Agree with this. I have a Planet 120, been up for around 5 years. Live rock, soft corals, haven’t done a water change in 3 years. RODI water only for top off, keep an eye on the specific gravity, and don’t over feed. Tank runs itself. Expensive to get going but after 1-2 years the only expensive thing you have to watch out for is the next fish you want! ??

That being said, anyone want a 120 with a Trigger sump? The older I get the more it feels like an anchor… Going on vacations and storms here in SWLA have me ready to get out and try again later…

What coral is it that you have growing on the overflow? Also, what lens/filter did you use to capture those images? Look great. As you know the blue lights wash out a lot of detail, your pics are crisp. Orange filter?

This is awesome, in the hobby myself. Planet 125 rimless with Trigger sump, will add some pics tomorrow. Just hit the 14 month mark. I loved my Diamond goby, best sand cleaner ever. Sadly, I don’t have a lid and he took a leap of faith, sucked. Now I have a banded goby and while he’s doing a good job, he takes a mouthful of sand and swims to top of the tank and releases it, gets all over my coral and rock. Thanks for sharing!

Used JibbaJabba’s recipe and added some sliced mushrooms while sautéing onions. Was outstanding, thanks for posting.

Stout - please share how you did this. I’m located off Holly Hill, a “contractor” for Suddenlink pulled brand new overhead line a week and a half ago, I can see the line still not terminated at the pole. Sub said we would be good in 3-4 days (obviously knew he didn’t know) but if you can point me in the right direction that would be great. One Kid started schools today and the other is enrolled in online only at McNeese.... AT&T LTE is spotty for us at the moment. Had to add hotspot ability to their phone plans just so they could do school work.

If you’re on iPhone and using Chrome, you do.... Double arrow tap quickly. Not sure about other phones/browsers.

Nice rig.

Do you know where your archive .pst's are being stored? If so you can open them in Outlook and they will show up in the folder tree on the left in Outlook.

Phones IP is 192.168.1.5, your DNS is also stating its IP is 192.168.1.5. Either manually set your IP on your phone at something like 192.168.1.234 or do what a previous poster stated and reboot router/forget/rejoin network.

Your phones IP is the same as your DNS, that won't work.

What we do when we have a client that is out of reach of service (within reason like your situation) is ask ISP to eat cost of getting signal to said location if the client will sign long term contract. Minimum I've seen so far is 5 years but hey, I've seen it save our clients at least 5 grand in cost up front.

I know I'm probably digging my grave but while eating some my MIL made, I knew there had to be a better tasting recipe out there. Wife said she loves them (her moms) but they basically tasted like plain ground chuck.. Didn't tell her there was probably better out there, but, ya know! Thanks for all the info

re: Amended Tax Return

Posted by lsusurfr98 on 10/8/12 at 10:53 pm to tigeryat

Just amending a simple return, nothing fancy such as investment income, income other than only job held that year, etc. We've gone to our local IRS office, they stamped the amended return, and we presented that to the lender only to be told they no longer accept the stamp - it must be "processed" through the regional office, ours being Austin, TX. I will add that we now owe money, roughly 10% of what we received from refund. We sent the check with amended return. Since we are not getting any money from them, do you guys think this will shorten the time it takes to process?

Seriously? I'm willing to try anything, it took us 2 years to find this house. So write my congressman and plead/beg/pray?

Amended Tax Return

Posted by lsusurfr98 on 10/8/12 at 9:30 am

Just as we are about to close on our first home, lender discovers we need to amend a 2011 tax return... We have amended and sent to IRS, anyone here know approximate time for it to be processed and updated in their system? IRS says on its site 8-12 weeks but I was hoping this is worst case scenario. Original contract date was 10/31 but sellers have agreed to extend it to 12/15 (only 10 week period) Anyone here know of a way to expedite process or have any experience with this?
