  • Thanks TxTropheusTraders!

    Wanted to thank Mike for allowing me and screenname to come to his home and gawk at beautiful fish!!!

    Very hospitable person that offered drinks of all sorts and for use to circle the "Holding facility". Still can't get the picture of  70+ Mtoto's schooling back and forth!!!! Long day well worth it to see all the fine fish and finally meet Mike! After work this morning(7am) I shot out to screenname's crib and from there we started the trek to CS.

    We ended up getting there early so we wandered around a bit and checked some stores around there. Going on with no sleep we sat there and just ran back and forth from tank to tank looking at all the different variants and fish that was at Mike's place. Eventually Imagirlgeek showed up and they went about bagging.


    Thanks Mike!




    p.s. sorry if it might sound like a bit of jibber jabber.....just got home after sleeping only 3hrs the day before and going since with no sleep.

      I did not come home empty handed but I did leave there with no fish...... I will probably go back with whoever goes after the new year....I am going on Vacation to Cozumel so I would rather have them afterwards so I can keep a close eye on them.


      We shot up to Austin afterwards since SN wanted to show me some LFS up there as well as his GF so that's were we went....I scored a rare and somewhat expensive Anemone which was in the LiveRock tank for what it cost for the rock.....SUPER SCORE!

          I think I have to say that it was one of many trips that I was excited about....I hate sitting in the car for more then an hour at a time, I'm groggy with no sleep, I needed a shower since I just got off work, contacts drying up but for some reason I forgot about all that.

                          Sorry I missed you but I was wore out.

                          It showed when I did my water changes.  I had one overflow (caught just in time with a little water on the floor), and one underflow (overflowing sump - this was a good gallon or 2 all over the floor.)  I spent the rest of the night with a carpet cleaner trying to dry everything.

                          Simply wore out.

                          Besides the murago - you would have enjoyed the Mpulungu also  :wink:

                            I've had times like that......actually twice if you count it by overflows.

                              Mike,

                              You have completely made about 15 very happy people with this group order, and about another 50 people very envious.

                              If another group order is ever arranged, I promise this time it will be different.

                              Thanks for everything...

                              I cannot wait for my Petros...
