish you had aptasia!!

  7. We have quite a few fish in our 120 which also houses most of our corals. We love watching the interaction and it keeps the kids entertained too. Each fish seems to have a personality although I will be looking to have a bbq soon involving a coral beauty the other half brought home one day. Beautiful fish, it just has a taste for things it shouldn't be going near..........we're going to fix that(plotting) .

  8. Ok, we found this swimming around after the lights went out. Thank God for turkey basters!!! Here are some pics and a short video. This is NOT your ordinary bristleworm. Check out the close up of his tail. Should I be scared? What if there's MORE??!!(scary) (scary)

    Link to video (because I don't know how to post it the "cool" way). It corkscrews thru the water.
