Weird Reefing Behavior

Jennifier615 · 05/17/2011, 06:38 PM

I was taking a look into my tank tonight trying to relieve a killer headache that came on later this afternoon, and after doing my tank maintenance I did something I do periodically from time to time and it struck me as possibly being a weird reefing behavior. I took my small feeding cup I defrost food in and I dipped it into my refugium and scooped some water out of my cheato scooping up a good population of pods and then poured the water into my display to feed my fish and corals............

With that being said;

What "weird" reefing behavior might you do that others would be like "Huh, I never thought of that"?

I would not say weird. Just a way of introducing them easier.

I've been accused of being "weird" for just being in the hobby. "You spent how much on that tank...just for fish...are you crazy..." Heck, I spent nearly 2 hours yesterday evening fighting with my Sicce PSK 2500 skimmer pump trying to get it back together without breaking it...somebody about got a $700 skimmer for free yesterday... Pull a fully gunked up skimmer cup out in front of somebody...they will be dialing the nut house in seconds...

Lmao!
I do the same thing for my seahorse tank. And when I go out of town I take half of the Cheato in the display tank and every happy and they start to dancing*around.

I cleaned my skimmer last night.. WHEW. its amazing the gunk in it. like a 1/2 layer of mud in the neck.

Jennifier615 · 05/23/2011, 04:20 AM

It sure does smell like pine sol. I wonder if that's what it is?

Does anybody know any awesome hairdressers? I just got this killer perm.

GT_Jacket · 05/23/2011, 07:06 AM

Yeah... I thought about keeping it to clean to toilet instead of selling

NeedBiggerTank · 05/23/2011, 08:00 PM

LOL - thats too funny. I bought a bottle at AC at the meeting yesterday. Used it last night on my new purchases. I kept thinking... I know this smell - what is it?

gmoney243 · 05/23/2011, 09:09 PM
