Yeah, no kidding. He used to actually post quite regularly on LARC. I posted something looking for him about a month ago and he just gave a short answer and nothing since.

Someone said his tank wasn't doing very well, probably because of all of his travelling. He may be bummed out about that (only my speculation). I miss his posts. Jared where are you!!!

Well, you haven't been using the thread, so.... j/k of course. Sorry about that.

I don't know where Jlouv has been. He'll be back.

HA - HA

Couldn't find the smilie I wanted - oh well. Those things need to be alphabatized or something. Seems like they come up in a new position everytime you open the page.

Wife just went to bed and left me up still acclimating the gobies. They weren't all the way down to hypo but pretty darn close. General guidelines appear to be raising the SG over several days to bring them out. I guess I'm rushing it. We are at the 7 hr mark and I'm almost there. We are at 1.024. One more and we all go to bed.

I can install a mod, where you select your favorite smilies and they always come up first in the box?

Works for me.

Finally got the diamond gobys into the tank. One was on the floor within about 45 secs. He's first attempt at jumping was stopped by the 3" Perimeter Euro bracing. Then he saw light at the overflow and headed directly for it. About the time I came around the corner to enter the fishroom where the overflow box is, he jumped again and was on the floor. I netted him up and put him back in the tank. That took a bit of the wind out of him. He sort of just floated to the bottom. They are both resting under some rock work for the night. I did a quick rig with some ?????? (brain fart), that white plastic stuff with little squares generally used for lighting. Anyway, I hope they won't make it through the overflow tonight. I'll take a good look at things tomorrow.

Eggcrate. LOL!

Egg crate, and to make a sad post, my splendid leopard wrasse has been MIA for 3 days now!

Damn, ya all beat me to it. I was coming back to edit it. I thought of it myself. Geez, it's way too late for me.

Hope your splendid shows up and not in the dehydrated form.
